Of course, the one I passed up was cheaper than this. And I really don't need it, I have so many unbuilt kits. But I saw it and couldn't stop myself. Woohoo! Congrats! They are hard to find.

Elsbeth Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 What do you think the bidders see in this one that makes them go $60+ (incl shipping)? I don't see it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/TLC-Dollhouse-Furniture-Lot-With-Dolls/132638270610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird! 22 hours ago, minilover62 said: it's up again for $25 + $10.40 shipping Weird - it looks like its back for $25 plus $22 in shipping. Odd. This listing appears to be the one I saw earlier (I think): Really basic stuff. So seeing it for $60 earlier was strange. Even 47 (with the shipping) is odd.

Elsbeth Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 At first glance, I thought one of the items on the sofa was a noose. And I thought "man that is one morbid miniature auction" - but it turns out it was a purse strap. Whew - all will be well! https://www.ebay.com/itm/dollhouse-miniatures-handmade-accessories-handbags-lot-of-10/263681183376 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I find this quite charming - and the photos were charming, too; https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MINIATURE-GENERAL-STORE-WITH-OVER-200-PIECES/192520716881 I love a good general merch store. I'd love to find one all done in 1:48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well, I happen to have a thing for clocks, so I actually love it. But the shipping from Colorado to Georgia is pretty high. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd hit it with some paint and embellishments, change out those big Roman numeral numbers for some that are more to scale. It would be a great clock for the craft room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestPaces Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 No link here but an Ebay story... Yesterday I received a new-old-stock miniature refrigerator from Ebay. I love it but eeewww, when I opened the box a pungent cloud of mouse dropping smells billowed out from the box! Despite the refrigerator being banned to the outdoors and the packaging discarded, and despite the windows in my atelier (aka: spare bedroom) being left open during the night I can still smell the offending odor Oh well, it's a nice little piece and came with a nice handwritten thank you note so all is forgiven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
