FAQs Does this item have any stains or odors? - We do our best to describe the item's condition as we see it, items come from a smoke-free home with no pungent odors (unless stated above). All items are sold AS-IS, please ask any questions before bidding. Buyer assumes the risk that new-NRFB items may have flaws once removed from box or undressed. Do you accept anything other than PayPal? - No, I accept PayPal only and immediate payment is much appreciated. An automatic unpaid item case will be opened if payment is not received within 4 days. Do you offer combined shipping? - I happily offer combined shipping on multiple items. If you win/purchase more than one item, please use the "Request Total from Seller" button on the checkout page OR wait for me to send your combined shipping invoice (which, either way, is usually done the following afternoon). If you go ahead and make payment without waiting for a combined shipping invoice, I can only assume this is your way of donating a "little extra" to cover the cost of cat food. If you are allergic to cats, this is a warning that Henry, the CEO of this little operation, is a cat! Cat hairs are sometimes included at no additional charge :)Can you offer a cheaper shipping option? - The shipping option(s) listed is/are the choice(s) for this item. International Buyers - Please do not ask me to lower the declared value of the item or mark it as a gift. I do not use the Global Shipping Program. Be prepared to pay the customs taxes that will be due upon arrival of your item.What's the meaning of life? - Good friends, belly laughs, random adventures, and birthday cake!
“How many of these dolls did you say you have?” Wow… who knew! I don’t recall the exact amount but that handful of dolls and outfits put an extra couple hundred dollars in my pocket and I was more shocked and surprised than I was when my $35 sketching sold for $700+. And so I found myself with a new part-time job, every so often I would be given a handful of dolls and in my spare time I would undress them, photograph and list; always the same formula of starting at $9.99 and running for five days. I would check my listings every night when I got home from work, gobsmacked at the amount of bids and bidders trying their luck at all of the dolly treasures I was offering. Back then (2006) eBay didn’t have a shipping label system so I would hand-write all of my address labels. Packages were shipped all over the world, there was a multi-copy carbon customs form that needed to be filled out with every international package, which I also did by hand. Eventually I was smart enough to grab a handful of these forms to take home so that I could have them ready when I brought the packages to the mail clerk window. My local, postage-stamp-sized post office was located right next door to my apartment building… yes, I realize how convenient this really was. I would walk my packages down and stand in line as the clerk weighed and calculated every single package one at a time. After a few weeks of this I started to feel like they probably hated to see me coming because of all of the work they knew they were going to have to do; but I always smiled and showed sincere appreciation and when the holidays came rolling around I would give them gifts to say thank you. They actually ended up coming to rely on my business and shared with me that they feared if I ever stopped or moved away their tiny little postage-stamp-sized post office would close down and be obsolete. After several rounds of listings I started becoming familiar with all of the different Tyler and friends faces and names and eventually I was introduced to Kitty Collier, Tiny Kitty, Betsy McCall and many others. It fascinated me, every evening that I had auctions ending, and I started noticing the same eBay usernames popping up time and time again and I would wonder who that person was and what their doll collection looked like. Isn’t it enchanting how a plastic, miniature human look-alike can bring so many people together? “Could I become a doll collector?”
