There is no mathematical formula set to assess how much a vintage Hello Kitty item is worth (like 3x the original price, original price plus 10% each year since released year, etc.). And with the extreme differences in pricing — from a free bracelet given to me from one of my former co-workers to a $400 Vintage 1990 Sanrio Hello Kitty Night Luminous Clock, it is quite difficult to put a value on what vintage Hello Kitty products are really worth.
I even saw someone post an image on Flickr listing $8 for one of those trinkets Sanrio used to give away as a free promotional item. But hey, if you have the bucks, I’m sure you will buy it.
Anyway, my whole point is… Pricilla is selling her old Hello Kitty bag (which looks very cute) on eBay. So, I guess I will keep a close eye on this to see how much it sells for… And just in case I want to bid on it.

I hope you do not mind I look around.
I am an eBay seller myself and I learn often hard way about value of estate item. The problem is people assume something is vintage therefore it something of greater value. That is not always the case. Often supply and demand is the determination of value. Like many collectables Sanrio might had mad hundreds of the same item which will evenly have an downward effect in price, Also the price is listed on eBay can not be used to determine value. People tend to over value items. I was looking at one Hello Kitty seller whose items were way over valued; I found one selling the same plush for 90% less.
