JURASSIC PARK Velociraptor Cage Prop Is for Sale on eBay
The actual Velociraptor cage used in the famous opening scene of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park is now up for sale on eBay. Remember when they are trying to unload the raptor and one of the poor workers is pulled into the cage where he ends up being torn to shreds? If not, I posted a video of it below.
There's no way this thing is in condition to hold a raptor, let alone a rabid dog. It looks like it's ready to fall apart. It did not stand the test of time. It's in such terribly poor shape. But if you want it as some kind of ugly decoration, the bidding for the cage is almost up to $100,000. You can always invest more money in refurbishing it if you want, though!
