I thought this might be a good place to post any links to any auctions that might be helpful or what we would like to share with other people. I'd like to refer this seller, 1gramcm3, because they take excellent pictures and most or all of their sets that they put up are complete sets. Here is the link to this person's ebay page:> search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ25QQfrtsZ50QQsassZ1gramcm3i just thought it would be a good place to start for someone who is just starting their collection. personally i prefer to get a deal on a lot, but for those who are picky and want to make sure each set is complete, this seller might be for you. =] the best part is that they offer "buy it now" and the items look like they are in great shape [but it could be just the pictures]. one thing i also found interesting was that this person mentions that their items are "vintage" yet the word is not in the main titles of the auctions. which means there is less traffic which = you can snatch this up before anyone else! =D there's also this mini surprice owl set on there. it's so cute! i don't know how often that set comes up, but i would think it's hard to find. only thing is, i'm not willing to spend $24.99 right now... ;]

Yeah I thought the owl was cute too, but those sets seem to go for cheap on auction so I am going to wait too! Thanks for posting the link to that store though, I never saw them because of not putting 'vintage' in the title. Sometimes it drives me nuts that the new LPS totally eclipses the old stuff, I have to wade through a lot of auctions!

excited and not. hahaha. i guess if someone was just starting out, it wouldn't be a bad price, but i think if i waited i could have had a much better deal. i have a lot of the sets and was probably after about 1/3 the lot. mostly the sparkling pets, some of the playsets and the twinkling sled. i'm sure i'll get *some* money back, but i would really like to get most of the money back. ;]

If you decide you don't need the Chirpy Tree friends Squirrel and the Bunny from the Sledding party, I'm the girl to call Congrats on the lot too! I wish I had the money to buy giant lots, those are my favorite

If you decide you don't need the Chirpy Tree friends Squirrel and the Bunny from the Sledding party, I'm the girl to call Congrats on the lot too! I wish I had the money to buy giant lots, those are my favorite trust me, i wish i had an extra one to help you, but i'll be keeping those because i need them to complete sets too. =/ there is a squirrel in the next lot that mouse has sent a link to. if anyone is seriously planning to bid on this lot, please post or pm. i was thinking about it, but only really wanted 2-3 items. i emailed the seller a couple days ago and we made some possible arrangements if i were to win the auction. so please, let us know, so that i don't bid anything up for anyone else if i decide to. ;] On another note, if you girls haven't seen these yet, this seller:> myworld.ebay.com/kinseysue78/has put up a lot of auctions in the last day or so. maybe about 10 or more. a lot of them look complete, and these aren't the common sets that we see up everyday. a lot of sparkling sets and WITH the cards! and the kitty and puppy stamps WITH the spilled milk or dog bowl! okay, i'm hyping the items up, but it seems that people have a hard time finding these simple details *i think*. and most of them aren't bad prices for a buy it now and/or starting bid. i bought a few sets myself, but i'm holding off on the rest. =]

prices are getting insane. i looked at completed auctions from 3 months ago and they seemed to be way cheaper. maybe i'll wait until after christmas to keep buying. my good buy of the month was a complete (minus the brush) water garden kitties set for $12 plus shipping. It had a buy-it-now and I just happened to find it 5 minutes after it went up. I'm very excited about that, that is one of my favorite sets. Now I need the huskies one

i think that waiting after christmas would be a smart move for all of us. hahaha. but i've noticed that there are so much more of the "kind of" rarer sets... BUT what if they don't have as much listings? i remember that just a couple of months ago, there was barely anything! it was dead. oh well, we'll hit the next wave sooner or later. Like angelbear said, they'll always be a better deal tomorrow. =] i'm actually glad that i've started to get a little bit pickier on things. =]
