I have 2 of these in great condition, and was wanting to sell them. I cant find them ANYWHERE online. The only place I found them and it was just 1. It was just the read along book and it was going for $599.99!!! I had my 2 looked over and was told by the "expert record man" that they are worth $500.00 apeice at the least!! How do I sell them, or where can I do it. Also, has anyone else seen them go for this much? I haven't found them at all online. I still have not been to bed yet, Im still searching online as to why I cant find these anywhere! Please help me.
Thank you all!!

I was thinking these story books with the records could be made into YouTube videos, but do what you will.

It's here on BlueBuddies in the "Smurf Read-Alongs" section. It was super easy to find, you just type "A Winter's Smurf" into the search box at the bottom of this page.

That would be AWESOME if one of the smurf record books were made into a video!

There are 6 different Smurf Read Along Books that came out in the 1980s. The company "Starland Records" released the first 4 books in 1983. The smurfy Starland Read-Along Books came in your choice of Book & Record or Audio Cassette Sets.
Then in 1984, the company "Kid Stuff" released two Read-Along Books (Smurfing in the Air & Smurf's Daydream) as a Book & Record Set. Later on in 1986, they released them as Book & Cassette Tapes.

LIST OF SMURF READ ALONG BOOKS
By Starland (released in 1983):
* PTV S-2003 A Winter's Smurf * PTV S-2004 The Smurf Champion * PTV S-2005 There's a Smurf in My Soup * PTV S-2006 The Smurf-Eating Bird
By Kid Stuff Records & Tapes:
Record-Books (released in 1984) * DBR 264 Smurfing in the Air * DBR 265 Smurf's Daydream
Cassette-Books (released in 1986) * DBC 2264 Smurfing in the Air * DBC 2265 Smurf's Daydream
All of the Smurfs Read-Along Books originally came in sealed plastic wrap. In terms of value, books that are still in the original sealed wrapping are worth the most. Many times the books are missing the accompanying record or cassette tape which decreases the value. Sometimes there will be writing on the inside of the books (ie. where kids would write their names - like "this book belongs to __" or just little scribbles here and there). Condition is always an important factor when valuing an item.
The "expert record man" you spoke with has valued your Read-Along Album at a very high price, perhaps you can sell it to him? Otherwise you might try selling on Amazon or an auction site like Ebay. You will probably not get $500 for it though. The high-end prices I have seen your book sell for over the last couple of years is about $75 - $35 depending on condition. That's not to say you might not get a higher price if you find the right buyer! Good Luck!
Hope this helps!
