80's Toy PC: SeaWees pet dog Dubloon

[Squirrelypaws]

Okay, he's been ID'd as a SeaWees pet; Dubloon Dog.

Now that I know what he is, does anybody have any ideas as to whether he'd be worth listing for sale, either on eBay or here on the Arena? He's got some paint wear, most notably on his nose, and it looks like a cat took a little nibble on his tail (not bad, just some little holes).

If he is worth selling, what might be a good asking price for him?

I found this little "merpuppy" at a thrift shop, and I'm curious as to what he might be.

He's about 2 inches tall, maybe two-and-a-half. Marked on the back "CP.G. 1981 H.K."

He kinda reminds me of the vintage Littlest Pet Shop toys, with those eyes, but the date and markings don't fit with LPS, do they?

With that tail, he might go with the Seawees mermaid dolls? I've seen them before, but I don't know if they had pets.

edit: Yep! I looked it up, he's a seawees dog. His name is Dubloon Dog, and he came with a TropiGals Seawee named Flora.

Thanks, Skitterbug. ^_^ I just ran a search too, and ID'd him a few minutes after I posted. No idea why it didn't occur to me to search before posting.

No idea on a price, but I'll bump to see if you can get info.

They are pretty popular internationally in my experience.  The ones I have sold have been to collectors.  For the dog I'd say $6-12 range.

I love the Sea Wees pets so cute!!

I collected, sold, and traded Sea Wees for years. I sold a bunch of mine some time back, and still watch the auctions pretty regularly-- to torture myself, I guess lol. I plan to recollect some of them when I'm able, but I did keep the replacements for my childhood set and that of my friend!

Values for all but the rare Sea Wees are very dependent on condition.
Chew marks are one of the bigger condition issues. This one would probably sell for around $4-5, with $10 at the very upper end, on Ebay. Unless someone really wants one or doesn't know the value, he's unlikely to sell if priced above $6. If you start the auction at $3 or less with cheap 1st class shipping, he'll Probably sell in a 5 or 7 day auction; listed for more, it might not sell until a couple relistings (or more) and probably a couple price drops later. Many people like buying Sea Wees in lots to save on shipping, so selling one singly is also a challenge unless it's rare or in near-mint condition.

For trade/sale value off Ebay, I think $2-5 would be fair for both people. There are quite a few Sea Wees collectors in the community, so listing him here for sale or trade would be a good place to start. Wherever you decide to sell or trade, something good to know is that most collectors really want Every detail about the condition, so a thorough description and lots of pics might save you a lot of questions or a return
