My Miniature Madness Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Good luck with the delivery timing, Samantha! If it doesn't work out, show him how excited you are about it and I bet you can sway his opinion. A great meal and a little hanky panky can go a long way, too, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your husband sounds like mine with the car stuff. We went to a huge classic car swap meet in California and had to get up at 4 a.m.. Luckily I got to visit a Dollhouse store too. A good hiding place for long thin boxes is behind the couch . And what Jodi said!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to get up at 6am to go horseback riding and we'd be laughing at the people we saw on the tennis courts and wondering who would get up that early just to play tennis. We never stopped to think we were the weird ones. That San Fran - isn't there also a Van Ness in San Francisco? I had to read that ad twice before I realized it really was in LA.

Elsbeth Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 $30 all wood shell: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bab/6055940658.html seems like a nice deal for the sort of person who wants to start from almost-scratch.

fov Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hand made by local craftsman, fashioned after a house in Hudson, MI. Caveat emptor. ;) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Furnished-Doll-House-/172594894856?hash=item282f751808:g:K48AAOSwTM5Y1s0j 11 hours ago, Elsbeth said: A half scale thornhill all done up for $1200 - this is a great deal: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/art/6059923805.html Nice, but I don't think it's $1200 nice. When I look at the pictures all I see are those exposed edges of the plywood and chewed-up hinges, the front is unfinished with missing pillars. It wouldn't be hard to fix up but it seems pricey for the condition. I really like the arched casing around the double doors on the front. I think those are Lawbre 1:12 curved window pediments. I bought some to use on the bay windows in my Victorianna and they ended up being the wrong size for what I had in mind, so it's nice to see that they can be used in half scale.

It says " House and select pieces of furniture hand made and signed by local craftsman." What made me shake my head was the price. Really? $800 and no bathroom? For that price, I'd at least want a free standing outhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if all the furniture was included (it looks like a lot of jbm and bespaq) it seems like a decent price. Also, I am not a re-doer, so I like that most of the work is done already. But yes, it has some shabby aspects to it. Okay - that house on ebay - LOL!!!! "fashioned after" is hilarious. It is, however, charmingly finished and seems well done. But...if it were on my craigslist here, it'd go for $100 at most. It is super cute, tho. I'd have to repaint that acidic yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Thornhil was sold on ebay a year ago (it was discussed here at the time) for $399.00 plus $90.00 shipping. Now without making any changes to it or even reattaching the pieces that the seller says came off during shipping the asking price is $1,200. WOW! that is some big time appreciation in value. Of course the kit has been discontinued so maybe the seller is taking that into consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...as I said, $175 would be a good deal. But I am less inclined towards a $1200 flip. Poor little house...it needs to find the proper owner.
