[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 497453, member: 84"] 20.00, huh? What's bad is I know I'd pay that much. lol Ok, guess I'll adjust the price a tad. I want to be careful not to go too high. I want to make a profit for sure, but want them to be affordable too. The original appeal of the American Girl dolls were that they were high quality with the same high quality accessories. The woman who came up with the idea wanted heirloom dolls that could be played with and enjoyed and passed down. A shame she sold out to one of the toy companies. The quality went noticeably down right after and I haven't bought a thing from them since. (both mother in law and I spent a small fortune on the stuff over the years for both easy child and Nichole) And now they don't even have half the stuff they used to have, none of the cute sets Nichole has for her bitty baby doll. I know we paid 20-30.00 per outfit back in the 90's when we were buying them. Didn't bat an eye. My girls so very much enjoyed that. They still have their dolls and their sets, both originals, all original sets to go with them. The doll in the picture is the original bitty baby. Aubrey plays with the 2nd edition that mother in law bought for Nichole because she thought perhaps she'd like a doll that looked more like her.......only Nichole wasn't giving up her "Ashley" baby for no new doll. lol So it got tucked away and last year Aubrey got to have her. I'd like Aubrey to have the same experience. She's still too young to play with some of the sets that were bought for Nichole's doll (they were pretty elaborate) and due to them now out of circulation and originals.....well, want to make sure she can care for them properly first......So this way she has her own originals for her doll too, that maybe someday she can pass down along with Nichole's doll stuff. Nichole still has some of the doll clothes I made for hers as well. [/QUOTE]
