I went to a local baby and kid stuff swap meet this morning. I found a woman selling the modern house (http://www.kidsurplus.com/pmo3965.html)
for $5. Yes, FIVE DOLLARS!!! New. Her kids had opened the box, and a few pieces were missing (basketball and the hoop, the dog, one of the kids, and two fence railings) but it was otherwise in the original packaging and unmolested.

She had no idea what the sucker was worth, and I didn't try and educate her. :) I am now the happy owner of the modern house. If dd is very nice, I may let her play with it too. Kidding! She and I are both thrilled.

She's too young for the itsy bitsy pieces, so the flowers and a few other things are staying bagged up until she's older.

Well, I can't see the image, but kudos to you! I love Playmobil stuff, DD is always playing with the Noah's ark at the toy store. Good job!

And I had to think about it, but I then I remembered Ren and Stimpy ;)

SCORE! I've been shopping at www.kidsurplus.com and they have heaps of cheap Playmobil (ok, not as good a deal as you found, lol, but still!). I wish I had 'done' playmobil for my first two kids...I have a feeling my house will be full of it for my third kid!

What a great find for $5! Both DH and I love Playmobil and will invest in it for DD. Hopefully we will be able to score like you did!
