personally from my experience when it comes to shopping for dolls at flea markets if a seller refuses to let you go through a bin before buying it then stay away from it at *all* costs!!. more than likely they are hiding the fact that the dolls are either very damaged or missing many pieces. a similar thing happened to me when I bought a box full of Bratz dolls once ( that the seller refused to let me go through before making the purchase) and i came home to find out that they all either had really bad sun damage , smelled like cigarettes , or had terribly cut hair and cut up outfits. needless to say this happens a lot unfortunately and you’re not alone!

I don't get how kids treat their dolls like this. My MH dolls were my literal babies when I was 6-11. I'm so proud of myself for keeping them in literal mint condition, because I have some ones that are worth a bit now. Even my barbies, who I didn't like as much, were never broken or had cut hair.

No cause same, I started collecting in 2013 when I was like 10 and all of my dolls from back then are still in perfect condition
@rebec63542 жыл бұрын
As a kid who didn't treat my dolls very well... depending on the way you play with them (mixing and matching clothes and accessories, wild adventures, etc) It becames really easy to lose some of the smaller pieces. I ended up breaking some of my dolls legs unintentionally when younger, and most of them I dont even have anymore since they were so damaged. Needless I regret all this shit

The Barbie’s and other dolls I had when I was younger, they stayed perfect other than the hair being a bit frizzy from the playing but otherwise they were in good condition. Being older than that now, my dolls such as RH, their hair is literally perfect

The lot is actually amazing. You are very lucky to own it. You just need to fix the dolls. I would be in heaven and work on them for weeks to come. 2 $ a doll...even a doll without hands and no hair at all is worth more than that. And some of the dolls you have there are worth so much more and they have most of their stuff. It is amazing find!

I mean being that it was two dude’s I’m sure they didn’t know or was fully aware of what some of the dolls conditions were, most guys don’t really pay attention to details especially if it’s not something that interests them. So they assumed that whatever that appeared missing was probably in the bottom. I highly doubt that they took it upon themselves to look at each one individually. Overall it was a pretty good fined & you’ll make your money back in no time!
