Determining the value of your vintage “stuff”
If you want to determine value go to ebay to Advanced Search. It is a button found at the end of the search line where you enter what you are looking for. Once there fill out the item you are selling and then check the Sold item list.
You will find many interesting things. Our Lego set was worth 3 times what we paid, Star Wars no longer available, and we sold in a day, my Dragonware full set was worth $35 bucks and my antique doll the same. Gave the doll to a doll store, they couldn’t offer me anything because it wasn’t worth much and the packaging and shipping would have been expensive. Disney doll was listed for months at the price that it sold for before and no takers. Also true vintage clothes that I spent hundreds on I gave to them for $30. Sometimes finding a home is easier. You have to ask yourself the effort to make $20 bucks. The post office lost one of our pieces and I had to refund the money to the buyer.
