Serena's Vintage WishList Updated 6-21-08

[seagoddessserena]

I WAS only collecting the new LPS, but after I saw the Shamu Family playset on ebay, I started looking at the vintage LPS and now I'm hooked. I've already bought several things, but this is the stuff I still need. Notice I said "need", lol.

I only want to buy the sets complete or very, very close to complete. I don't need boxes or backcards (will take them if it comes together), but I would like them to have all pieces or just be missing one small piece. You get the idea. Anyway, here's the list in no particular order!

Chirpy Birds- have on hold
Magic Monkeys- have on hold

I have no idea what is rare or whatever so please tell me if I'm asking for something that will cost me a fortune. Thanks!

Also, is $10 plus shipping a good price for the Zoo Baby Zebra complete? There's one on ebay I'm thinking about. Thanks for the help!

Zoo Jungle Bunch, Baby Zebra, Baby Tiger, Baby Chimp, and Jolly Toucan are probably one of THE most common sets, however, Jungle Bunch is usually missing the smaller pieces and Jolly Toucan is usually missing the perch ring which goes on your finger. If you're looking for a deal, you can usually find these in lots, but baby zebra and baby tiger are more than likely to be complete. Actually, Baby Zebra is missing the baby mouse pretty often, but big whoop. I'd say each of these sets could sell for $10 or less, but usually people aren't as interested because they come up so often. Jungle Bunch complete *could* be a little bit more. Color Change Chameleon comes up pretty often too, but it sells for a little bit more for a smaller set for some reason, and especially if the lizard is in good shape.

Magic Monkeys come up pretty often, but are usually missing the purple platforms and extra banana bunch. The rest of the sets that are not rarer or higher paying come up frequently, but not as common as the list of sets in the previous paragraph. Usually they are missing one or two pieces. Bobbing fish, if it comes up usually have broken stems which hold the fish. i think people would prefer to buy these sets mint because the sets are pretty fragile.

The most rare out of your list is Fearless Falcoln, Supper Time Guppies, Merpets. Curly Tail Trio, Waterfall, Jewel pet necklaces have been coming up lately, but sell for more. The necklaces have been selling for about $30. Some of the Newborns families are pretty rare, ESPECIALLY the fox and the swan, but mostly the swan. and... the lion set comes up pretty frequently, but usually sell on average about $25 complete or maybe even higher. it depends if it disappears for awhile or not.

Not too many people care for the mini surprise families. hahaa. i have a link for you that i will PM. i strongly suggest you bargain with them. and um, yeah, i think that's about it.

Anyway, hopefully this helps. Anybody else have any feedback?

Also, does anyone have any fair pricing suggestions for the complete or near complete sets?

i have a price range in mind, as always. Just want to verify if my price range is about the same. Mouse? hehehe. ;D

[seagoddessserena]

Wow, well that sucks on the higher priced stuff. I won't be able to get those for quite some time. My husband just informed me I have to cap my spending to save for our vacation. So that sucks big time since I just posted my want for all this stuff, lol. I still may be able to sneak in a few things. Haha.

[flipdat]

oh, and i forgot to tell you. Misty still does have her otter but she's been trying to figure out a price to sell it at...

[seagoddessserena]

Okay cool. I don't suppose you know the range that she might decide? Like will it be $5 to $10 or $10 to $20? I will have to live without it if it's too much unfortunately.

[flipdat]

i'm thinking that she's thinking $10 to $20. one person suggested that maybe she should sell it for $10. but it also was bid up to $20 on ebay at one point. anyway, i let her know that you were still interested so she's contemplating. You can join us in the other newer forum if you would like to. We'd love to have you over there as well. =]

Thanks for all the help mouse!

[flipdat]

Cool! thanks for all of the help mouse. i think all of the prices i gave Serena all fell in between these price ranges. Super, i'm getting better at pricing. ;D
