Skeletons

Bought 'em!  Right now "Bob" and "Alice" are sitting in lawn chairs in the front yard as "Napoleon" (my 3' skeleton) rides the flower pot tricycle hauling pumpkins.  They won't stay there, but for now they're pretty entertaining. 

One more shift after tonight and I'm off work for 10 nights, so pictures are coming, I promise!

Quick Question

I have the opportunity to buy 2 skeletons off Craigslist:
http://asheville.craigslist.org/for/2003625495.html

The seller says the skeletons are moveable, but not poseable--there must be some support to keep their positions.  He says he has 2 of these skeletons in his graveyard scene and gets a lot of stop-and-lookers, and he thinks it's the skeletons.  He will come down to $165.00 for these two new skeletons and will deliver them to me this weekend.  Actually, he offered (via email) to do it tonight, but I'm a little cautious.

Based on the photos and his description of the dudes, height and weight, do you think this is a good deal?  Hubby's reluctant, as I've spent a lot this year already, but I think this would be worth it.

Advice? Opinions?  Anything more I should ask this guy?
