Should i buy it?

http://i9.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/0f/8f/49_1_b.JPG

It's a ride on space ship you know the 1's you put money in and they go up and down left to right for a min or so then stop?

Id love to get it and paint it and my baby nephew loves going on these rides at the shopping centers.

Should i get it?

It's really a want but pretty useless item isn't it :(

has brand new seals and tires only needs new set of paint.

I'd say if it's less than like $50 or so yea, but other than that I highly doubt it would get enough use to warrant the inital cost.

Your nephew may love them things when you're at the store but if he has access to one that he can ride non stop for an hour, it'll probably get old...  :-\
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I hope it won't come to the " I should have bought it" syndrome  ;)

HECK. build a small square of concrete or asphalt in your back yard. Paint lines on it, and add lights at the corners. Then take this thing off it's "base" and sit it there on your "landing pad". It will really make your neighbors nervous......

NO MORE!!

That's what, about $75 US? I know it's useless, but how can you resist for that kind of money? Assuming you have a place to keep it of course.
