WTB Lawn Darts

Im looking for a set of the original lawn darts with the metal tips. Please let me know your asking price
thanks

Banned in the united states for causing multiple deaths.

I have seen sets at flea markets. They usually want crazy prices for them. Last unopened set I saw they wanted $80.

My favorite game that used these was 2 player. The object if the game was to get to 10 points. You gained a point when your opponent picked up or moved where either of their feet were planted our you hit them in a fleshy area.

Pretty simple- pace off a reasonable distance, face each other, and take turns lobbing the darts.

Great fun for all ages.

Great banning yard darts must have been my fault. I thought you threw them in the air and see if you can get away before it hits you. 8O

Should have said something earlier I saw a set for like 10 bux not too long ago. I already have a set so I wasn't interested. Searching for jarts may help you find some, there are still millions of sets out there.

I didn't believe you until I Google. Its called thinning out the herd. Shouldn't be banned.

The masses agree with you. Only Uncle Wilfred with the hole in his foot disagrees.

I guess individual components can still be purchased, just not assembled darts.

I loved those things. I've tried finding them here and there.

I have a friend that was selling a set. I'll see if he sold them yet.

My mom had one go through her foot back in the day :/

Played with those when I was around 10 years old and loved them. No way a product like that would fly today.

I am pretty sure they have been banned from ebay too. I have seen the ones with weights on the ends in stores though.

I see a set at auction with 17 minutes to go. current price 31.75

These go up for auction at least once a month around here. They go from $15 -$40... the ones today were a little rough but in original box for $31

Just talked to my buddy. he still has a set he's looking to sell.

I've got a set of Jarts my wife got for $2 at a yard sale about ten years ago. Lots of fun - just don't play with or around stupid people.

Man...it would be awesome to have some lawn darts...

Just saw a set yesterday at a flea market. Didn't look at the price cause I already spent all my money. Fun memories though!

Why are they called Jarts and not Yarts?

I have an original 1968 set of "Javelin Darts" (which became....Jarts). What's your offer?

I was on this hunt about 3 years ago. Ended up having to get a friend in UK to buy some for me and ship them to me conspicuously. Crappy thing was, half of the fins broke off of them the first game we played.
If you can get your hands on a legit classic set, I say do that.

There used to be a guy named "The Jart Man" that had a mailing list and also sold new target rings and replacement parts.

There are a ton of variations. I believe the "Jart Missiles" have a little more blunt tip (still metal); they may be a later model. The slider ones were pretty cool too; they made that crazy loud noise when they hit they ground (/body).

Seems like the Jart Man may not be around anymore...
