I have a 1970 Dressy Bessy and 1970 Dapper Dan in excellent condition. I would love to sell them. Any ideas?

eBay is still the best venue for vintage items. Take several pictures and write a very good detailed description and I’m sure that they will sell quite fast. Good luck!

Great post! I am trying to find a mint condition Dressy Bessy (in box if possible) – one of the original large 3 button versions made around 1970 / 1971. My wife had one here in our house that she had grown up with, and somehow it has gone missing. We’ve searched every nook and cranny in the house, and Bessy is gone. My wife is so sad. I would like to find her a new one – minty fresh if possible. If anyone has a lead on one, please let me know!

Hello!
The best way to find a vintage Dressy Bessy MIP ( mint in box ), is to search eBay, Google, and other smaller on-line venues daily or at least weekly.
I do not currently have any Dressy Bessys in stock in any condition. Happy Hunting!
