carrie_bays Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I think I might have confused everyone on my last question...so let me try again. I am looking for a few web sites that I can order a few inexpensive but cute props. Kid, baby, senior stuff...pretty much just anythink cool for a good price. I already have backgrounds and muslins, and a few props. I am just looking for some new stuff to add to my collection. Thanks again!

rffffffff Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 inexpensive and prop don't seem to match! Try looking in second hand stores, used furniture places, ebay, etc. Most of the stuff I have seen, if not all, is kinda overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randmcnatt Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Robert's absolutely right: cute don't come cheap these days. <p> If you don't faint viewing <a href="http://www.photographyprops.com/">PhotographyProps (dot-com)</a> or <a href="http://cart.owens-originals.com/PHOTOGRAPHY-STUDIO-PROPS-s/40.htm">Owen's Originals</a> and can avoid a <i>severe</i> case of whiplash from <a href="http://www.wickerbydesign.com/">Wicker by Design</a>, try <a href="http://www.dennymfg.com/store/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=106&Itemid=26">Denny's</a> - they're about as economical as it gets.<p>Window display suppliers have cute stuff, too, and the prices are reasonable, but those props aren't really designed to stand up to ham-handed seniors and your typical maniacally destructive toddlers, so you end up paying at least twice for any prop you buy.<p> If you get a chance, hit the state, regional and national photographers' conventions. The vendors don't like to pay freight to get their stuff back to the factory and will cut you some pretty good deals, especially after lunch on the last afternoon of the confab.

jgalyon Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 yea...and Denny's ain't cheap. but i will say that Denny's has "something" on sale on a continual basis, so if you get on their mailing list, sooner or later you'll find props on sale.

stephenwood Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'll say www.backdropoutlet.com again. They have many props and some clearance stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyp Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I second Rand on the Owen's and Denny's. Denny's every once in awhile will run a special on something. Twice in the past 3 months, I have seen the infant shell holder on sale with a free bathtub.And, of course, Ebay.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
