A recent visit to an antique store made me realize that Barbie dolls are actually collectible. The store I visited was called an antique mall, and it had two stories of inventory. My surprise findings were a bunch of Barbie dolls produced several decades ago. As shown in the pictures, the 1960’s Blonde Bubblecut Barbie is now sold for $190. The 1960s Brunette Bubblecut Barbie is now sold for $210.
According to the official Barbie website, in 1959 the most expensive Barbie doll was $5. The website does
not detail doll prices in the 1960s, let’s assume the price doubled from 1959,
which means the highest price in the 1960s was $10. So about 50 years later,
this $10 Barbie doll worth around $200.
If you have vintage Barbie
dolls or Barbie outfits, find out how much they worth now. Do not just throw
them away. Also, if you buy Barbie dolls now, you may be able to get some
profit after decades later, adding some side money to your retirement income.
How wonderful it is to
turn hobby into profit!
