Originally posted by monochrome A couple days ago my granddaughter and elder daughter got out her (daughter’s) American Girl dolls and changed them into their Christmas outfits. I was shocked to hear Kirsten has been discontinued. How typical of modern times. Great idea for a gift.
I've been telling her for a bit over 15 years to just tell me which one she wants and I'll get it. But she'll get wishy-washy over it and whatnot or she'll finally find one she likes when I don't have any money. So she was looking at one a couple weeks ago saying how it was "only" $260ish or something as a buy it now price. This to me, seems rather ridiculous as to me $50 seems like too much...
I found one that was $575 OBO, so I tossed them a $75 offer which for some reason I just can't understand was rejected immediately...
But I found one that was a really good deal, supposedly good condition with 2 outfits, all the accessories, etc. for under $100. And my mom's been making American Girl doll clothes for about 25 years or so that looks exactly like the ones you can buy except she only charges something like $10-$15/outfit at craft shows, so I can always get more clothes easy enough. I'm hoping the doll doesn't have silver-eye or whatever it is and that it's the correct one. Not sure if my wife wanted pre-Mattel or post or any of the other myriad of details that I've never gotten a straight answer to. So, hopefully she likes her. And if not, I suppose I can always resell and try again.
