Off Topic / Re: PC on Sweet Secret vintage toy

I've collected them off and on and watch the auctions sometimes-- I'm no expert on them, but here's what I've observed. The Play Make-up ones don't seem to be all that sought after, which I think is because they don't have a jewel. I also wonder if the ones with actual make-up weren't as commonly owned by children because some parents didn't want their kids making a mess  :lol:

That said, animal Sweet Secrets, in general, are well-liked and seem to sell faster and for more than the doll type. I don't often see any type of loose Sweet Secrets sell for more than $12, with the average being $3-6 each. I don't know if the place it was made matters; the line was all over the place, in a number of respects, so it could be a variation-- you may want to look into that further before taking my advice on pricing, but the bear looks pretty standard and actually just like the one on the GOTD page; whoever wrote up that information seems very familiar with the line and I think would have mentioned if there was anything important about the one pictured or variations. I'd at least mention the location in the auction, just in case it matters to someone. But I'm pretty sure it won't matter for pricing.

Because it's a small collecting community, with many collectors are looking for just a few that they owned or working on completing collections with favorites at the top of the list, here's what I'd do: I'd list it as a BIN with a longer listing time period, such as 7, 10, or 30 days (maybe start with 7 to see if it sells-- and if not, relist for 30) with a price of $8-12. You could also list it as a 7 day auction/BIN starting at maybe $6 auction with the higher BIN. Those methods seem to work well, from what I've seen. Good luck :) I'm sure someone will want that cute little bear!


Kaoskat I see that you see me! You have x-ray internet eyes lol
