I was at a yardsale today, and someone was selling the 1983 Rainbow Brite cradle and highchair. I picked them up but Im not sure what they are worth. I cant find anything online. Anyone know? Or what would you have paid for them?
I figured if anyone would know it would most likely be you guys.
Awww you're so lucky to have found those! I've been looking for them both! I remember the high chair was ebay about a year ago, I don't know exactly how much it went for, but it was too much for me to afford.
I only paid $2 for them both! There was a lady selling all sorts of 70s and 80s toys, many still in the packages. I saw these and couldnt pass up the deal! But once I got them home I was told they have to go LoL. Plus my 2 year old has takin a liking to them, and she will end up breaking them. I plan on putting them on ebay so someone who will truely enjoy them can have them, any suggestions on starting or reserve price? and would you sell them as a set or seperate?
And also while looking online I realized its not the cradle, but the drop side crib. Many sites had it described as cradle until I saw an old add for it with the cradle, crib, and highchair.
First off, congrats on the nice find, even if it does have to go.
I'm not sure what to start it out. You really don't see those items on ebay so it's hard to tell. Shipping will take a good bit as well. I think I'd sell them separately though.

Your big problem if you put them on eBay is going to be the shipping because they are big and awkward and heavy, and you're going to have to pad them well. Really, your best bet would be to sell them locally or put them on eBay under local pickup only.
I once had picked up the little RB stove/fridge/dishwasher set at an antiques store. I sold them online to a woman who had promised me $43. It took me $60 to ship them (not counting another $23 for the shipping box which I didn't even ask to be paid for) and that was disassembled. Oh, and to add insult to injury, she never sent me one penny.
