  • Rainbow brite stuff fetches a lot - i paid £12 for one doll. But they need to have perfect hair & their original clothes
  • I've still got all the original Star Wars figures and Mill Falcon, At At Walker etc lying around at my mum and dads place (didn't have the room in my new house :D ). with original boxes, mint condition.

    Anyone know the going rate for these?

    Oh god, I've just realised how much money I must've given away when I cleared out my old toy boxes when my mum moved house a few years back. Boxes of care bears, original my little ponies (complete with stable lol), a pair of original Cabbage Patch dolls with their certificates (the boy was called Ramsay Reagan, how American :)) and loads of Rainbow Brite stuff. I never really played with my toys so they were all in really good condition ... I always knew being a child of the eighties would pay off (well, for someone else it has lol).

    Cult stuff can hold its price as well..look at some of the original Batmobile's and original Sooty stuff.

    I'm still gutted that my mother chucked my 1980s Sooty with wand in a charity bag :( Only found out recently.

    I have a load of Disney books which came from a week by week thing - are they worth anything?
    Have Quints and Sylvanians too, in very good condition most of it too. Wish my talking doll could be fixed, they seem to sell for about £150! :eek:

    I have a Paddington but not an official one, he was made from a pattern, would he be worth anything?

    Old and used sex toys don't sell very well on ebay...

    Disney books..I am struggling for the name here and 'grolsh' keeps coming into my mind but that's wrong as that is the beer! However there was a set of hardback Disney books with a similar publishing name, most of the set are worthless but the odd one does have a value, I sold a couple at 99p each on ebay last year as I bought a whole set at a car boot for £2. Look at completed listings on ebay and use the publishing name in the search and see which titles make money.

    Paddington is unlikely to make a lot as he is not the official one, but might be worth a try?
