Check your storage!
One of the most popular kids toys of the ‘90s is trending online, and if you’ve still got one, you might just be able to use it to pay off the week’s groceries (or maybe even a few weeks).
Your favorite toy is now a collector’s item!
The Fisher Price Dream Doll House was a staple in every little kid’s home in the ‘90s.
If you didn’t have one, you certainly knew someone who did, and I dare say it was on the top of your wishlist at every Christmas and birthday – despite the ‘creepy’ doll faces.
Fisher Price even shared a clip of the 1992 buy just last year – and commenters had never felt so nostalgic.
“I actually had this doll house until 14 years ago. I still remember the Christmas I got it. I found it hidden in my grandparents house. I decided to randomly start playing with it. Then I got caught and had to wait till Christmas. I was so excited Christmas Morning,” one person said.
“I still have mine and all 3 of my children have played with it and loved it! My youngest is 3 and still plays with it often!!!!” said another.
“That brings back sooo many memories,” a third agreed.
Well, if you haven’t sold yours by now and you’re not feeling so attached, you might want to go and check its condition, as the piece and all of its accessories are now selling for hundreds online.
How much is it really worth?
An Aussie mom has taken to the Australian BSS Fisher Price Loving Family group on Facebook this week to put her beloved doll house, along with all the accompanying accessories, up for auction.
And, while a standard doll house might set you back a pretty penny now, this one – now over 30 years old – is going to cost you even more, with a starting price of $522.10 USD.
This particular page sees many desperate shoppers helping others to buy and sell these dollhouses in both blue and pink.
Prices start from around $16 for those feeling particularly generous, and go up to around $196, and sometimes even more.
Over on eBay, you can find similar prices again, with Salvos currently auctioning off a doll house with four dolls and a number of other accessories. The current price? $336.10 plus shipping.
Despite little ones turning more and more to digital toys and online options, it seems there’s still absolutely a market out there for ‘vintage’ (though referring to the ‘90s as vintage truly hurts my soul) toys like these.
Those with a blue roof like this one are said to be even more rare, so if you think you’ve got one at home and are in need of some extra cash, why not jump on and see what the rest of the world thinks it’s worth.
