What was your best deal ever?

[jrtmom3274]

Hmmm... my best deal... I've had a couple of lots where I sold almost all of it, made all my money back and got to keep some cool stuff. Like my mom's near-mint PM Kirsten doll.

Probably my best deal was the blue armoire for $46 and no shipping (picked it up) or Kit's bed, bedding and rug in great condition for less than $30. Oh, and my mom's Josefina table & chairs for $20, thanks to Laurie and OSusannah!

Mine would have to be Felicity's retired Travel Trunk (the green and brass one) for $10 in mint condition. I still can hardly believe that one!

That would have to be my one Craigslist find that started my collection (Becca already had Felicity and Elizabeth and the Bitty Twins). It was Felicity, Molly, and Samantha - all PM - with all three beds and bedding, nightstands and nighttime accessories, nightgowns, 4 or 5 other outfits each, Samantha's desk and school stuff, and Samantha. It was 500 dollars and she actually delivered it.

Felicity's needlework kit in mint condition for $20.00 on ebay. It was being sold by an antique dealer who had it listed as "doll-size needlework hoop". I can't even remember how I found it. Also Addy's bandbox in a larger lot that included Addy's bed and quilt for $70.00.

Probably mint condition PM Samantha and Molly for $4.80 each..
Or maybe a full Bitty Baby set..$400 worth of clothes and furniture for ~~$35.00.
Most recent a beautiful Mattel Josefina for $1.91.

I got a fixer-upper white-bodied Kirsten on eBay for $43 - and the seller was from the SLC area, so I got to pick her up with no shipping/handling charges! I've got most of her all cleaned up; now I just have to tackle her poor hair and (CLOSE YOUR EYES, SHEILA!) put her back together!
