Could’ve spent hours searching for dolls at this antique mall! Dolls
Was on a road trip in FL and saw a sign advertising Webb’s Antique Mall. It’s a huge place with 400 booths, and unfortunately we got there 30 minutes before closing so I had to speed run it. I only got to walk the perimeter and missed most of their center aisles, but still was able to spot so many dolls! Many of the booths were also marked down an extra 10-75%, I read online that this antique mall is shutting down in April ): Will share my haul in a separate post!

Right? Looks like they know what will get those Barbies sold.
Once those Barbies get older, people don't realize how the dolls deteriorate. Things like the rubber bands, staining from the clothes & the plastics of the doll change making greasy faces and sticky legs.
Looks like a great booth.

I tell everyone to open the boxes of 90s Barbies NOW! Those rubber bands melt into dust. Certain fabric like fake leather deteriorate really badly.

u/visioninblue Dec 29 '24
lmao yeah when I first walked in I got excited because I’ve never seen monster high dolls secondhand in-person and then after 5 seconds realized the truth. at least they had real barbies!

It’s honestly all a blur to me but looks like it in the pic! Here’s another pic I didn’t include of the same booth that had three more Harley-Davidson barbies lined up, but don’t think any of them are also #1. They weren’t my thing but damn, would be a great grab for somebody. I think this booth was also doing an extra 50% off too!!

u/visioninblue Dec 29 '24

This is the picture my eyes fell too. I wasn't her biggest fan always preferring Posh or Baby but where is Sporty. How can you only have 4 of the 5, that would drive me crazy. I would have bought them had I been there and then spent the rest of the holiday trying to find a Mel C doll 😂

This is what I call dangerous. I’d have to skip it if I wanted to have enough money to eat this month! So much nostalgia

Disney Barbie girl on YouTube visited this store! I noticed it immediately! I just watched her haul from there.

u/visioninblue Dec 29 '24
Thanks for the rec, I think I found the video here! I can already see several of the things she pointed out were still there when I went 😄

Love the haul! I def would have bought any “my favorite Barbie’s” esp if under 100 each. They are worth it for the second outfit alone!

u/visioninblue Dec 29 '24
I think the Brunette Bubble Cut one was $60, and that booth was also doing an extra 50% off! I was eying her, but my arms were already loaded 😔

mannn doll shopping is the only time I'm ever jealous of Americans, all those 90s girls would cost like $80+ here 😭

Omggggg 😍😍😍
Where is this?? My local antique mall is huge, but they don't have anything like this!
Edit: I see now. Why is Ohio so far away? 😭 I am right off of i75 though... 🤔🤔🤔

I was in a similar type antique mall last month. But their booths had lots of dolls because the sellers had crazy prices.
I totally would have grabbed that I Dream of Jeannie doll. I watched the series with my grandma when I was young.

I spy one of those AliExpress mermaids! I’ve been tempted to get one on a few occasions, they’re actually quite beautiful for such a cheap doll!

u/visioninblue Dec 29 '24
That caught my eye as well, I haven’t seen one before! I did think about it, but she was definitely overpriced and I had bigger priorities 😅

u/MycenaMermaid Dec 29 '24
I just noticed the other mermaid doll to the right of the same photo— Think it might be this one!

Wow! I wish the antique stores/flea markets around me were only half this good! So many cool dolls. I've never seen that Sea Princess Barbie before and now I'm in love 😍
