We Sold a RARE Snuzzles! ***Revised***
We put an extremely hard to find YELLOW Snuzzles Elephant up for auction recently. I had searched all over the Internet and couldn’t find another yellow one anywhere. I did find that someone had been looking for one, but as luck would have it, the Want It post was too old and no longer available.
These Playskool stuffed animals and dolls are particularly prized by collectors. The soft bodies are made just like a child’s real blanket sleepers, and the sleepers even have the safety bumps on the bottom of the feet. The fabric is always a soft pastel blue, pink, and yellow plaid. We’ve gotten to where we can spot this material in a whole pile of toys at a sale! We try to see which one of us can spot such treasures first LOL!
We sometimes have people ask us about what’s involved in selling on the Internet. We really enjoy the search, as well as the photography and research, etc. It amazes us how often our friends listen to our stories about some of our sales, and they seem to think the money is just pouring in! We always caution them that not all of what we find earns us a big profit, and we warn them that there’s a lot of time involved in our hobby.
This Snuzzle is a perfect example of what I mean. I really thought it would sell for a very big price, but it didn’t (maybe I “jinxed” it talking about it here LOL).
Sure, I was disappointed, but that’s life. I just wouldn’t want to depend on what we do for our sole income. My hat’s off to those who do make their living on the net.
When all is said and done, we hope this wonderful plush animal helps someone have a very special Christmas!
Did you pay a reasonable price or just rip the person off ?
Thanks for commenting, Anonymous.
When we buy an item for resale and pay the asking price, I don’t consider it to be ripping anyone off. There’s been more than once that we bought something we thought would sell for a profit … and it didn’t. It’s all part of the normal process of buying and selling collectibles.
I never heard or seen a Snuzzles before. They are rather cute though. I must have missed some good toys in the early to mid 90s!
We rreceived an email today from someone asking if we had another one of these yellow Snuzzles elephants. I wish we did, but maybe one of you can help them out.
Please contact us, if you would be interested in selling one of these, and we’ll give your email address to the interested buyer.
Our first Snuzzles, nzmommy, was one we bought for our grandchildren for when they came to visit. We’ve sold every Snuzzles we’ve been able to find ever since then. They are definitely a very popular collectible stuffed animal series.
We have a Searching post for a Snuzzles bunny rabbit, so if you see one, we know someone who needs one desperately.
