Kbonno Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) There is someone selling two built and wired Hofco houses with furniture near me. One is the Hofco Victorian Townhouse and one is the Hofco Federal Victorian with addition. They are selling for $325 for both. They seem to be in good shape except for the Federal is missing the small front porch. Is that a good price for both? I may have to choose just one due to not having room in my vehicle to haul both. If I take just one, price would probably be about $150 but would be hard to decide between them! I mainly want to know if that is a good price since I know only a little bit about the Hofco brand.

Mid-life madness Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you can post a photo or a link, it would help. Without seeing them it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonno Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Ok. Here are some pictures from the listing. They also have the addition for the Federal but not pictured. It will not let me post picture of Victorian (or any other pictures) but it is in slightly better shape.

Mid-life madness Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It looks nice. Keep in mind that most people never make any sort of profit on a dollhouse. What does the furniture look like? Are you going to do some rehab? I would offer less , but it all depends on how much you want the house. The unassembled kits usually fetch good prices, and are lovde by a lot of miniaturists 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonno Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 It is difficult to tell about the furniture. If I paid $325, I would be getting 2 houses (Federal and Victorian Townhouse) both with furniture. They are asking $200 each for each dollhouse.

Furniture looks like mostly Concord and in good shape. I do see a Bodo Henning stove tucked back in the corner of one I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonno Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Does the furniture look like Concord furniture or Concord Museum Furniture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Karen, if it were me I would reserve doing anything until I had the opportunity to look it all over in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that Hennig stove too....I also see a Concord pool table upstairs..plus some other good stuff! I'd pay $200 for just the contents of both those houses, I keep getting outbid on eBay for that stove. It always sells for $80+ or more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Holly says wait and see it for real. Then decide. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The stove could be a knock off. I only know this because I bought one LOL! I wonder if the electrical is operational? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbonno Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 True. As I keep looking at these I am backing off a bit. They look nice but I only have so much room for dollhouses and want to be sure the ones I decide to get really speak to me personally if that makes sense. These do not though I might make an offer for just the furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We who build them already KNOW that they speak to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
