Decisions, decisions

If you read my previous post you know this is about the Hina Dolls we have up for trade. Below is the list of items we will choose from. I have bolded the items I like the most. I have a few days to decide. I will get a photo of the item we decide on before we are final on this. I am going to need to put my thinking cap on here. If anyone out there has any insights or thoughts, please speak up. Thanks so much! ~Heather xoxo

Anyway, we want to go through some of our stuff downstairs and make a list for you of possible trades. But to give you an idea, here are some things that come to my mind:
Jewelry: several pieces of sterling silver from Mexico, including a huge modern ring studded with cabachon gemstones (we used to perform on cruise ships and I have tons of Mexican jewelry and clothing!)
Watches--a men's like-new Luxe with a Swiss movement--sells for $149 on eBay, and a nice Disney Fantasia limited ed. gold tone Lorus watch
A nice violin, full size, great quality
All kinds of collectibles, old and new, such as three antique cigarette holders--including two cloisonne and one ivory, probably from the 1930s-1950s, and loads of other vintage cool items, big and small!
If you're a Fawlty Towers TV show fan, (from the BBC), a framed display piece commemorating the show, autographed by John Cleese
Appliances, sports equipment----we have to go through our storage unit this weekend!
Does any of this sound interesting? Please let me know--and lots more to follow! Also let me know if you're looking for something (other than a bus!) because maybe we have it!
I love and adore those Hina dolls, and I really, truly want them sitting here with my antique bears and other Hina dolls. So I do hope we can make a deal....
Thanks Heather--this is fun!

Heather, have you ever had the dolls appraised? Might be a good idea so you know how much they are worth.
