What has sold: Toys and Games

December 1, 2016 by Kari @ She Thrifts 2 Comments

I don’t sell as many toys as I used to, and I often skip picking up games unless they are brand new/factory sealed.  (There are plenty of games out there worth picking up, but I know myself well enough to realize that if I will need to spend any amount of time checking to see if a game is complete, it will become a chore that I will procrastinate indefinitely.  Thus, it’s best to not even buy the game in the first place.)  Below are some of the toys and games I have sold recent-ish-ly.

Super Why is a good buy!  I will buy pretty much any and everything Super Why.  I picked up this small plastic (3″) toy at a yard sale over the summer, and it sold very quickly.

I love picking up Richard Scarry toys too!  (Full disclosure, I borrowed the photo below because I have apparently already deleted mine.)  I found all six of the characters in cars below in a quarter box at a yard sale over the summer.  They were all used, but in very good condition.

I don’t know a ton about the Loving Family items, but figured the car was cheap enough to make it a good bet.

It seems like Leap Frog fridge magnets abound, but I can’t remember ever coming across this particular set before.

Perfection!  I pick this up whenever I find it complete and in good condition.  I always list it for $39.95.  It takes awhile, but they always eventually sell.  I probably sell 3 or 4 sets every year.

I still love The Office!  I bought two Office-themed games at the same time, and the other (The Office version of Clue) sold ages ago.

Paid: $5.00 from FB, Sold: $42.95 (around 10 months after listed)

I picked up several brand new puzzles on the half-off day at a children’s consignment sale in the spring.  I think this might have been the first to actually sell.  I don’t love that they take a long time to sell, but do like that there is a decent profit on them once they do.

‘Tis the season to flip toys!  Have you had any fun or exciting sales recently?

    I used to love selling toys. I have a hard time finding them cheap enough for resale now. I mostly buy at GW and their prices are sky high these days. Looks like you are still doing good with finding toys at good prices!

      My lord you are correct in GW prices being sky high! I just went into one recently after work one day and I about dropped the kids toy I had in my hands due to sticker shock! Price? $54.99! I won’t be going there ever again! We have Salvation Army near us, many locations all over the place and I Love it! Love this blog too! Don’t ever stop! I am a fellow thrift error but of mostly American Girl and I actually am starting my own website!
