Please help me find my doll house- repost

[u/RelevantPapaya394]

​

I am making another desperate plea to find my dollhouse which was sold without my consent in the Geelong or Port Arlington areas. Please let me know if you have any information

These are the only photos I have.

i have posted this befpre but did not provide the context as I didn’t really want to go there, but here it is. It's like a soap opera, even i can't believe it*

The context here is unfortunately very complex.

This dollhouse was being held by my mother in Portarlington. I live about 5-6 hours away and due to the size of my place, having a young child etc, I wasn't able to have it. But throughout multiple conversations etc I have made it very clear that I wanted to keep it as it is soon special to me, and that I will organise a courier or someone to help me transport it once I had the room.

Without going into too much family drama- she started blaming myself and my younger siblings about maintaining our older sibling's (who is no contact with mother) boundaries and not sharing personal information formation etc. She actually turned quite aggressive over it. After many therapy sessions, posts on here etc, it seems I was right for doing what I did and that she's actually a huge narcissist.

But I digress,

I still maintained my intentions to collect the dollhouse.

Once I was finally able to, I told her I was going to organise everything etc to which she told me that she sold it to a "more deserving family" for $30.

Of course I was devastated.

I have posted on as many Geelong and surrounding groups and had one reply, from the apparent buyer. It was an anonymous poster who straight away became very aggressive after I asked if I could message them privately (to minimise public interaction) to ask if I may please make a decent offer or ask for better photos etc. They refused and got quite nasty, with multiple comments about how my mother was soo wonderful to them and that we are horrible children etc and the abuse was so damn hurtful. I tried my best to keep face because no matter how much she hurt me, I dont sink that low.

I was getting alot of other comments from public profiles on my side and trying to stick up for me, then I was getting horrible comments on my profile from my mother and it was just a whirlwind.

Then we started noticing weird trends- the way the "buyer" spoke, words and how they were said sounded like her.. sibling were mentioned, all this stuff that makes me think it was either her or her cousin who was the "buyer".

Then recently I had another lady come to me saying that her daughter bought the dollhouse and wants to sell it back. Turned out it was a scam

Im still not giving up though.

I have been. I'm posting it wherever I can.

Is it possible she didn’t sell it at all? But said she did just to hurt you? Potentially holding on to it to use as bait in future? I’m so sorry this has happened to you. In difficult childhood upbringings, these nostalgic pieces represent such an escape for you.

I honestly don't know. Anything is possible with her.
