I am looking around to buy a paradise estate,
but I am just wondering how much should I expect to pay for one, without accessories!
I'm more interested in owning just the shell, and then collecting the bits inside as I go. :)
Thanks!
-
I had mine for €75 (thats, like, $100ish). Almost complete.
I think a complete one goes around $90-125. Could vary alot. Not sure about the house without asseccoiries though.
-
I bought mine for 110 £ plus loads of ponies and magazines and bits...
and there was one at ponycon last year... but dont remember how much that went for...
I have two empty (shell) bits with my sales items - if you can gather the rest together lol.

That could be a way to do it sparkler!
How easy would it be to come buy the other 3 bits rather than buying a whole one?
:)

It has certainly dropped in price this set...I think I paid $200-220 for mine complete about 3 years ago. Oh and had it shipped from Canada [ouch!]
I think part of what drops is selling price is shipping - it tends to be crazy to post it anywhere.
In the current climate I would have said with every single piece even the most illusive little items $150-175 complete...therefore you need to scale down from there depending on how much of the playset is there...probably $50 for an empty shell with roofs but no accessories, no furniture and only roofs and doors.
It sounds like a fun project to piece one together over time...you should manage most of the furniture easy enough - however the cutlery and the flowers for around the pool will drive you crazy! Lol...good luck!
-
Thankyou!
Yeah I'd really like it to be an on-going project for me, it's just finding the shell first!
-
i gave 125 dollars for mine, it has almost all the pieces,the manual and the plastic is in perfect shape
-
Mine was £16 with a few bits and pieces. I haven't been working too hard to complete it, but I don't have space to display it so keep it on top of the wardrobe.
It's the shipping that knocks the price down I think.

Wow...can I come pony shopping with you?!

Mine was £50 I think? Came with a few bits but I'm slowly completing it. I do have a spare pool and patio bit (where the pool sits in) Pool doesn't have the board, and is all a bit faded, but let me know if you're interested.
-
I tried to win one on here a few months back, I bid £75 ( about $130) and didnt win it ;)
I swear it's SO much harder to find it in the UK, it's usually US sellers who have them.
-
well i happen to have several bits from PE on ebay right now! :cheer:
just click on my sig ;)
-
I got mine for $75 at a garage sale last year, but I think they go for around $100. Hope that helps! Good luck, it's really a fabulous set :)
-
The latest one I bought, last year, was about 90% complete, in very good condition, for $125 + $50 shipping.
Hope that helps!
-
I got mine for 45€, with original instructions, having most of the accessories but missing all the small pieces and the garden furniture. Its a bit yellowed too. Hope that helps :)
-
Thanks everyone,
I think I'll do it bit by bit once I've found the playset shell for myself :)
-
holy moley!! i was sure surprised to see the end prices on some of these PE pieces!!! :blink:
kitchen sink $23
2 bottles $23
2 plates $23
2 glasses $41
and the craziest one of alll...
1 fork $77 :dropjaw:
as the seller i gotta say i aint complainin!! :woot:
and i sure am glad i dont collect playsets lolol!! :nuts:
-
Congrats to you! I was bidding on some, but those prices were a bit high. And all of them skyrocketed in the very last second!
-
Congrats Rel...as a buyer I understand that though...if I needed one last fork to complete my PE I would bid high as well!
*patting self on back* however for the $200-odd I dropped on my complete one...that doesnt look as crazy as this thread was making me feel lol!
-
There was one in a knackered box on ebay UK the other day for collection only. It went for about £25 and I'm really really kicking myself for not bidding that little bit extra to win it.
Not like I have the room for it at all... ponies have taken over every room in my house through some means or another.
