Yard Sale Pricing - Polly Pocket Dolls??

[rszdtrvl]

I have a bunch of the Polly Pocket dolls. All are fully dressed and in like-new condition - many have accessories.

Would you post them together or separately in their own bags? What would you charge for them?

We are having a fund-raising rummage sale in November and I am starting to price stuff, but I am stumped at what to charge and how to organize these crazy dolls!

We had a yard sale a year or two ago and had TONS of Polly Pockets. We bought the small snack size Ziploc bags and put one doll with two outfits and two pairs of shoes in it or two dolls with 4 outfits/shoes. Most girls bought several bags. Can't remember what we priced them at though.

That is what I am kind of leaning towards doing. And then pricing the cars separately. There are some really cute dolls and clothes! I am shocked that none of the plastic clothes are ripped - normally they end up ripped somehow.

I think the lack of ripped clothing is a testament to how little your kids played with them.... I think my kids ripped the clothes on most everyone of them before they were done because of continued outfit switching... probably one of the worst designed toys I can think of for little girls.

My kids didn't play with them, LOL. I have a teenage son.


I just purchased the 2 bags of them at a thrift store for $2 each. I am sure that I could make more than that, so I am going to "flip" them and put them in our sale.

We are raising money to send our son to Washington DC as part of a school group, and are doing a large group rummage sale.

When my daughter sold hers we put one doll (fully dressed) plus one extra outfit and an accessory or two into a ziploc and priced them at .75 each. Sold them all so I guess the price was good?

This is almost exactly what DH said we should price them at! Only exceptions are a few larger sets, which we priced at $2 each.

Glad to know we were right on.

ebay is selling and has bids on Polly Pockets.
You probably won't get more than e-bay but at least you know
people may be looking for them (or looking for them to sell on ebay LOL).
Good luck with your sale.
