kokomo Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The estate sale is right next to the house in the movie 'Mrs. Doubtfire' which sold in 2016 for $4,150,000.00. Never mind the dollhouse. I'll take the real house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yeah, it's in Pacific Heights, it's a ritzy area! Here's an interesting handmade dollhouse elsewhere in the Bay Area, good price for what looks like a solid shell. I haven't seen one like this before: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/art/d/handmade-dollhouse/6573727166.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was from plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people don't understand about Ebay is that low starting bids often attract more bidders and therefore a higher sale price (often, not always). I have always had good success using this technique (not for minitures so i may be wrong). Certainly tempting though I doubt it will sell for the starting price.

I know, but not always.....I hope you can get it for a good price. one time I was bidding on a Willowcrest and I was going to get it at a great price. The seller up and canceled the auction at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are honest though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qubanqtee Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 the shipping on that Rutherford is a little whack, but if you can get it for a good price even including the shipping its a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say a Hofco...? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/gms/d/quality-first-estate-sale/6572809649.html I'm not interested in buying it, just curious. This house looked very familiar but I couldn't remember where exactly i saw it before, but now I found it. I think it is the house on the cover of the "Everything you wanted to know about dollhouses but didn't know who to ask" book https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVERYTHING-ABOUT-DOLLHOUSES-PLAN-BOOK-HW1008/163009506122?hash=item25f41fab4a:g:DJ0AAOSwA4Va2QzO Because at the end she has an AD about the Playscale Plan Books, I'd say that this is probably a playscale house built from one of those plan books. And just right now, while looking for a Cape Cod kit or Plan, I found this Norcross Manor that also looks like the house in question..https://dollhousejunction.com/collections/dollhouses/products/norcross-manor-assembled-dollhouse-vintage?variant=11370139942955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...I'm not convinced it's the Norcross. The tower looks too short for it to be an RGT house. And the porch roof looks flat, not slanted, although it's a really low slant and the roof looks, I don't know, bulkier. Just thinking out loud...
