The $10 price I quoted is an opening bid price and there are a very few of the Cruella De Vil's listed. You mean you've never been to eBay Pamy? I've sold various items on there over the years but nothing for quite a while. I've sold various antique and collectible items. Many from when I had the antique shop and was going to the swap meet and yard sales all the time buying!

I want a "That Girl", hope they have them here. My friend said last night that she had been to Mattel outlet's grand opening Sat. already! I hope to go tomorrow afternoon to check it out.

My friend who was in the hospital who I've been taking care of ... his son took him to the VA hospital in Loma Linda around noon today. So hopefully they can take better care of him and get him back on his feet.

TTYS sweetie

The other day at Target I had seen and gotten the Princess of Ancient Greece and Princess of England. I love the historical costumes!

My aunt went to a yard sale on Saturday. She hit the jackpot. The lady had over 20 barbies in their boxes, all brand new. My aunt offered her $40 for all of them and the lady took it. I was so jealous.

WTG Bakerygirl, your aunt lucked out!

Pamy, I didn't see any puzzles, but then I wasn't looking for them, so they may have had them but I just didn't see them.

After spending almost $100 today I'll probably have to wait till next month to go again, LOL!

aaahhh, you shouldn't have! but I'm am jumping up and down like a 7 yr old in excitement!!!! YAH!!!!!

Thanks for that info on the toy store doll...I would think that would be valuable since there are not that many mattel stores.

Have you ever seen it on Ebay?? We could buy them and sell on ebay for a big profit!

I haven't looked on eBay for it but will do so. The problem with eBay is that the buyers want everything CHEAP.

A lot of the Barbie's that I bought in the 90's you can't even get back what you paid for them. Mattel overproduced and had dealers talking everyone into buying "2, one to keep and one to sell when the price doubles, etc" so Mattel basically doubled the sales on their "collector" dolls without an increase in the number of collectors...good for them but not for the buyers. Anyway, that's my gripe for the day, LOL.

One of my best friends let her mom sell her vintage Barbies in a garage sale for $40. These were great old Barbies, wig dolls and such. It still makes me sick to think about...

It would make me sick as a seller but as a collector I could only wish to be so lucky as to find a deal like that.....

A few years ago when I had a space in an antique mall the mall people knew I was really into Barbie's so if anyone called about selling any they gave me the contact info. One gal had called and had some old Barbies to sell.

She worked for a mini-storage facility. Several of the spaces in one of the buildings had been broken into a few months prior and so management put the stuff all into other units and locked them up and notified the renters of the problem, to come in and identify their belongings...... After 6 months no one had claimed the Barbies (and boxed personality dolls also) so this gal got to have them. My BF and I bought about $2,600 worth of dolls ($2,000 Barbies) and ($600 personality dolls) for only $200!!!!

Pamy, do you have vintage dolls also?

I have a few, maybe 20, several Francie's, a Fashion Queen w. wigs, a couple of ponytails. I got into rerooting a bit a few years back. I have a "No Bangs Francie" that needs a reroot when I get in the mood to do it.

My sister and I still have our old Barbies, wigs, Midge, Francie, Skipper, Ken, and Alan and their clothes. My most treasured clothes are the ones that my Grandmother made for our dolls. I would give anything to have the 2 Barbie cardboard doll houses and furniture that "Santa" gave us in the mid 60s.

I'm too old to have played with Barbie's back then, LOL! I only started when I went into my "second childhood". It was the vintage clothes that hooked me.

Does anyone remember that a lot of the clothes in the 60's (not Mattel) were made in China and only had little paper tags inside that said that's where they were made? I have quite a few of those in my collection.

I do have a Color Magic I got in that one big buy who's hair was stiff and brittle and broke off down to the scalp when I tried to wash and condition it. I rerooted her with really long red hair, she's one of my favorites. I'll have to try to find some of the pics I took a few years back and see if she's in them or take another of her to show you.
