itslittlewonder Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I went to a local consignment shop earlier this week and they had a Victorian Style dollhouse 95% completed for $50. Of course, I just got a free one on CL and I have my own from childhood and a Buttercup cottage kit in the box but I want it. I am pretty sure it's a Painted Lady from RGT and it's $50. My husband will divorce me if I buy it but it's my birthday next week. Maybe I can drop some hints? I went to visit it today and it's still there! I have enough to do but it's tough for me to not "hoard" them when I see them, you know? I need to just focus on the Westville I just got b/c it needs work but I still want it.

Zoey Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Go get it, you'll kick yourself later if you don't. What's $50 in the grand scheme of things, ha, ha. I wish I could find stuff like that at such a great price. I read that some people on this board have even found doll houses on the side of the road. Now every time I drive, I check the curbs, no luck so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 That's an awesome price. If you have space for it, get it. No need to try control with miniatures. I don't think anyone has ever successfully been able to before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah, you've come to the wrong place if you want to be talked out of buying more houses. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mininecessities Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Buy it! that is a good deal! Yes..go buy it. Think later, that is my philosophy! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGreen Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 What they said! What will $50.00 matter in two years! Besides it will not cost you anything to sit in a corner, in the attic, basement, etc. for a while if you can't get to it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat57 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 These enablers are all so b-a-d! Joking,joking!

Glad you found a great deal,Andi!And early Happy Birthday to You! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itslittlewonder Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 I was hoping you would all talk me into it! I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't get it. Hubby was actually fine with it and said it was really nice. :wub: Now I just have to figure out how to reduce pictures to post them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Andi, Congratulations on your Dura-Craft SF555; since the company no longer exists you got a real pretty! It was the first-ever kit I ever built, and I can tell you from experience that those windows are one huge PIA to assemble! So is the tower roof, and might I suggest using copper foil, rather than trying to shingle that monster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, you've come to the wrong place if you want to be talked out of buying more houses. Boy...ain't that the truth! I have a hoard of kits in my garage that is proof. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, you've come to the wrong place if you want to be talked out of buying more houses. Boy...ain't that the truth! I have a hoard of kits in my garage that is proof. Oh boy, hope you know what you got yourself into joining such an bunch of enablers here on GL !!!!! I have so many kits stashed under tables, hidden with tablecloths, and in every nook and corner, I'll have to live 347 lifetimes to get them all built and decorated - not to mention I'll have to become a millionaire to accomplish all of that ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I like to go look at my kit stash from time to time. It's very comforting to me knowing I have all those wonderful houses lined up as future projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
