sharrice Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi, I am new here. I love finding and making miniatures. As we all now they can over take a home in no time at all . For that very reason I have some dollhouses that I would like to pass on to somone else. I was wondering if anyone has any sugestions on how to do this? I dont want to ship them,but I don't want to put them on the curb as trash. I am not looking to make money from them. If u took time to read this thank u for your time :hug: Sharrice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyD Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 You could try listing them in your local Craigslist or maybe give them to a thrift shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi, Sharrice! You can post them on the community trading post (no prices) here: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/i...hp?showforum=49 If you don't get any takers try http://www.freecycle.org to list them. :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grynche Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Some charities will take them for fundraisers, especially if it's an on-the-spot fundraiser like a silent auction. That way the winner is there to take the house home. Raffles are harder, since the charity needs a raffle license, has to account for every single ticket, and the winner may be three states away when the drawing is held. Maybe offer it as a door prize to an event. There are always thrift stores. Be sure to label the house as a collectors item and as unsuitable for any child under I think it's 12 to get around liability issues.
