ChickenBalls

Looking for new or second hand one with furniture if possible.
For Xmas present so should be in good condition or easily fixed up.

Does Dollshouse not mean anything to you?
Its not a real house I'm looking for.
Serious replies only please...;)

My boyfriend bought one on Ebay for his mother, but its in kit form, so its a big job making it up. Its starting to look great, but you need time to put it together! There's one in Argos too, not half as nice, but I think that's a kit too.
Afaik Meath Street do some that are made up, but they're more expensive.. There's one not as nice as the one we got that's over €400 (we spent less than €200). You can buy furniture, carpet, wall paper, light fittings etc. there or in Argos!

Yeah I saw the one in the Market on Meath Street - they where looking for 420 Euro for it! They say it was 1000 Euro. And you get 6-7 Accessory sets with it. I think it's alot myself thats why around 150 - 200 would be good.
Thanks for the info on argos I'll look it up.

Thanks I'll keep this one on my short list - I think it could do the job.
Let me know the price if you get it but from the web page it's 60 sterling so I reckon its 100 Euro or there abouts.

Found it (well my wife did:D )

Dolls House (CAT NO. 110212) €90
Doll Family (CAT NO. 110219 OR 110291) €15
Classic Basement (CAT NO. 110562) €75
Classic Attic (CAT NO. 110563) €52.50
Pet Set (CAT NO. 110292) €10.50
Furniture Sets (choice of 8) €15

The basic house will take 5 furniture sets, so I guess you're looking at:
House 90
Family 15
Furniture 15 (x5)
TOTAL = €180

If you want a fully built one with furniture and all its gonna be very pricey. Now this depends a lot on the type of quality you are looking for? Is this for a 10year old kid who is gonna be sticking there barbie doll in it? If so im sure you can pick up a plastic type thing at the large toy stores.
My mom is currently building a proper wooden one and even then its not cheap , and it takes a while.
