I'm a collector of strollers and prams myself, heavily into Emmaljungas from the '80s and '90s, and even owning a new Silver Cross Kensington. Also have a few US-made Welsh and Hedstrom strollers from the late '60s/early '70s period. It's true the words "rare" and "antique" are about the most over(mis)used words on ebay, especially when it comes to strollers, and you need to be able to see through the writeup to know what you're actually considering buying. I just have to shake my head on some of the listings and the misleading way in which they are written. Plus, as you mentioned, the prices many times are WAY inflated and don't reflect the true value in the least bit. I hope these tips help potential pram and stroller buyers from making an expensive mistake with their purchase.
