BellaVita Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I was wondering if there are any dept 56 village collectors out their? I remember reading an article that lenox was filling for bankruptcy and they are part of their group or something like that. Also by any chance has anyone ever been to a Dept 56 warehouse sale? or know where to get really good (cheap) deals? I am a beginner in collecting and am obssessed with the halloween village.

Swampbaby Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) I was wondering if there are any dept 56 village collectors out their? I remember reading an article that lenox was filling for bankruptcy and they are part of their group or something like that. Also by any chance has anyone ever been to a Dept 56 warehouse sale? or know where to get really good (cheap) deals? I am a beginner in collecting and am obssessed with the halloween village.Warehouse sale from Dept 56 - I've never seen anything about one. So many of the shops who used to carry various - or all - of the villages are long gone. A lot of the buildings can be bought in very good shape for around 15% of the SRP. Dept 56 villages can be found on eBay plus google them. I quit buying several years ago bt can tell you to be VERY CAREFUL in reading descriptions of buildings, etc. New in box may mean one thing to you, but a very different thing to the seller. You can see a small part of my village when I last had it set up. It's Christmas In The City and I called it Village of Johns Depot. Join the group [email protected] That is about the best board for D56 collectors. Edited December 25, 2008 by Swampbaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawna queen Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have the snow village, my oldest daughter has the north pole, and my oher daughter just inherited dickens from grandma. We love it, I would NOT recommnd ebay as there are to many problems, tiny chips, flaws, no box, no cord, not the right piece and the list can go on and on.......

I agree, it can be a problem but I only had one problem and that was some small items getting shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
