CJEP Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ok, I found this really funny. This seller has many of the Dollar Tree furniture listed for various prices. Here is one link: ebay And this poor person who bid on this one thinks he/she is getting a deal. With shipping it will be much more than 1 cent.

KathieB Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 My goodness! Talk about buyer beware! I'm surprised that anyone would bid on these pieces unless they are so crazy for a bargain that they'll buy anything for a cent. The photos show every uncraftsmanlike aspect of the items in excruciating detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The problem is that some folks don't have access to dollar stores. So maybe to them it would be a great deal. Guess it's the old adage of one man's trash is another man's treasure. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAK Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Yep seen these on e-bay before. I guess if you don't have a dollar store or don't know then it seems to some to be a good deal???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchouch Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've never seen or heard these dollar tree furnitures. Are they kits? And from looking at the pics, I wouldn't buy them for that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJEP Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've never seen or heard these dollar tree furnitures. Are they kits? And from looking at the pics, I wouldn't buy them for that amount. Mary, Dollar Tree is a chain of dollar stores across the country (I think) but not everywhere. Some sell dollhouse furniture--which is what I found listed on ebay. And Dollar Tree is a true dollar store where everything is a dollar so the mark up is high on most of these items and the quality isn't very great. For a dollar it can be worth it, but I wouldn't pay more than that. They also run slightly small in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I saw *unfinished* Michael's hutches for $7.99 (starting bid) on ebay awhile back. Shipping was around $6. I just shook my head. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've seen these before too. I agree, if somebody didn't know where they came from, well, I guess MAYBE I could see them buying these from this buyer. I honestly would never dream of selling something like this on ebay, though. Perhaps the seller is getting these wholesale and doesn't realize that they can be purchased from Dollar Tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 For US$10? OMG, where? where? find me the person so desparate to buy $Tree furniture they'd pay $10! I got a beautiful bow-front bombe chest HOM kit I made for DGD's San Franciscan for $10! and all the drawers opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
