Selling a dolls house in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Working out what yours is worth

Photograph every room and the exterior
Measure it and be honest about how it travels

Getting it ready

Test any lighting. Wired dolls houses with working lights command a premium, and non-working ones need saying.
Sort the furniture by room and count it, then decide whether you are selling the house with or without it.

Put in the description

What furniture, figures and accessories are included, counted
Whether it has working lights, and the material and structural condition

Material, scale and contents: “Wooden Dolls House, 1:12 Scale, Furnished, 5 Rooms”. Scale is a genuine collector search because furniture has to match, and the words furnished or empty save a great deal of correspondence. Name the maker if there is one — Lundby and Sylvanian are searched directly.

Strongly seasonal, peaking from October to Christmas. A furnished wooden house listed in November sells quickly; the same house in March can sit for a month.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $162 a buyer pays is the $162 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a dolls house in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Is the furniture included?

State it in the title as well as the description. It is the single most misunderstood point on these listings, and it changes the price by a wide margin.

Does the furniture need to be included?

If you advertise it as furnished, yes, and photograph the contents. Furniture is often worth a large share of the total.

How do you transport a dolls house?

Carefully and usually by car — most sell as local collection because facades and roofs damage easily in transit.
