GARDEN SLED

I'm sorry but $67 for a plastic child's sled with rope and handle. Ridiculous. Make it yourself for 1/4 the cost.

@AnyaK I thought the same thing. Doesn't look too sturdy or well made. Did not see the presentation.

@kaydee50 I saw the presentation. Really ridiculous in my opinion.

Really too small for much of a payload. Also a wagon or wheelbarrow would have a higher bed for filling. Not feeling it.

Would be worth it to me if I garden if it is pretty big. I am old, can't and shouldn't carry a lot. I would buy this rather than scout around and find the stuff and make one.

That's one of those things that would be worth it to me more than what I paid, or paid someone to haul stuff around one time. Dirt, heavier pots, etc.

It's a better buy than a bunch of on sale clothing you don't have space for and you'll wear once or twice--mayby.

My new way of evaluating price and value.

I have a dump cart. Got it at Tractor Supply. Fill it up, take it to the curb, and dump it. It was in the < $200 range. I don't remember exactly since DH gave it to me for my birthday. I'm thinking $150-$175.

I can see it as an option for those that can't lift things very high. Or for piling branch clippings when tree trimming, or for weeding. I imagine eventually the price will come down some.

I've used a wheelbarrow, and a smaller trolley. What works best for me is a garden wagon I bought at BJ's for $60. It folds when not in use. The only problem is lifting potting and garden soil four feet off the ground to place inside.
