fov Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The Country Estate has popped up a couple of times before, but it's definitely a rare one. It seems to be an Elizabeth Anne knock-off. Another member who built one told me years ago that it's in between 1:24 and 1:12, large, and easy to build. Definitely a good deal at that price! Here's a picture of the EA's instructions, if you want to compare the dimensions when you get the kit. The tower and peaks on the EA seem a bit more "squat" than on the Country Estate (could be an optical illusion), and it doesn't have the semi-circle windows. Also the EA doesn't come with any window trim, it's just a shell meant to take after-market windows (e.g. Houseworks or Grandt Line). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minilover62 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi Colleen, I have this house in 1:24 scale. Look at the instructions and it should say the size of the house when built. Mine has an addition, but if they call for about 24" wide x 13" deep x 21"high, then is 1/2 scale. Great find, I loved finishing this house!

1martinimomma Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Carmen and Emily, Thank you so much for the information on the house. I am really excited to get it at the price I did. I haven't built a 1:24 scale, so this will be a learning curve for me. I did download the picture of the instructions that were posted on the ebay listing so I could enlarge it to see if I could find anything about the scale but it didn't state it on the front page. I am just loving this house. Can't wait to get it! Again, thanks for the info and I will let you know when I get it what scale it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Another rare Victorianna kit has come out of the woodwork! https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1-24-SCALE-THE-VICTORIANNA-DOLLHOUSE-KIT-SEALED-/272897553510?hash=item3f89f63466:g:I-UAAOSwEEBZ7L~r I'd love it if someone here snagged them both and bashed them together, so my back to back Victorianna would have a twin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Samantha, I was in touch with the owner of that Queen Anne for a shipping quote which was enormous, and by the time I added to the price it really wasn't worth a lot to me. I was smack bang on the fence though. It has been there a couple of weeks and am still watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minikelli Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The only thing I have against that Medford kit is it's the same one that was on sale and went for $20 on a different site, if they would have been willing to ship I was going to buy it myself. BUT knowing they got it for the amount they did just to turn around to try and resell it on Ebay, I refuse to even look. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of the kit is high enough but you should see the shipping! Almost double the price of the house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Oh, I can believe it -- just shipping from Washington state to Ohio can at times go well over $80-$100, so I can't even imagine the cost of international shipping. It's disgusting honestly just how much mailing prices have gone up in the last few years -- and not just with the Postal Service, but also with services like UPS and Fed-Ex. Downright scary at times to look to even estimate shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it is "pre wired" with insta-wire. Is that common? I had not heard of that before. And this is a 1983 kit, so...it can be that insta.

minikelli Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Anyone in the Pacific NW, I'm guessing shipping would be not too bad... and a cute house kite for $9.99 -- unbeatable!https://www.ebay.com/itm/311985328460?_trksid=p11010.c100352.m3747&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150112095601%26meid%3D8541437dff4843df9628a46dabf978a1%26pid%3D100352%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D202080872619&ul_noapp=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Shipping to me would be about $16, but I'd probably go over there and just pick it up. However, I do not want or need another dollhouse... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
