Toys you've revisited on ebay

[bchgirl]

Have you ever browsed auctions looking at toys you once had? I have exactly two items from my childhood, cause garage sales came into vogue when we moved from our childhood home....and all my mother saw was $$$ signs Not really, though she sold items then that later she'd wished she kept. I'm thinking...yeah, ya could've paid for college for all of us just off that vintage Barbie/GI Joe (the full size one, btw, I called him Mike) stuff you sold for a dang quarter

One doll I had was a Jane West. She was Barbie sized, but most of her clothing was molded onto her body (in blue). She came with rubber vest and skirt though. She also had a horse and a pony (thunder and lightening). Was really tempted to bid on her....then thought what the heck am I gonna do with her? Especially since I have no Kens or GI Joes left to hook her up with....LOL.

Also had the original Mrs Beasley doll from "family affair"....course if I had mine...her re-sell value would be zip...cause her glasses were lost about two weeks after I got her

Had a talking Herman Munster....re-sell value zip....cause mine was mute by the time he hit the trash

Friend and I discussed how much we loved playing "mystery date"....remember that....open the door for yooouuur myyyssstery date... I always got the bum Any way I was gonna get her one as a joke....find a mint one with all the playing pieces....sucker sold for 40 some bucks...decided it was not that funny. Told her I thought about buying one....cause it's the thought that counts

My daughter has bought several of her childhood toys.
She got a Fred Flintstone bubble gum machine, J.J. Evans doll, two lunch boxes..Scubie Doo stuff.
It is alot of fun...

Yes! Mrs. Beasley, I had her and she was one of my fav's and I have looked on ebay to see what they are going for. I got an advertisement not to long ago in the mail to buy one I think it was Franklin Mint or one of those, she was like $200.00.
I have also looked for a " Cupi " doll I had those too.
AND I was looking for info on Sigmond the Sea Monster, cause noone here knew what I was talking about when I mentioned that cartoon. I found him on Ebay.

I have bought several things that I had as a child that were lost in a fire Like Straweberry Shortcake Blowkiss and her friends. And a fabric pillow that was strawberry shortcake as well. My Daughters love them and I also found Cabbage Patch sheets like I use to have that were brand new I was in heaven.

For 200 bucks, she'd better come signed by Mr. French. What's a Cupi doll?

When trolls dolls came back...told dd....oh, we had those...we called them wish nicks....got the infamous eye roll. I had one, he was dressed like a pirate.

I have bought old little peoples toys for my daughter. They are kinda expensive because they are now collectors items.

I recently found the old Pac Man board game. The one with the little plastic Pac Man heads that eat up the marbles as you go aroung the board. My sister and I were talking about it and there it was! Funny you mentioned this topic!

I thought those were called (or spelled at least) Kewpie dolls. Remember how good new plastic doll babies smelled when you first got them out of the package. I loved new baby doll scent (I am goofy). Do you remember when baby dolls came with the hole between their legs. If ya took those in the tub....she was gonna pee in there Shoot, come to think of it....that's why you liked them, isn't it, rrosenberry

I remember Sigmond the Sea Monster!! My very first car was a Ford, and I named it Sigmond Ford not just because I was a nut case, but also because of Sigmond the Sea Monster!

I don't remember the Cupi doll. Its ringing a bell but I can't picture it. My favorite was Chattie Cathy!! Maybe thats why I turned out to be a motormouth/blabberfingers!

LOL You mean you never had the doll that you would feed and then have to change the diaper?? I wasn't crazy about thoses!

And it WAS Kewpie dolls!! Now I remember!! I knew that sounded familiar.

How many of you had Easy Bake Ovens? Have you seen them now? So different!

What about Creepy Crawlers?

Yes, Jen that's why! LOL I found both spelling of the Cupie/ Kewpie doll on sites.
I have also looked for the Holly Hobbie dolls I had all those in all three sizes,, What happened to ALL that stuff? I often advise my mom how much all this " garbage" as she called it. Is now going for.

OMG, I just laughed out loud. I had the easy bake oven but my MOTHER wouldn't buy me additional mixes After the original mixes were gone....I made toast. Hadn't thought about that toast in years

And no potty dolls. You only got my dolls to potty if ya took them in the tub.

I did have a doll whose name I can't remember...but I remember her She was a blonde, dressed in a two piece outfit, top was pink,yellow, white stripe, bottom's were pink w/ grippy feet on the soles. She came with a tricycle (it was red) and a blue pony on wheels that she could walk behind and push. Now I'm gonna have search auctions just to see if she's still "out there"....out there....and missing me

[rrosenberry]

Recently, I went to our local antique mall,and they had one of those little white plastic Poppin' Fresh dolls ( Know what I mean?) I had one of those too, they had a tag on it for $125.00 , of course I called my Mom on that too!
" Where Is that?"
