Resinsoul Li Pricing Question!

[cyanrae]

Hi, peeps! I'm back with another question about lovely 1/4 dolls!
I am going to be ordering Resinsoul Li from another country from a lovely person for $210-$220. She will be coming with a wig, eyes (I think factory eyes) and a dress. Li from denverdoll is $160 (with face-up of course) with only factory eyes and I am not sure how much shipping will be. Shipping is what boosts her price from what the person is asking ($190) to $210-$220. That's still quite a bit to shell out, I guess what I'm asking is, is it worth it? Does anyone know how much the shipping from denverdoll to the midwest would be? Thanks in advance.

I ordered my BBB Espree from DDE about three years ago. I honestly don't remember how much the shipping was. They are really nice to work with though, so it would be worth it to email them and ask. I wanted an Espree head on a Tony body, and they were more than willing to accommodate. In fact, they checked that they had both in white, and set them aside on a shelf before even emailing me to see if I wanted to purchase, I had just sent an email asking if they could do that.

You can get inexpensive wigs from Kemper or another place for $10-$15. Without seeing pictures I can't tell if the dress would be worth it, or something poorly made.

Plus if they are in another country you're dealing with customs and international shipping and a longer wait time. Another thing to consider... how old is this doll already? I mean, it looks like they are charging brand new prices, is this for a year old doll? 6 months? These are all things you should weigh before buying.

Good luck!

Shipping from either Denver Doll or Junkyspot is going to be half or less what the international shipping is. Then we get into the uncertainty of whether or not the doll will actually arrive, and without insurance, which will add much more, if it doesn't, you are out a lot of money.

Dresses can be had for $10. I would not do this for such a common doll that is easy to get in the US.

While I'm sure this person is very lovely and trustworthy, you really could get a better deal and not have the worry associated with buying second hand from a vendor within the US. Li is a lovely sculpt and I hope where ever you get her from, she can be home with you soon.

Thank you, everyone. I have decided not to buy from her, and to buy brand new.
