Skip-It

Who could forget the infamous Skip-It commercial filmed at Ravinia elementary school in Illinois back in 1990? Interestingly, the location allowed this toy to become a nationwide success. The advertisement went on-air during children’s programming, and kids back then had to have it! Marketers certainly were able to captivate kids before and convince them that this toy offered a good time.

Today, you could still buy Skip-Its off the shelves, but it certainly lost its cool factor with children today considering the rise of handheld gadgets. However, collectors will look into buying your old Skip-It for at least $120 on eBay. It’s certainly not much, but it’s a decent return on investment for a toy you used to own back in the 90s.
