I've never seen an ad for Silver Zinger Agnes or Optic Verve or some other so called Grail dolls, but I guess they are sold at similar prices :-( If I had such doll budget I would rather spend it on a Numina doll or an Iplehouse or more likely on exclusive Blythe custom. I understand if someone puts hours and hours of work and an artistic vision into a doll, It can't be cheap ... but to pay such a sum for a doll which was retailed at 130-150$ ... that's a bit too much for me :-) Thank you for starting this interesting topic, Terri!<br /><br />AndrejaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-24003331606892463282013-09-26T09:59:00.012-04:002013-09-26T09:59:00.012-04:00well said.

We all know that real collectors will not buy a doll and leave it in a closet for the next 5 years and wait for the right moment to sell it, hell I can not wait even ten minutes... :))) And the reason why I have problem with them is that they actually KEEP they one in closet for 5 years instead of never buying it at first place and let the real collectors have it and enjoy it...totonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-14237499027832775202013-09-25T15:28:59.194-04:002013-09-25T15:28:59.194-04:00Oh thanks that is the one!Oh thanks that is the one!totonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-14793003049337191552013-09-25T13:56:48.281-04:002013-09-25T13:56:48.281-04:00It really is waht the market will bare.

You know the pitch, "Rare, limited edition, mint in box, value sure to go up..." etc. I see it ALL the time on Evil Bay with Tonners, too. Sellers taking advantage of newbies who don't know that much about collecting a specific brand of dolls or action figures.miladybluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063936507480569735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-44423503446894559322013-09-24T15:15:26.970-04:002013-09-24T15:15:26.970-04:00Yes, I saw Hampton Poppy for $1200...

I don't like her sculpt, not even remotely. On top of this, the "bergdorf" screening has a flaw in the eyebrows. They don't line up with her eyes correctly. They are too far over to one side.<br /><br />Regardless of this, I would never pay this much for a doll.

Dolls that retail for $150 and above are not at all attractive to me. I am thrilled with $2 dolls from Goodwill. They need me to comb their hair, find clothing that suits them.
