It becomes immediately apparent when you’re shopping for a Barbie Picnic Set, the supply of a Barbie Picnic Set is scarce.  As hard as it is to believe, that to be able to buy a Barbie Picnic Set requires you to look at sites that sell collectibles and pay some very high prices because of of its value.  Some will buy Barbie Picnic Sets purely to collect them as a vintage item.  Others want a set to complement their current collection of Barbie dolls and to create a picnic scenario.

When it comes to collectibles, eBay remains the premiere site to find items that are rare. At eBay.com, there are approximately 50 Barbie Picnic items that are currently up for bid or for sale at the given price.  Some of the items date back to 1959 when the first Barbie appeared on the market.  Depending on demand, some Barbie Picnic Sets can still be found at pretty reasonable prices.  Some Barbie Picnic Sets can fetch over $300.00 while others can be found well below $100.00.

There are a couple of things you should keep in mind when looking for a Barbie Picnic Set on eBay.  A “Barbie Picnic Set” as it’s called is not a generic name for one particular type of Barbie set.  The picnic set may include a Barbie doll wearing a casual picnic wear outfit with no picnic basket or supplies.  You may get the doll with a few picnic items, or you may get the picnic supplies with no doll or outfits.  If your daughter already has a Barbie doll, then you may just want to focus on buying a set that includes a picnic basket and one that includes the outfit.  On eBay, you can find just a picnic basket with the amenities to complement the doll your daughter may already have.

One Barbie Picnic Set that comes close to a real picnic basket with the amenities is the Barbie Picnic Basket & China Set.  This set is perfect for creating a realistic looking picnic in a park.  You will find amenities in the set that are identical to a real picnic basket set.  That set sells for $29.99 if you want to do a buy-it-now and not bid for it.   As far as price and finding an actual Barbie Picnic Set that includes a basket with amernities, eBay is the best source to look.
