I would like to REMIND my lovely eBay customers that this is an antique doll -- if you want to buy a 100%-perfect doll, a newer one is probably the way to go! With many of these dolls being over 100 years old, some wear and damage is to be expected. We make every effort to list all significant flaws in our color-coded description section. Please read this carefully! I have recently been very disappointed with buyers who suffer buyer's remorse after purchasing a used antique item and then, being too shy to return it, they hit me with poor ratings on the eBay Star system, even though they give me positive feedback. Unfortunately eBay's rating system ignores good feedback and magnifies petty complaints. This adversely affects my business and credibility and the rate I must pay eBay. Iff you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, please contact me to return your item and I will be happy to give you a full refund (excluding shipping). PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME NEGATIVE STAR RATINGS! LBK 2/22/17. TBS 10/29/18.
