She doubled the price! Ummm . . . no, I really don't need it. Even at $50, its a bargain. But gets me she would double the asking price when someone gets interested in it. Lost sale at this point. BTW, it has been listed for 2 months. what? I would've absolutely then offered her $12.50 lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were front-opening, I'd have long since owned one! Last time I was up there, they'd painted it blue and burgundy. It's been tan for decades. Why they changed it, I have no idea. I prefer the original. Couldn't find a good pic of the new paint job online. Hopefully the street view link will work. You can zoom in to get a better look.

Kells Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If I had room for a 5-foot long dollhouse and $6,500 just lying around . . . But sigh, look at the work on that interior! 24 photos to enjoy. https://nh.craigslist.org/atq/d/exeter-dollhouse-miniature-doll-house/7356102108.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'll bite, if the furniture's not included,why include it in the photos, especially the obviously Tudor tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s gorgeous, but I’d want much better photos if I was considering paying that much for a dollhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even notice that in the listing, lol. Unfinished tables at that. That kills it, I'm not shelling out $6500 if I don't get the $10 Concord icebox and the Fantastic Merchandise curio table with all the legs broken off! But yeah, seriously, why not just take them out first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kells Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Listing says it's a Hofco Homestead House, $50 for pickup only in Fort Lauderdale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392805413267 That certainly is not what's in the box though. I'm pretty sure it's a Keith Ballhagen storefront, in which case fifty bucks is a bargain! I haven't seen a Ballhagen store for sale in ages. He had some fine workmanship. Lower right corner in this pic. It's upside-down (the raised panels are at street level, not at the top of the store). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurMama Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I always wanted the general store to go with Pepperwood Farm. $50 if you're near Marietta. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/364795841970767/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island-Shack Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Cute Beacon Hill - looks to be in good shape, and it's only $80. If it sits there much longer I may have to go rescue it. Especially because its a blank slate inside, nothing to strip/replace. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/347988010217447/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannonc60 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Those houses are just perpetually listed. Do you only pay Ebay fees once an item sells? Otherwise she would have spent a fortune. And again, would anyone pay $150k for something with such terrible photos?? There is something I just don’t understand about this person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you only pay if an item sells and that you're allowed a certain number of listings without charge (250, I think?). There's a small fee for listings over that number. This explains all the horrendously bad "art" for sale for $1,000,000. I guess it only takes one sucker! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could tell people one thing to make their postings, whether on eBay, craigslist or wherever, it would be to learn to take better photo. Most garage sale photos are so terrible, I don't go because I cannot see anything clearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno..where would this furniture go?! Maybe a haunted house I guess, but even then...it's creepy but funny but awkward but creepy...I don't know. The arms are movable! I looooove creepy and odd things; especially minis!!! I also love country style and modern and Victorian and Art Deco and eclectic/bohemian … basically; I LOVE IT ALL!!
