Mattel Ghost Trap

-$600 + shipping

I’ve had this trap for MANY years and it was never my intention to sell this, but times are tough and intentions change. The trap is MOSTLY complete, it’s just missing the directions and the original battery door. In place of those are some insane extras.

First up is a replacement metal battery door with a v-hook. Fits just as nicely as the original.

To go with that is a holster for the trap. It’s missing the leather strap, but the trap fits so nicely, it’s not needed.

Also included is a simple plug and play wireless activation system. The receiver runs off of two AAA batteries while the transmitter (designed to slide onto your belt) runs off a MN2/23 battery. The receiver plugs in snuggly into the trap cord port via a custom made 3D printed adapter and the receiver itself sticks on via a strip of industrial velco on the trap. You can swap this out for the stock cord and pedal with ease, just make sure to power down the trap first to avoid triggering it accidentally. Buyer may request to not have the wireless system included.

The main power switch was replaced with a metal switch.

The inner cartridge hides the biggest secret of all: a signed message from Ernie Hudson himself

This WAS used as a costume piece up until a couple years ago, so there is some minor wear and tear, but still looks amazing and operates just fine, though, as you’ll see from the videos, the pedal DOES works, but not consistently as is known to happen with these traps.

So, in short you’ll be getting:

A Matty Collector Ghost Trap signed by Ernie Hudson

Original Crate packaging with foam inserts

Both sets of side rods

A metal replacement battery door with v-hook and matching holster

Original pedal and cord.

An optional wireless system for the trap.

-EDIT- Reduced price

Took me forever to dig up, but finally found the image from 2013 of me and my friends meeting Ernie Hudson. This was taken minutes after he signed the trap cartridge and minutes before I got us removed from the area for loudly proclaiming the “screen used” Ecto-1A was the wrong model and year.

Doing my best to give proof of authenticity of the signature on the trap.

Also, thanks for the help with the youtube links, Kingpin!

Price lowered

Reduced price. PM with any questions or comments. I’ve got bills coming and times have been tough, otherwise I wouldn’t be parting with this.

If you’re willing to sell the vhook battery cover and holster separately to bring the price down for the rest of the lot, I’d be interested in purchasing them for my Matty trap

I really can’t do that. As stated, I don’t have the original cover.
