Pregnant Barbie - Really?
The pregnant Barbie doll that was released by Mattel has created some controversy over the years. Where do you stand on the issue? Are you one of the folks that thinks it is bad to expose kids to such stuff at a young age or do you feel that it is normal to explain this type of activities to your children? Well the controversy forced Mattel to pull pregnant Barbie from the shelves.
Some people complained that the doll encouraged young children to get pregnant. Others thought the doll was great for educating their children in the miracle of life. It actually is not Barbie that is pregnant at all. The doll is her friend Midge Hadley and she already has a kid and a husband. She actually has a magnetic belly that is removable and stores the baby inside. Don't you wish all pregnancies are that easy? Midge still looked kind of young to have a child and a second on the way. I think this is one reason that parents thought that the doll encouraged pregnancy at a young age.
Over the years there have been two types of pregnant Barbie dolls produced. The happy family Midge pregnant Barbie and the Barbie's friend Midge with pregnant tummy. You can still find these pregnat barbie dolls at Amazon or eBay usually being sold by colectors. They are still sought after by collectors and regular consumers that are either looking to add them to their Barbie collection or use them as an educational toy.

is treasure hunters roadshow a rip off?
my wife and i took some old barbie dolls that she had as a little girl , all 1961 barbies, 1 barbie in large vinyl barbie case with metal stand , 1 ken with felt hair , and 1 midge in original box ,also had loads of clothing and accessories for all dolls. they asked what we wanted to sell them for and i replied for them to tell me what they were worth. well after looking on their computer for around 5 minutes they offered $25.00 for the whole mess. I TURNED THEM DOWN! we went to the book store to look up what some of the stuff was worth ,and the book said at the minimum we had $500.00 worth of things. heck one straw hat ( we have 2 ) is worth $30.00 to $40.00 alone, pair of shoes( 5 sets) $10.00 to $15.00 a set. i think they were trying to get over on my wife and me. what do you say?
Well, if they were out of the boxes, they lose something like 80% of their value. In order to get top dollar dolls have to be never removed from box (NRFB). The best way to value Barbie dolls is to look on ebay for what others are paying for that doll. It's a matter of supply and demand. If there are tons of those dolls on the market, they won't be very valuable! If Ithere are only a few on the market and a collector happens to be missing thatone doll, that doll would therefore become more valuable.
In order to look them up on ebay, you need to identify them first. You should go to the Barbie Collector website and find a certified Barbie retailer near you, then take the dolls into them to have them identified, and maybe even appraised. Sometimes Barbie retailers sell secondary market items, you could ask whether they would be interested in selling your dolls for you, of course you would have to pay them a percentage.
Good luck!
