    If you ask me my selling price is 1650.00
    I have just finally taken them out of storage after 15 years.
    I have not tested them, or checked parts though they look great and brings back a lot of memories...
    Especially for their age.
    Some of the nylon "
    invisible
    "
    wires I imagine need simple
    tightening
    or stringing.
    I imagine all the parts are there, though as I said, haven't checked yet... with a flea circus everything is usually easy to recraft.
    The price is for them as they are now.
    Once I have time to get them up and running the price will go up in price by around 0-450
    There's a great video and other documents on the inner workings of the main flea circus by the creator and also the performer.
    If they sell they will go to a deserving new home.
    If they don't ... they will stay with their loved home - ME.
    To see just one vintage Flea Circus listed is an event.
    To see 3 plus Vintage Fleas Circus Memorabilia is ...
    Well, no words for it.
    Sold As Is.  No Refunds, Ask Questions
    I have not tried them out since taking them out of storage.  Seems like all the parts are there.
    ASK QUESTIONS.  IF YOU WANT SPECIFIC PHOTOS JUST ASK.
    THE SHIPPING COSTS WILL BE HIGH DUE TO SIZE, WEIGHT AND PACKING.
    At least 3 Large Boxes plus 1 or 2 smaller ones.
    They are shipping from Ventura, California
    If postage and packing is more than listed I will pay it.  If less I will refund that.
    If you wish to arrange and pay for packing and shipping via UPS, FEDX, FREIGHT on your own, that is ok and I won't charge postage.
    Handling time is listed as 20 days BUT VERY VERY LIKELY I will get these packed and shipped in 5-10 days.
    GOOD CHANCE THAT 'MAYBE' THE POSTAGE WILL BE LESS THAN CHARGED HERE.
    I WILL REFUND ANY EXCESS POSTAGE AND PACKING ALONG WITH THE PACKAGES.
    Questions?
    Please, just ask.
    It might take me a few days to get back to you because of my schedules at the Studios..
