How Badly Do You Want This Doll?

Postby Kirahfaye » Wed Apr 18, 2018 7:29 am

I follow this seller and have bought things from her before. Most of her dolls and clothing start off at $9.99 and get higher than I want to spend, but - WHOA!

I'll bet you any amount of money that's two bots bidding against each other and the buyers didn't bother to set a cutoff price. I'll bet you they both bail on their bids.

I hope not, for brodjam's sake. I've seen several of her dolls (and even some clothing sets) go for hundreds but this is the first time I remember anything going this high - and on the first day to boot.

It might depend on how short of a run of production this doll had. I've seen some Integrity Toys dolls go for pretty high, especially ones from a few years ago that are becoming more and more scarce. I think the most I've paid for one so far was close to $200, but it was a more recent one, so people were still selling them secondhand. Usually, only a few hundred of each doll are made, so the older they are, the higher the price you're going to pay, and Poppy Parker collections usually sell very well.

Most likely just a lack of them circulating in the secondhand market, so people charge more for the ones that are. Water toys, especially dolls, often didn't survive children because they wound up full of mold and mildew or the doll's hair would sour due to improper drying, so the parents just threw them away. Also, most parents probably tossed their kids old bath toys anyway, which is where most swimming dolls got the most playtime. There's just not a lot left in a condition worth reselling, let alone buying, so you're usually going to wind up really paying for one in good condition.

Just a couple clarifications: this isn't a "water toy", Poppy Parker is a fashion doll. Also, the starting bid for this doll was $9.99 which is what this particular seller starts 99.8% of all her auctions at. I bought several things from this seller, I've even helped her with BJD questions in the past, so I don't want anyone to have the wrong idea about her. :D
