The famed Asbury Park carousel once housed next to the Casino appears to be up for sale on the eBay auction site.

The asking price is $250,000.

The carousel is currently in Sun Valley, California, according to the eBay listing for the historic artifact. The seller describes the item as the “Asbury Park NJ Palace Looff carousel the whole carousel 72 animals huge machine.”

Buyer should be prepared to move the carousel — the listing says local pick-up only.

Local sources have said that the original horses were long ago sold off individually.
