How I buy dolls as a collector (how to get cheap dolls)

NOTHING irritates me more than people who bid on items on eBay that have DAYS left of the auction & drive the price up instead of waiting until it ends to try getting it for dirt cheap🙄🙄

I totally agree with how horrible the doll collectors that hate kids are, toys were designed for kids in the first place! They are meant to be played with. Personally as an adult collector I get a bit more uncomfortable when customizers buy dolls that come with their entire outfit and then customize them completely, but it's fair since they were okay with paying for them and didn't hurt anyone in the process, I just think "damn! I wish I could find something like that in my country!"

On a side note, as a Chilean I sometimes misspell things like Barbie as "barby" or monster high as "monster heigh" because I know that what will show up will be cheaper.

Bro your tip to search for things from people who have no clue what they are selling is genius!

Doll collecting is research so true. I’m exclusively a Barbie collector and thrift stores are great, I find many new in boxes. If you are new to collecting set your price limits and stick to it. I won’t pay more than 50 for a Barbie and I have 60 ponytail and mod dolls.

I just won an auction on eBay where I got 750 pieces of Barbie clothes for $76! I also got 15 Barbies in really great shape to put the clothes on. The dolls were $11. I also look for items in damaged boxes. Those go cheap!

yess!! i usually just search it as “ monster high doll “ instead but of “ monster high dawn of the dance draculaura “

The thrift store is my number one source for dolls and Craigslist as well . I got my first AG from Craigslist.

theres a really nice antique mall near where I live. I can find very nice dolls there for cheep and a lot of time I can find in box dolls. monster high, ever after high, bratz, disney descendants, 80s/ 90s barbies, equestria girls, and jax pacific winxs dolls. some times its a hit or miss but thrift shops and antique shops have alot of cool stuff. garage sales as well.

I've ordered dolls from Mercari. I like their site.

These are brilliant tips! I’ve just got into doll collecting and it’s so expensive

yay loved this video! i don’t live in the us but some of these tips were still helpful! especially the Marketplace ones. Also, a tip for people that are looking for a specific era of barbies: try searching “[year] barbie” with the year written in their backs according to the main body mold they used in that era :) some sellers will try to price them up since they think they’re more “vintage” than they actually are, but it helps a lot if you’re looking for a specific era of dolls!

Your videos have been so helpful in shaping my mindset for how to approach collecting. It’s helped me to stop and think about what I’m willing to pay, and to set a bar for the condition I want dolls in. Even for new dolls like RH, I hadn’t thought about what to check for about the quality of how the faces got painted. I’m finding most dolls I really want will eventually show up for the price I want so long as I keep checking for them and hold off buying at more than what I’m willing to pay.

I’m just missing Aisha believix in my collection, but I’ll keep looking for her I’m not losing hope. ❤️❤️ thank you this was really helpful

i've just decided to start doll collecting recently and this video contained a lot of useful info for me, thank you!!!

I can do research for hours bur there are countries that don't have dolls second hand. I can get maybe 5 MH dolls, 0 My Scene, 1 Bratz and a few Winx dolls. I searched EVERYWHERE in my country. Ebay is almost useless because shipping to a small country is insane.

Dolls in the stores are 2x as expensive than in the US. For example, most LOL dolls are 50$ here and we are poor compared to USA, UK etc.
