    Most childrens videos do not sell well on eBay but I have sold a Pigeon Street video for £26

    The Ladybird book Cinderella is worth up to about £120 - quite often much less than that on eBay though, more like £40
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    I bet you don't have every single MLP.....you would have to have hundreds and hundreds. There are that many. :D

    Yep, and thats without factoring in the greeks and the mexican variations. As for Care Bears, I doubt you have all of those as well, some of the cousins were so incredibly rare they are often thought to be samples used by salesmen for the brand.

    I was going to say thousands of MLP but was not sure if that was actually right or not.....thinking about it, with the variations, I am sure it probably is.

    As for Care Bears...if she has the vintage Panda or the Pig (assuming they do exist of course) then that would pay for one amazing holiday :)

    AFAIK Perfect and Polite Panda have never been seen, Noble Heart Horse and Treat Heart Pig were the 2 that were thought to have been salesman samples, around a dozen Noble Hearts have turned up over the years, but only one treat heart pig. I cant recall exactly what he went for but I think it was in the reigon of £2000.

    True story, when I first started to collect Care Bears I used to go booting, one day I found this weird thing that said Care Bear on it, but as I didn't like it I left it there. I wandered around the sale for an hour and on my way back to the car passed this weird bear again. deciding I couldn't leave it I paid 50p and bought home a Noble Heart Horse....

    When I sold him for £500 I did think back to the fact I'd left him sat on that stall for an hour!!

    'Nintendo Game & watch' games - especially if they are the more unusual ones.

    Sylvanian families, evil knievel (the original ones), star wars figures.

    Fisher Price Little people and also the accessories for the houses. Fisher Price wind up record players etc.

    Fisher Price dolls and accessories for the big dolls house they used to sell (I think it is called 'loving family'). The furniture for that can be a few pounds a piece!!

    The tiny polly pocket figures from the 80's.

    Lego and Playmobil.

    Subbuteo - the older the better. Subbuteo sells even if the things are broken. I once sold a small bag of players with missing legs, and arms for £10 - and the buyer was very happy with it!

    Ant and Bee books (by Angela Banner) - remember those?

    I must sort out some other things from my loft!

    Prices for the tiny pollies dropped. After I'd sold my care bears DD started to collect old pollies and we have an enormous box in the loft that contains every compact set, a complete town and lots of jewellery. we were going to sell last year, but decided to wait until prices crept back up.

    The exception to this is the Disney Polly Pockets that always seem to sell well.
