Very Curious?? All Read.........
I was wondering which Retired SU set is the most sought after or rare?
-MJ |
Not really sure. I had to get "On the Farm" and "Fresh Fruits" Gotta love Ebay!
|
good question will be curious to see
|
For the Love of Chocolate, and the boy scout one. I think Wolf is too.
|
My guess is Girl Power and Boy Power, the scout sets.
|
I seen the wolf set on the bay for 75 dollars, Yikes!
|
Girl power
|
took me forever to get Santa's Helpers....I finally got them about a year 1/2 ago...I love my elves!!!

Hey I sold that one a few years ago! I am not into selling my stamps anymore, I miss the elves! :) -MJ |
I would have to agree with the scouting ones. I want those bad.
|
How about the ret castle and dragon set? That's pretty sought after.

Try doing a search on ebay of completed auctions, then sort them by most expensive. The very top few are usually the big lots of sets, but then you start getting into the individual sets that have gone for BIG bucks. I know there's a cowboy one that people go nuts over...

my unmounted girl power went for $60
It is the only one I could figure out why I bought and didnt realize everyone wanted it so much till I sold it. |
Fancy Felines. I just had to have that set and I paid dearly for it! Of ocurse, I love hats and the cat holds a red hat beautifully. Someday it will pay for itself!! Also, Love of Chocolate.
|
Girl Power- LOL! I just used this set yesterday. Yup, it's quite coveted!

It HAS to be Sunny Season's Greetings. I see it asked for on many forums by demos and customers alike!

I've only been getting the su cattys for 4 issues now, so I wanted to know also!
|
I would love to get . . .
a really old set called Nativity Silhouettes but the rare times I have seen it, it's over $60. When SU did the re-release promotion in '03 I had all my fingers and toes crossed, but no luck.
I see ISO Girl Power, Scouts at Play, Meow Meow, Bow Wow and Sunny Season's Greetings almost daily. Also, there are a lot of ISO's for Crayon Kids and Crayon Alphabets. Too bad we can't see into the future and know which sets to hoard! Kind of like the Beanie Babies and Pokemon cards that took over our lives a while back! Mary Beth |
I've been looking fro Dreamcatcher. I only saw it once on e-bay and it went for $75!

I've seen "Wild, Wild, West" on ebay for over $100. It makes beautiful cowboy cards. Check out the gallery for jacksonbelle for a beautiful example of why this set is so "desired".

Here's some interesting info from theauctionrebel.com:
Below is a list of some Stampin� Up rubber stamp sets that regularly bring $50 or more (sometimes going into three figures) on eBay. The list contains the name of the set which can usually be found on the plastic clamshell case the come in along with the number of stamps originally included in each set.
|
I think this one has to be the most sought after.... I would also say Cowboy Christmas and Yee Haw.

Don't forget about Snow Globe. That's a big one. Maybe even Christmas Cardinal. Maybe Fairy Nice. Not saying they go for as much as some of the ones mentioned, but they are hot requests often.
I'll have to admit I don't get the Girl Power thing. My DD is 9, and is in her first year of Juniors (Girl Scouts). I was the cookie mom and wanted a set to make thank yous for the people that bought cookies from her. I thought the CTMH set was just as nice, and SO affordable... and acrylic. So I bought it and have been soooooo happy with it! Sometimes I think people get caught up in the "SU spirit" and forget the options. |
God Speed, definately...NEVER selling mine!! SU should come out with another "military" set...
|
Basket Full of Fun still goes very high too, never seen it below 40.00!
|
Don't forget the Irish Blessing Background stamp. I've seen it go for quite a bit.
|
The ones I loved and sought were "wild wild west" and "Kimono" I was lucky enough to be able to get both.
|
wow, I have the retired script bg (Irish Blessing) and also Bear Necessities listed on that list. Now I feel special! I still want for the Love of Chocolate though!
|
Boy, am I glad I hoarded a lot of the above. NEVER parting with Girl Power. Since a do GS I also search for vintage GS stuff on ebay and so I watch that set go for big bucks very often. Never did BS so it wasn't a necessity. I just got silhouette nativity this past year and paid just under $40. Also got Kimono- but I didn't pay too much-must have been a lucky bid. Mostly I get the things I still need from my wishlist when the retiring list comes out-to make sure I'm not saying-gee I wish. Not a demo so I use whatever strikes my fancy.
|
Subscribing--I have Girl Power--every once in awhile, I think about getting rid of it, then I need it for my troops! I also have the chicken wire background--I see that one requested a lot. I hardly use it, but always think I'll "need" it if I get rid of it!
|
Forgot to add---I regret not buying Equestrian Dreams and Tractor time---those are 2 sets I want but just can't make myself pay the big bucks for!
|
A more recent one that you can't seem to touch on ebay for under $70 is the Tall Tales alphabet...
Nancy |
I dunno but I am desperate to get my hands on Polar Express after seeing it on Anna Wright's blog.....those bears are so freaking cute!
|
As for me, my customers wish they would have ordered GODSPEED! So glad that I did!
I always wanted Seasons Sketches and have never gotten it :( |
Wow am I ever happy. I just recently bought Wolf from someone for $2 because she wanted to get rid of lots of sets.
