Cheaper 1/4?

Cheap dolls? I know that's either a dream or a scam in this community haha :lol: But in all honesty, as a broke college student who already has two other expensive hobbies (cosplay, pins) I was curious if anyone knew where to get 1/4 doll supplies cheaper, ideally 40-45 cm, under $200. I don't even know where to start. Quality isn't that big of an issue for me, unless the quality causes some kind of difficulty, I just want what I pay for. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! ♡

EDIT: I'm aware of The Junky Spot, but I feel like the selection is too small and I want to see if I can go cheaper. ♡

Keep watch here and DOA for marketplace finds. You are safer that way than on Escam... I mean Ebay.

Also, depending on the type of doll you are looking for, you probably aren't going to find any less expensive than Bobobie/Resinsoul. You can find a few on Denver Doll if you want to ask about a layaway (something Emery doesn't offer), but JS has the best USA selection.

Apologies, I should've been more clear >w< I mean like doll heads, wigs, eyes, the basics. I found a couple bodies I like but not thrilled with the head selection on js.

I like Alice's Collections for cheaper clothes and stuff. They have a wide variety of doll companies that they deal with.

MiroDoll makes extremely inexpensive 1/4 dolls (and other sizes) and often several are on 'clearance' for even lower pricing!

Here's their clearance page:

Also ResinSoul and Bobobie are rather inexpensive choices but still nice. :)

I like 5 Star dolls and Doll Love. There are several companies in that range. Doll Leaves is another....

What look are you wanting in a doll? That will determine a lot.

Does it absolutely have to be polyurethane resin? Because there are some lovely vinyl and ABS dolls out there. Some companies even make vinyl versions of their resin dolls. You can get a beautiful vinyl 1/4 for from $50-$100, depending on what you're looking for.
