How many perfect days at Disneyland started out with a trip to the ticket booth?

Anybody have an extra little plot of land that I could use? : ) <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-DisneyLand-Ticket-Booths_W0QQitemZ200218778523QQihZ010QQcategoryZ1380QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Di...ViewItem</a>

Originally Posted By DisneyFreak96 I was thinking the same thing Elderp. This booth is not in the best condition and is going to need a lot of work. In addition, it appears it will be hard to move from the current site without causing more damage.

Just an FYI, don't ever be suprised how much anything that is authentic "DisneyLand" will sell for. There are a lot of very wealthy people out there who would not think twice about dropping HUGE sums of money for something that brings them happiness and fond memories. I am guilty of this on a smaller scale. I was absolutely obsessed with finding authentic Disneyland "Pencil Lights" These are little one-cell flashlight keychains that activated when you pushed a button on the top. These things were sold by the millions in the 50's-70's for as cheap as $2.00. I have found 3 of them on ebay over the years. My best example I paid $80.00 for. I would have paid $500. (Now that I have a good one, no, I won't give you $500 for yours )
Originally Posted By ArchtMig I would have easily paid $500 for the ticket booth, it's worth that to me factoring in the cost to haul it home and the cost and hours needed to repair and re-purpose it. Seeing that the high bid was a bit north of $1000, I might even force myself to pay that for one. But no way am I going to pay $5000.
