Barbie Collectibles

Does anyone know of a buyer of vintage toys (think early 1970's)?

My collection has sentimental value to me but I am considering selling them, possibly on e-bay. I am wondering whether I will do better and be happier about selling them to someone who appreciates them. They are in fair to excellent condition. E.g., Screech, Spinning Wheel, Close N' Play Phonograph, Barbie camper, Timey Tell Doll, Chrissy Doll, Velvet Doll, Baby Tenderlove, Peachy and her Puppets, Dawn dolls & case, handmade Barbie clothes, doll clothes, etc.

Post an ad on craigslist.com before e-bay, if you want to first try to sell for a high price (with free posting)... because you might find a collector in your area who would pay dearly.

hand-made barbie clothes might not go for as much as the real ones, nor would your barbies if that's the only clothes they have...

You might find that your sentimental value is worth much more than the dollar value. You don't want to regret selling (especially at a low cost) if they can be cherished by you, and later handed down to family

Barbie $550 Barbie About the Book Assembled using the traditional anglaise technique and color-tipped by hand on art-quality paper, each page of this limited edition series bears the unique imprint of the artisan. The Assouline Ultimate Collection heralds a return to luxury, care, and mystique of a fine, hand-bound book. Big-eyed, blonde, and beautiful, Barbie took over the world in 1959 with little more than a white-and-black striped bathing suit and a pair of high heels. Today, Mattel sells three Barbies a second, and children in more than one hundred and fifty countries know her name. Now, on her fiftieth anniversary as cultural icon, Assouline presents the ultimate collector's volume on the world's most popular doll. Encapsulating her history, chronicling her fashion, and imagining her life as a woman of mystery, glamour, and fun, Barbie presents this totemic figure as never seen before–in vivid dioramas of Barbie at work and play and in portraits of vintage dolls and accessories. A muse for children and adults, designers and artists, writers and cultural critics, Barbie remains a powerfully evocative and enigmatic reflection of our dreams, our hopes, and ourselves. About the Author Yona Zeldis McDonough is the editor of The Barbie Chronicles. Her essays, articles and fiction have appeared in numerous national and literary publications.
