General Info:
The Fisher-Price Collectors Club *usually* holds a sale once a year during
our annual convention, which takes place on the Saturday of the last full weekend in July. (Covid, of course, cancelled our 2020 sale).
To see when the next sale is, visit our
Toy Show and Sale Page. Our current location for the sale is
the Blazing Star Masonic Lodge, located at 645 Main Street in East Aurora NY, in a large multi-purpose room.
The sale takes place as part of
the East Aurora Chamber of Commerce's Street and Sidewalk Sale, which brings lots of people to town that weekend!
Information for Potential Vendors for 2023:
We are set! The date for the next sale is Saturday July 29th, 2023. The location is the
Blazing Star Masonic Lodge at 645 Main Street in East Aurora NY. Hours are 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
We have a limited number of tables and space, so
club members and returning vendors get first shot at renting a table, then new vendors after that.
Vendors can rent one table or two (depending on space).
Our sale's
chairperson Becky will start filling the vendor spots in May 2023. If you are interested in
selling your toys at the sale, the first step is to email her at rah4fp@aol.com to get on her list.
Then in May, she will go through the list of interested vendors and send contracts and current prices for
renting a table. You can also
email the club at fpclub@att.net for more information. There has been a lot of interest this
year in selling, so if you are a club member and want to sell, let us know soon so you can get on the list!

| What Our Shoppers Look For |
|
At the sale, most of our shoppers are looking for vintage Fisher-Price toys (yeah that
is pretty self-explanatory!).
Toys made before 1990 tend to be the most collectible, but there are some collectors for newer toys, too.
Far and Away, the top selling toys are the classic Little People sets
from the 1960's to 1989, especially parts and figures for those sets. Boxed sets and rare sets also tend to sell well.
Some people will pay top dollar for the "one piece they are missing" to complete their set! The other top seller are the wooden pull toys (pre-1970)
and the oldest toys made by Fisher-Price (1930's etc.). Collectors love 'em!
Other Fisher-Price toy lines that sellers have been known to bring are:
wind-up musical toys; Adventure People and Huskies (1970's-1980's); Chunkies (the 1990-1996 Little People); some newer
Little People toys (The post 1990 ones tend not be what our shoppers are looking for, but hey, you can try!); 1970's/1980's dollhouse sets; Toyfest replicas;
Fisher-Price factory and employee exclusive items; other Fisher-Price toys from the 1970's and 1980's; and
any collectible older toy in original packaging. Pretty much any older Fisher-Price toy has a potential collector out there somewhere!
Our vendors are also welcome to sell other lines of collectible toys - Weebles,
older Playskool, popular 1970's toys, etc. Most of our shoppers are looking for Fisher-Price and similarly-made toys,
which is something to keep in mind
when setting up a table to sell. Inventory changes every year depending on what the vendors are bringing to sell. Sometimes
Toyfest toys can be a tough sale, since there are so many out there and not much demand (but vendors are welcomed to try!).
See photos at our Toy Sale Page to view what sellers have
been selling in the past, and see if that appeals to you as a potential seller.
