Because Ty collectors are very particular about tags we do not buy Ty pieces with damaged tags. Exceptions may exist for 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation tags, or if our buy price exceeds $6. In this case please contact us.
Barbie
We're only buying dolls that are:
- Sealed in original, unopened boxes

When selling your Barbies, please remember posted buy prices are for Barbies in pristine boxes. Because collectors display their dolls in the box we are very particular about this.

Approximately 95% of Barbies we receive are non-mint.
