The first and most obvious place to begin your hunt for vintage Barbie doll houses would be the online auction site eBay at www.ebay.com - but be careful before you place a bid! Research what particular house you're interested in and what price range it is currently being sold at. There's nothing worse than paying more than you need to for anything and that includes vintage Barbie doll houses!
Start your search first and foremost at www.nancysdreamhouse.com - a great website for those interested in collecting Barbie dolls and an invaluable resource for those seeking vintage Barbie doll houses! Here you can find not only price lists for many vintage Barbie doll houses but also for a variety of other items as well as a link to a web ring titled "The Ring of Vintage Barbie Dealers". A web ring is a group of businesses connected by a common link and can save you a lot of time and trouble!
Through this link you can also visit www.barbarapeterson.com and see another dealer who has a wonderful assortment of vintage Barbie doll houses along with the cars and clothing of one of America's most beloved toys.
If you're in Canada there's www.alldolledup.ca - this site not only has a wide assortment of Barbie dolls and accessories it also includes a bulletin board where you can post your questions and receive answers from other collectors. This site does not post vintage Barbie doll houses specifically, but has furniture in stock that many collectors may be interested in if you manage to purchase a vintage Barbie doll house that may be missing a few items.
By visiting various websites you can gather more information about what you should be looking for and at what price - many vintage Barbie doll houses may not be complete in having all the furniture and accessories, so you may be able to get it at a lower price but then have to hunt down the actual furniture or duplicates. Then if you do have to access a large online auction site such as eBay you should have a good idea of what to pay and not have to worry about being taken advantage of for your hobby.
Many women have fond memories of playing with their Barbie dolls and of having adventures in doll houses that would go on forever. Now those looking to recreate these memories can buy vintage Barbie doll houses and bring those good times back to life if only in a display case. Why not start looking for a special place for your vintage Barbie doll house and start collecting!
