    Prices on sets sometimes is just ridiculous! It’s so hard to say no when you’re really wanting certain ones, but you just can’t justify the high prices. =(

      Yes, sometimes prices are ridiculous!!! But I would feel so bad to overpay. Especially since I always "preach" here on my channel to not spend these high prices. I really want to help keep prices affordable. And actually sellers are just able to set these prices because we as customers often pay them. If nobody would pay these prices, they would go down.

    Polly Pockets are so fun! Also, you kinda resemble honey lemon from the movie big hero six!! 🌟

    Those prices are crazy... at leats they were reliable and actually showed up!Seems like you got an okayish deal and nobody was wasting their time. Even if they are not complete and some have the wrong dolls they are pretty =D
    I'm still mad at my past self that we sold that cinderella castle :')
    Guess we didn't know what treasure we had there... but that was also roughly 20 to 15 years ago so maybe prices weren't so crazy back then XD or at least our prices weren't

      Yeah... I think I still came out successfull with the Pollys I bought and not overpayed.
      Ooooh, I do not even remember that you already told me that you had the Cinderelly Castle. Maybe I forgot about it. But yes, I guess 15 years ago the prices were not that crazy yet~ haha

    Oh I've only just realised that Bluebird toys is Swindon UK, which is where I live! So I'm guessing my MLP lunchbox is from Swindon too! Great video again.x

      Aha, super interesting. I just researched that and you are correct. The Bluebird Toys headquarters used to be in Swindon UK. Funny that you are living there~ haha
      Thank you

    Those are great finds and I'm glad you got a good price for them especially for the bath time one and complete! I've just started collecting them and the prices are crazy for incomplete/damaged ones. Definitely takes a lot of self control and patience to wait for the right one. I thought the pink chapel was more rare than the yellow one. Here in the US I mostly find the yellow ones.

      Thanks for your comment ^^
      Yes, I was also so glad I could get some for good prices.
      I have set myself some price limits for ponies but also for Polly Pockets. So yes, sometimes it takes a lot of patience until the right one in the right condition and with the right price shows up.
      Aha, interesting that over in the US the yellow Bridesmaid one seems to be more common.

    Hi Lau, thank you for another video❤️ Lucky that you didn’t pay that much for the ballerina or other Polly pockets, i mean even it is complete, the ballerina cost about 80-100 EUR depending on condition and variation. Please wait for my box lmao I am going to send it on Monday or Tuesday! Xoxo

      Hi, thanks for the comment ^o^
      I'm also happy that I did not break down and pay those prices. The funny thing is I think I found on ebay what they based their prices on... there is one Ballerina one for 399€ buy now complete and in mint condition. Still to high, sure... I guess they saw that and that's what they used as a reference...
      I'm so excited for your box

    I have that Cinderella castle and I didn't like it so I painted it black and purple to look haunted, I picked it up at a market for like 7 euros...
    I might need to dig it up and undo my painting... LOL XDDDD
    Luckily I always only use acrylics which can always be safely removed without damaging the toy...

    • @LauSkypainter

      Ooooh, that's a crazy Idea to give the Cinderella Castle a haunted overlay *o* I love that. I bet it looks amazing!
      Sure, if you want to earn endless amounts of money by selling the castle, you should hurry and get the paint off~ wahahah
      Whenever I find a spare Cinderella Castle in bait condition I should make a haunted overlay on it for my Halloween decor :)
      thanks for your comment~

    Also ich habe eine in Nochmall gefunden und das Set hat noch alles drinne und hatte 3€ gekostet 😅 ist sehr selten eine Polly Pocket Set zu finden (entweder unkomplett d.h ohne figuren oder fake.)
    Das was ich gefunden habe ist ein Chip n' Dale set :,)

    Also es ist ja wirklich nett dass sie extra bei dir vorbei gefahren ist aber die Preise sind schon recht gepfeffert. Vor allem im Vergleich zu dem Flohmarkt Preis für das cozy Haus letztens. Und 400€ für das Ei.. uiuiui da frag ich mich wer das bezahlt

    • @LauSkypainter
      @LauSkypainter  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ganz deiner Meinung. Es hat mich so krass überrascht, dass sie so utopische Preise angesetzt hatten, denn das komplette Cozy Cottage habe ich für 8!!! € von ihr bekommen... na ja hoffentlich bezahlt niemand diese Preise~ auch und erst Recht nicht für das Ei~ haha

      @LauSkypainter  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would not call them thieves. They were nice enough to come to my appartment and bring all this stuff and they bought all of it back in the 90s. So they can offer the prices they want. It's just ridiculus.... and they won't sell a lot of them if they keep these prices~ haha

      Ja.... ich hatte noch nie so viel Polly Pocket auf einem Haufen gesehen. Natürlich hatte ich wirklich gehofft da etwas mehr von abstauben zu können aber letztendlich bin ich froh, dass sie sich noch auf den Deal eingelassen haben und ich nicht komplett ohne wieder gehen musste...^^° DAS wäre schlimm gewesen~ haha

    Geh' einfach weiter auf den Flohmarkt. Ich glaube nicht dass sie diese Preise dort bekommt. Auch in der Bucht nicht. Irgendwann werden die Preise realistischer :-)

    • @LauSkypainter
      @LauSkypainter  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Klar, ich werd ja sehen, ob sie auf dem Flohmarkt ab und an wieder welche dabei hat oder ob sie wirklich alles dem angeblichen Händler verkauft hat. DER hat aber bestimmt nicht zu DIESEN Preisen bei ihr gekauft. Da kann ja kein Händler mit Profit machen >___
