I’d keep all transactions on eBay in case something goes wrong with the deal or the item, and at the very least, use a credit card.

I agree with @buyersellerfinder.  They have a retail store and phone number is listed so easy to call them.

The only thing I can see is that their website is out of date, still has covid information up (two people in store, face masks, etc.) so their listings may be long out of date.  But if they still have the set after all this time, they may be willing to negotiate.

Easy peezy....

 

I have no association or knowledge about this vendor.

 

I neither recommend them or not recommend them.

 

Do your due diligence.

 

But here appears to be what you are looking for and it's available.

Cool!  Be interesting to know if @windsor.castle is "desperate" enough to pay $600 for the set.

I would call them on the phone and haggle.

 

I don't know what it is worth.

 

But it is missing some items and I would ask you what the complete set is worth - if you filled it out.

 

Don't forget that the vendor is a brick and mortar business and like everybody needs cash flow.

This is a forum for eBay procedural issues. Ebay has no 'items wanted' function. You need to set up a saved search. Search for the item using the search box or Advanced Search. When you get the results list, click the heart icon to save the search and get emails when new items are listed.

 

The cardboard structures from Barbie and Tressy are very hard to find in even acceptable condition. I've found a plethora of vintage Barbie sales groups on Facebook. You might want to see if there are comparable Tressy groups. 

 

And I still have my childhood Tressy.
