On my last birthday in April I just wanted to go to an auction and my regular Friday night auction was closed that day. I found another weekly auction that I had never been to before so went to check it out. It was fancier then most auctions I attend, each item numbered and auctioned off in order and only higher end stuff. About a hour into it, and seeing how high prices were going I didn't expect to buy anything at all. But somehow I got lucky and grabbed up this lot of Vintage Barbies for $15. Fifteen bucks!!!!!
They came in a 70's case that wasn't in the best shape so I sold it in an antique mall for $9 getting most of my investment back right away. The rest that you see pictured I list in a single lot on eBay for a penny with no reserve and just let it go!
The dolls included were the familiar Barbie & Skipper but also a Julia doll and a (mute) talking Brad who is a bit more rare then the others. Julia had some issues. Someone cut her fingers off, but her head was in beautiful shape. Brad had his pull string stuck in the out position, but was in overall good shape so I knew he would attract bidders.
They also had a small assortment of older shoes and boots and an early Ken jacket.
This lot sold for $78.99 plus shipping costs making my $15 investment a pretty good one!
