I want that Springbok !

So many people write asking me where to get Springbok puzzles, old and new, that I decided to add a page telling where I have found them. Sometimes they ask if I sell them. I don't usually, though I have been known to sell a duplicate of one I already have on ebay. (I don't work for Hallmark, and I never did, I just love Springbok's)

Of course, the newer ones can be purchased at Hallmark stores and sometimes at drug stores that carry Hallmark Cards. Ask your local Hallmark dealer for a list of the puzzles that are currently available.

Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. are good places to look for the older ones. Cheap, but you take your chances as to whether they are complete.

It's that time of year - go to yard sales and you might get lucky !

Any in your area ? Check them out !

There is also a Springbok mailing list, people on there sometimes trade puzzles

Springbok Puzzles for sale - Pat Davis's Website

Ebay

This is where I have bought quite a few I was looking for "forever" and a few I didn't even know I wanted until I saw the picture of it.
http://www.ebay.com
it's a great place to buy old Springbok's. Even if you never bid on anything, you can see pictures of the puzzles.
http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/search.html
is their search page, you can search for
Springbok
and be sure to check "search title and description".
A typical day will get you 400-500 "hits". Most can be had for under $5 + shipping. Older ones, MIP, & holiday ones tend to go higher.

Advice: Be sure to check the seller's feedback rating. And also check the wording on the page to make sure it says complete if you want a complete one. Some people will put "it looks complete" - that just doesn't cut it with a jigsaw puzzle!
Always read the whole thing to check shipping cost, etc. There is one person on there selling puzzles for .99 cents, then charging $20 for shipping !

And try not to get too carried away <grin> Usually if a puzzle gets high in price, there will be a few more of the same one up for sale in the next week or so.

There are other auction sites out there, Yahoo!, etc, but so far ebay seems to list the most Springbok's.

Hallmark Online

they don't have them listed, I don't know why.
