Remember the days when Coleco? was flying Cabbage Patch dolls over on 747's to get them to stores on time? People were tripping over other people to get the doll for the children. Past crazes that have had time to age like fine wine are also good areas to look into for selling on eBay. Recently Cabbage Patch kids dolls are making a comeback. They come in all different variations, white, black, boy , girl, even animals! I even heard the once hot Furbies are on the top ten list this year!
So why do these things make good items to sell on ebay? It turns out people long for their memories quite a bit. In a difficult world, warm memories of things they loved as kids often become the collectibles of the next few decades. Few items have created as much interest as Cabbage Patch dolls. While we have sold some "average" used Cabbage Patch dolls in the past, we had the opportunity to pick up a collection of them from someone moving. Most of the dolls are in near perfect never used condition with all their "adoption papers" and boxes in great shape. Any items in such good shape are a sellers dream! I have posted pictures of a few of our 40 some odd Cabbage patch dolls you can find in our store. We will also be posting some very rare European issue Cabbage Patch dolls, which are popular as they have larger freckles than their American counterparts.
We have some twins, both white and African-American dolls and premies, and some Koussas (Cabbage patch cats).
I still think that someday those people with piles of beanie babies will experience the same revival. Of course that might take some time!
You can find our cabbage patch dolls in our store at www.onceuponabid.com . You can just type Cabbage patch in the store search when you get there!
