Step 1
Decide what you want the stilts for, and how much you want--or are able--to pay. If you're going to be a clown at a young one's birthday party, you want to look for good quality--and, thus, more expensive--stilts, probably with the capability to allow you to bounce, as well as walk. If you just want to walk around your yard or apartment, then you can go with a much less expensive set.

Step 2
Check out eBay for the latest and greatest of the new and used. Chances are you can find what you need and, if you're adept at out-bidding your competition, at a price that is reasonable. As with all eBay purchases, check the feedback comments of any seller that you may do business with to be sure that you're entering into a fair and viable transaction.

Step 3
Go to construction websites or stores in your area and look for drywall stilts. When you have to put drywall up on a ceiling or on a high wall, it's very difficult with ladders and standing on tip-toe. Stilts come in handy for such work, and drywall stilts can provide you with sturdy, long-lasting use.

Step 4
Consider shopping around in various places, as well, to make sure you get the type of stilts that you want. With so many varieties on the market, it's worth your time to shop at hobby and craft stores, hardware and building supply stores, and at as many online sites as you can find to satisfy your need to elevate your standing in the community.
