I don't think they will sell these at this price unless they have some extraordinary version of one. And yeah, I have them. I doubt I could get much for them. I was reading somewhere that the Original American Girl Dolls, (the original series) are now worth a lot of money with their accessories. Hmmmm....my girls had those. And I still have them in a box. Mind you they were played with. And don't have their original boxes and it's possible the moths or mice have had a go at the box and gotten in, but I have to wonder. But the animal toys? That's artificial ....or inflated. I don't believe those toys carry those value (granted I haven't looked them up) but I'm nearly certain that they don't have that kind of worth. So, that, to me at least is "artificial" Because they are driving the cost up with their fantasy idea of their value. I had a bunch of original pokemon and digimon for a while. Couldn't seem to sell them, and they were discontinued and collectible. Gave them to the neighbors! Of course, now I regret it, but every now and then I do a big purge.(06-15-2016, 05:49 PM)Juniper Wrote: https://medford.craigslist.org/tag/5634371505.html
$1000 dollars for some plastic toys. I have at least half of those floating around my house and shed.
It's super annoying that the cost of toys are artificially inflated by collectors. No finding deals here.
Hows it "artificial"? The price of a used item depends on what people are willing to pay.
You can say the price is inflated but the inflated price is real not artificial. Now is when you tell me I'm being too literal LOL.
Anyway if you have at least half of those floating around your house and shed you should round them all up and see how "annoyed" you are if you find out they are worth some serious cashola.
"Because they are driving the cost up with their fantasy idea of their value."
It's no fantasy. It's real.

Why not? Do you have an ebay selling account? Have you ever sold on ebay?
I saw a Hummel figurine on Craigslist advertised for 25 bucks. I looked it up on ebay in SOLD items and low and behold that particular one was selling for $200 to $250.
So I met the lady at Mervin's in the lobby and bought it. As soon as I got home I took some pics, put it on ebay for a 250 "buy it now" with a "best offer" option.
I sold it in less than 24 hours and 225 bucks went in to my Paypal account.
