I don't mind spending a reasonable amount for shipping but this has gotten out of hand. I read that eBay wants you to report high shipping costs to them. They know it's a loss of revenue when buyers do enact this tactic. I have been unwilling to do this as I fear I might get banned from the buyer. I am looking at house I would like to buy, she only wants $80 but she wants $145 for shipping. Sorry lady you lost your sell because of the outrageous shipping costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thimble Hall Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Ok I give in..I am going to have to restore the shipping address I used to have in the US as most things to Canada are outrageous if they ship at all.I am only half an hour from the border so I think I may have to sort of US for doll house buying. I read the wonderful offers you post and pout!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 OK, so I checked out the houses on Craig's List in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Tons of houses and where were they all when I was there? Hibernating, apparently. But here's something I found that was just plain weird. Here's an ad from the Twin Cities: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/tag/d/wood-doll-house-with/6194150215.html And here's one from Seattle: https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/tag/d/beautiful-one-of-kind/6236234517.html I have to say, I've never seen this house in any of my catalogs before, so I'm thinking it might be a child's house sold at someplace like Toys R Us. But what are the odds that I'd look at Craig's List in just two places: Mpls and Seattle, and find the same house? By the way, this one is from the Mpls/St. Paul area and I'm thinking it's the Miss Muffet by Walmer. I'd have to check to make sure though. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bab/d/doll-house/6233364674.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Kelly, the first seller describes that house as 3' wide and 3' tall; with only two storeys that would make it Barbie scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Kelly, that house is pretty cute. The way it opens intrigues me. I would be curious to know what it is. And it is very odd you found 2 at the same time! If you find one in Ga, let me know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Didn't somebody here have that house not too long ago and asked what it was? I don't think I was able to help her. I remember because their house had 8 columns across the front, one of the only houses I've ever seen that had so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 A few weeks ago I posted about my first dollhouse, which shows up occasionally in the Boston area. Lo and behold, here's another one! https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bab/d/custom-vintage-doll-house/6237912538.html The ad says early seventies... mine was bought in 1990, so I think they're a little off, but I guess if the same Greenleaf styles have been around for 30+ years it's possible this same style was being sold for 20+ years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
