Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for vintage toys due to its global reach; Etsy is also an excellent option for 'vintage' aesthetic items; Facebook Marketplace for a quick local sale to avoid shipping.
Selling Tips
Clean the item with a soft toothbrush and mild soap to remove grime from the plastic rivets. Use keywords like 'Vintage Fisher Price', 'Adventure People', 'Wilderness Patrol', and '1975'. Mention that it is a 'survivor' piece. Ship in a box, not a poly mailer, to avoid cracking the vintage plastic.
