Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[Monsters For Sale]

if i told everyone i bought my glenn strange frankie bucket on ebay about ten years ago for $20 something dollars and shipping would ya alll believe me........? cause thats where i got mine...the whole world must have been sleeping that day..............??

It happens.

I got a purple Frankenstein pencil sharpener that was listed as "RARE, RARE, RARE" with five or six large, clear pictures (back when eBay charged for each listing picture).  The seller listed it with a Buy-It-Now price of $8.00 - WITH FREE SHIPPING!

My hands shook so badly I could barely complete my PayPal payment.  I was sure someone must already be completing their payment and would beat me to the draw.

It had been listed for a couple hours.

I bought mine for $30 in Oct. '13 and I hemmed and hawed over it for about two years before I did. Wasn't until I was doing a search for vintage blow mold at eBay and I saw an auction for one there go for huge money, that I raced to the dealer and snapped it up!

It sat around with a $30 price tag for 2 years?

I'm just starting to get into Vintage Monster collecting and the Frankenstein Bucket was my first purchase.  We had visited the shop infrequently and had seen the bucket during the visits over the two year span.  And actually, it had a $40 asking price, but he gave me a deal, because I also bought a N.O.S. Blow Mold Bella Lugosi signed Dracula, too!  Funny thing is, he wanted twice as much for the Dracula!  It was bought at an eclectic antique/gold and silver/the guy buys and sells whatever comes into his shop, shop.  Not a vintage monster dealer, by any means.  Nice guy.  He made a profit and was thrilled to have it go to someone who appreciated it.  Everyone was happy.

Not too sure I'd let my kid walk around with a $1000.00(+,-) trick or treat bag!  Know what I mean?

well I wouldn't rate the that high. And they weren't always collectable at one time there were little monsters carring these buckets door to door. And that thought there puts a smile on my face.

One dealer on Ebay has.  He had a "Buy it Now Price" of $999.  Needless to say, I will not be the buyer for that bucket.

Does anyone know how many or how long this Bucket was produced and was it a nation wide release?

I understand the Frankenstein bucket was released as part of a series of three or four buckets as a Halloween item one year. Do the other buckets surface often? How much do they typically fetch?

My contact at the defunct ABG factory, Dennis, says he had a friend that worked at Clinton. and he saved a couple Creature Buckets for himself.

Wait. There are other buckets?
