Where to buy a Caboodles organiser, new or from the 90s
Caboodles never actually went away, which surprises people who assume the brand died with the decade. On 31 August 2026 there were 24 new listings at conventional US retailers and 212 resale listings, and the two markets want different things from you.
New: two sellers, a narrow range
That is the entire new-Caboodles market we can verify in US affiliate feeds today: 24 listings from 2 retailers, $2.99 to $49.19. If you want a specific colourway you are going to the resale market whether you like it or not.

Resale: 212 listings, and what drives the price
| Model line | Listings | Cheapest | Median | Dearest |

| Pretty in Petite | 5 | $9.99 | $11.39 | $38 |
| Metro Moxie | 6 | $2.99 | $4.99 | $6.99 |

Model name is doing most of the work in that table. The named 1990s lines — On The Go Girl above all — carry a premium that generic “makeup case” listings of the same mould do not, because the name is what buyers search. A seller who does not know the model name usually prices below the market.
Last verified 31 August 2026 against 236 Caboodles listings in the CJ product feed (US advertisers): 24 new at conventional retail, 212 resale. Overall median $20. Prices move; read them as the market on that date, not a promise. Peer-to-peer marketplace asks of $500 or more are excluded as seller placeholders, as are repdigit asks such as $1,234 and $9,999 wherever they appear; retailer prices are used as published.
What to check before you pay a vintage premium
- Latch and hinge. These are the failure points on a 30-year-old polypropylene case, and neither is repairable in any satisfying way.
- Tray arms. The cantilever arms crack at the pivot. Ask for a photo with the lid open and the trays extended.
- Mirror. Often desilvered or missing; sellers rarely mention it.
- The underside. Moulded logo and model number. “Caboodles of California” is the earliest marking.
