I used to love my Pippa doll and had lots of outfits and accessories, plus a friend and the pony etc. When we cleared mum's house last year, there it all still was and here it still is, just behind me, waiting for me to decide what to do with it.

Well

I just had a look on e-bay to see if anyone might be interested - OMG !!! There are some really serious collectors out there - things are going like hot cakes for silly money!

am now going to take the time to clean it all up and then I'll be putting it on - probably in separate lots. I seem to be the only one who has got the pony boxed and with all the tack :-))

I would never have guessed that something like this could be so popular! and yet other things I've tried to sell on there, that I thought would be collector's items, haven't even attracted a bid at 99p!!

Did you have a Pippa doll too?! try and find it!!!

Hi Maz, I always had a Sindy doll (is that same era??). Anyway, sounds like you're going to do well with your doll. Boxed items are very much more collectible and worth more than those that are not so it seems.

Good luck, let us know how it goes....

Hope you make a bundle on Ebay, Maz. Will you come and visit me if you do?

Pippa must have been before my time Maz.
Yep, must be because you are much older than me.
