    Is it fixable, paintable? How much will it cost you to get it looking the way you want? For a thrift store & the shape you are describing it sounds $$ to me, but that being said I haven't seen it. Is the damage purely cosmetic? Or does it affect the use?

    Sounds spendy to me, but if you can fix it up into something very nice for not too much money, it might be worth it.

    1st try bargaining and if not you have to decide whether the quality of the basis toy box is worth the money.

    It sounds spendy to me. I paid 30$ for a rband new one that was painted to match our son's room.

    Personally I think that's too much for a toy box that is beat up! IMHO

    I noticed that GW is really high recently (past few years). Sometimes they have OK priced things but for the most part, it's too much.

    I think that box is too much $.
