The rule of thumb holds that once an item becomes a problem, it's always a problem...I bought a lot of dolls at a toy auction in December. There were 7.
As a side note, one of the dolls was named "Julie" I hate this name because it is the nickname of the girl my husband tried to run off with. I knew this fucker would be trouble.
As I am packing the doll, I notice her right eye is a little winky - the eye won't close immediately upon being laid down - you had to shake her. It was 4 days before Christmas so I did not want any delays and took my chances. Bad idea.
"I am sorry, but this is a deal breaker" says the buyer - on Christmas Eve. The doll takes forever to return, so meanwhile I have to make sure that $40 stays available, which sucks at this time of year. I finally get the bitch back, refund, watch a You Tube video, pop out the eye, realize that there is a tiny bar that holds the eye straight that has broken off. I drill the eye, pop a hairbrush bristle into the hole where it broke off and pop it back in. Eye was fixed in basically 10 minutes.
I relist and then get two shitty lowball offers. As I was rejecting them, I realize that I forgot to mention a ghostly pale ink mark on the doll's lower jaw. I revise.
Item Description:
"Julie. Hair is in good shape. Clean and in good shape with tight limbs. Comes from a non smoking home. Eyes open and close as they should. Has a faded spot of ink underneath her left cheek near her chin. She is a newer version. No clothing."
