The lord is trying to tell me I need to not be buying dolls online. He is telling me I already have too many and need to deal with them first. Ok, lord I hear you and thanks for the help..... The reason I am saying this is because I have been having very bad luck with online doll sales. I am a bit dissappointed but let me explain why....
First off this blog is about being a thrifty doll hunter and when you purchase them off line it is not that thrifty. So my quest began a week ago I am not sure why but I got it in my head (which is never a good thing) that I needed more ever after high and monster high dolls. Not sure if you know this or not but they are pretty expensive, even the broken ones and the ones missing hands......
I did find an amazing lot of dolls there was ever after high, monster high and barbie! I even got an amazing deal on them so of course that was it I was on the hunt. Because of this my judgement got a little cloudy and I was paying more than I really wanted to or offering more than I wanted. So I bought they lot off of ebay (it has yet to ship..... over a week later... shipping label was printed but the item wasn't shipped.... I will be so sad if these dolls do not come).
Now on to strike 2..... Over on mercari (which I am going to say that I will NEVER buy from this app again they do nothing to make the sellers ship the items!!!) I found a really good set of 6 monster high dolls, they had their clothes shoes and all the limbs and hands. After shipping it came out to $40 (which is not very thrifty to me but they did have original clothes and shoes) I waited for a week for her to ship the item. She sent me two messages with excuses then I put in for a cancel on the lot (was sad but tired of waiting) she then messages me to tell me it is ready to be shipped and she is adding extra, well ok then I am excited to get it. Well...... today when it was supposed to be shipped I got an email that the seller has cancelled my item. AFTER 9 F****** DAYS!!! Are you serious and after not taking my cancel and telling me it was ready and I would get more???? I am livid as I'm sure you can tell.
Then on ebay I had given two offers on a lot of 6 dolls again but they were ignored so there went that. I did get a barbie bmr1959 doll that i wanted for a good price and she did get her in a good time frame (seems like that is the only one that is going to show up). I am really hoping my first lot of dolls shows up cause I am so sad right now.
Back to mercari, see why I said god is saying no. I saw a lot of dolls for only $15 with shipping that had just been listed that was sold. Then I found another lot of dolls that was about $35 but it had a lot of dolls, monster high, barbie and bratz (I was going to sell the ones I didn't need). That one too had just been listed for maybe 15 min. so I decided to get it put all my info in to be told, sorry item not available. I am like are you kidding me......
Lastly here is my last sign that online doll shopping is not going to work out for me. This is really my fault but I also blame mercari some too, their customer service is crap. I jumped the gun a bit and bought a lot with a create a monster doll and some clothes, I paid $25 for it and instantly regretted it especially when I seen that the doll had a different body than her limbs so I went back in and cancelled the order. Well..... The seller made a shipping label for it so I couldn't cancel it. They sent me a message telling me that their brother had dropped it off at the post office the next moring. So here I am 5 days later and the package hasn't moved (just like the ebay one). So what they did was printed the label so mercari wouldn't cancel it but haven't shipped it yet. I tried to contact mercari cause I want my money back but because it is in transit I can't get anyone to answer me...... I tell you if this doesn't teach me a lesson I don't know what will. **Update-the ebay box came I am so happy! A 2 part haul will be up soon!!**
