Mommy2Four Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I'm thinking metal, but I am looking at all my options. Let me know if you come across something please.
DaveL Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 These things are always selling used in the local classifieds. Kids grow up, people move, etc. and people will practically give them away if you are able to go and take it apart to move it. I know several people that saved a lot of money doing this. If you are handy you may want to check it out.

Marcster Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 You could look on freecycle.org and craigslist.com too. Even if you had to drive a little, you could still come out ahead... http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileys/10.gif
MandaJo111 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I drove past one yesterday in perfect condition. They had it out for trash or free pickup. They also had sandbox stuff and all kinds of things. I would check out free cycle. Put a wanted ad on there. Usually someone will realize they have one and don't really need it and offer it to you.
aidansmommy Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I lucked out at Toys R Us a few weeks ago. They were putting up the ads for the new spring outdoor equipment on a wall in the front of the store, but they still had the display in the back of the store near the bikes with last year's stuff. Almost everything was sold out, but I got a nice Kettler metal swingset for $50. (It was on the very bottom of the display board, so maybe that was why there was one left.) I thought that was a steal. I posted on the offline deals forum about it, but I don't think anyone else has been able to find one. You may want to keep an eye out though just in case. Good luck!
Mommy2Four Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 The bad thing is we have two feet of snow here and nobody is thinking about cleaning out their outside toys. I am hoping to have one for Easter.
naillady4jm Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 looking for the rock climber to add to wooden swing set,any one know where to get a good deal on one?
dmmiller Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I saw a really cool set at Costco, rockwall, clubhouse, swings, slide, etc. It was a little pricey, but very cool. The kids would love it. Tried to talk my DH into getting it... but he says our boys (5,7&11) are too old. hohum.

dmmiller Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, I guess it was more than I was remembering.. for some reason I was thinking it was under $1000. (Also, Lowes has parts for wooden sets Naillady4jm.)
Jennifer0530 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I think Sam's Club has the same set. It was $1,199.00! We paid that much for our wooden swing set from Menards. It has the clubhouse, sandbox under that along with a half table to one side, 2 swings, 1 set of rings, monkeybars, and the circle slide that turns into a waterslide. One looks at so many and Menards had the best price, One place quoted $10,000 for the same thing we have now with a couple other options.

katiesmommy01 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I went to my neighbors who had one I liked and asked them about it...a few days later they offered it to me for $100 and moved it down the street and set it up. They weren't using it anymore and me asking gave them an opportunity to get rid of it. When I moved 2yrs later I sold it on Ebay for over $200 and they came and took it apart and took it away :) I say ask around your neighborhood if anyone has one they'd like to get rid of!
MelissaS Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 We bought our Little Tikes set on craigslist. It was in excellent condtion and we paid half of retail!
jukus Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 No sure if they are a deal or not, but Walmart.com has some wooden swingsets less than $400.00. Saw them today when I was on the website.
