The price I believe was $19.95. I spotted these at Cracker Barrel off of I-83 exit 4 in Shrewsbury, way up on top shelf, they had 2 of them on shelf' hope this might be useful; when I spotted them I smiled, recalling the videos posted here. Thank you guys for all your entertaining and informative posts. Jeff
The first one that I bought off of Amazon was around $19. I returned it. There was NO SPRING. There was, instead, a plastic "expandable" tube of sorts but one has to expand it manually and then it doesn't retract unless you manually push it back together. I came in the same Toy Story packaging as the 2nd one that I bought (shown in several of my postings in this thread).
