How to Buy or Sell — Toys

Don’t discard any old toys. Even a tiny Barbie doll’s girdle has value to a collector. The best-selling toys are antique dolls, teddy bears, nineteenth-century iron toys, robot and space toys, pedal cars, and scale model autos and trains. Dollhouses and dollhouse furnishings, dolls front the 1930s to the 1960s, including Barbie and her accessories, banks, and lithographed tin toys are valuable. Games, hand painted game boards, celebrity items, and farm toys are good sellers. Any toy that is out of production and mint-in-the-box has a resale value to collectors.
