Vintage Fisher Price Play Family #990 A-Frame House only VG-VG+ (Rough Room) (J)
Vintage Fisher Price Play Family #990 A-Frame only VG-VG+ (Rough) (J) (More photos below)

Welcome to my ROUGH ROOM.  Here you will find toys that don't meet my exacting standards of VG+ and above.  I don't have the heart to throw them out since they still have a lot of play value left.  Items in my ROUGH ROOM are discounted from what I normally charge for the same item.  To keep the prices down, I do not spend any time Q-tip cleaning these items.  Therefore, it is up to the buyer to clean them on receipt.  I would consider this set to be in VG-VG+ condition.

 

The only imperfections I can discern are:

 

1.  Some soiling, intermittent hair-line creasing, and edge wear on the interior FP logo;  some of the soiling might come off with cleaning;

2.  Some moderate soiling on the interior and exterior plastic surfaces; this should be alleviated when cleaned; 

3.  Some mild rubbing on the plastic window adjacent to the bell; this is a common occurrence in these sets; and

4.  The driveway that accompanies this base is missing.

 

Positives include:

1.  Both hinges are fully intact;

2.  The bell is shiny, bright, and still rings merrily;

3.  All of the aqua plastic surfaces have retained their original coloration; there's no fading here;  all of the plastic surfaces match in color; and

4.  The sliding glass doors work as designed.

 

This Vintage Fisher Price Little People play set is NOT included in the recent Fisher Price recall of toys manufactured in China. This play set was manufactured in the good ole' U.S.A. in 1974-76!!!! It's 46 years young and still exemplifies Fisher Price's reputation for imaginative, durable toys. Why take a chance on buying a new toy that may contain unacceptable levels of lead or cadium in them when you can purchase a CLASSIC toy like this that was produced with pride and integrity in the U.S.A.? 

 

This would be a great play base for a collector to give to a grandchild to play with while at Grandma's house.  That way, Grandma's collector-quality base could be preserved and another generation of children would be able to explore these classic toys.

 

This base weighs approximately 4 1/2- 5 lbs. UNWRAPPED.  My location is Lafayette, IN 47905.

PayPal is the preferred manner of payment. All payments are due within 5 business days of the listing's conclusion.

I also accept bank-issued Cashier's Checks and Postal Money Orders. Due to my bank's policies, I am unable to ship your item until these forms of payment clear my bank (usually within 3 business days). Please contact me if you would like to pay via a Cashier's Check or a Postal Money Order.



The price listed is for the item itself. The total amount due will be the purchase price of the item + the ACTUAL shipping cost to deliver your item to you. All shipping costs or extra fees (in the case of Canadian shipments) are the responsibility of the buyer. I will do everything in my power to find you the cheapest shipping rate—-whether it’s the USPS (First Class or Priority) or Fed Ex.  I DO NOT PAD MY SHIPPING COSTS—-NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! I SHIP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CLEARED PAYMENT.

I primarily utilize Fed Ex Home Delivery for items exceeding 5 lbs. in weight, measuring greater than 12 inches in any dimension, or traveling longer distances. I’ve been finding Fed Ex has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS and UPS Ground. FYI, another benefit of using either Fed Ex or UPS is that their quote includes up to $100 worth of FREE insurance. Additional amounts of insurance may be purchased for a nominal fee (that is much less than the USPS). Fed Ex also provides automated tracking updates re: your parcel’s whereabouts directly to your personal e-mail account.

In order to ship Fed Ex, I MUST have a residential or work place address, NOT a P.O. Box number, as well as a home or cell phone. Otherwise, they will not accept the shipping paperwork or transport your item.

Packages traveling to Alaska or Hawaii will be shipped Parcel Post via the USPS. Insurance and delivery confirmation are required.

I’m more than willing to combine multiple purchases into one box whenever it is safe to do so to decrease your shipping costs. PLEASE wait to check out until I can combine your purchases on ONE INVOICE and can calculate their combined shipping rate via Fed Ex. If you pay for these items separately, I get charged multiple transaction fees by PayPal plus you get over-charged on your shipping. Of course, I will refund you any amount over $1.00 that you've overpaid on shipping. However, it's easier on both of us if you wait until I can send you the correct amount.

I’m more than happy to ship selected play sets to Canada. Remember that shipping to Canada can be quite expensive so please contact me for a shipping quote before you purchase an item. I will attempt to find the cheapest shipping rate possible. Canadian customers will be responsible for any brokerage fees, Custom’s duties, or VAT’s imposed by your government. I am not responsible for these charges. Insurance is required for all international shipments.

Last, but not least, I offer a 10% discount for orders totaling $125.00 or more.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED. I have attempted to bring any noted "imperfections" to your attention prior to your purchasing the item. However, I'm only human. If I have missed something or you have a problem with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving feedback.

Customer satisfaction is #1 for me. I try to provide outstanding service, high quality merchandise, and secure and expedient shipping.

Feedback is important and I will be happy to leave you feedback once I know everything has arrived safely and that you are pleased with your purchase. Leaving me feedback helps me gauge how well I'm doing and also serves the Bonanza community by directing them to sellers who proffer outstanding merchandise and service.
