Carbon was trading his bionicle parts at homeschool park days, but he didn't have enough pieces and I felt bad for him after an older boy traded him two launchers for an entire figure. Ebay seemed like a logical source to "bulk up" his bionicle collection, but I was unprepared for how much some people are willing to pay for these toys! After bidding on many lots, we finally got one. And to be fair, I also bid on a lot of groovy girl dolls for Hypatia. And then, since I was now hooked on ebay, I bid on a few lego sets and got a Harry Potter set.
At that point, I had to pull the plug on my computer. No More Ebay!
Some of those Groovy Girls look very familiar. My daughter still has hers and uses them often when she babysits. So much nicer – softer, easier to handle – than a plastic Barbie.
ReplyDeleteIt goes the other way too. Nick has pulled some pretty awesome Yu-gi-oh cards and has sold them on e-bay for more than I would have immagined.
ReplyDeleteI was sad when my daughter got too old for her Groovy Girls! They are so cool! She kept two: a mermaid and a Halloween witch. She sent the rest to her cousins, who absolutely love them!
