Hi everyone. Only because I've never ordered a doll "new" before, I was wondering if I could get an opinion on pricing here. I found a listing for a secondhand Resinsoul Ni on eBay. The bidding began at $90 (and is still there at the moment) and shipping would cost $15. The only problem with the doll is that she is a tan resin, and her hands were replaced with a color that doesn't match (since her tan ones were originally broken in shipping). Ni normally goes for $100 new, with it costing $12 extra for the tan resin.
Since I don't know how much it would cost to get her shipped to me (assuming I bought her new) from a company, I wonder what people's opinions are on the value of this doll? I have no problem with a used doll (and would in fact love to give one a second home so that I wouldn't have as many qualms about practicing on her ^.^). But I wonder if, at the end of the day, it might just make more financial sense to purchase one new to begin with?
I know this is a lot to take in (math wise). I'd appreciate the feedback!

If you jump in on a pre-order over at the Junky Spot, shipping would only cost you $13.

I saw that same doll posted on the Dairyland forums, but they posted on some other site and said they couldn't afford ebay:
Tho I just checked their other site they posted on, and both dolls have been removed, guess they decided to pay for evilbay...

I say go with a new one rather than one with mismatched hands. Junkyspot has the fastest, cheapest shipping out there and he often does pre-orders from Bobobie/Resinsoul. I think he even has some Ni in stock, although I doubt he has the tan ones if you were wanting that skin tone. A doll with issues shouldn't cost so close to a new one.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I didn't realize that Junkyspot had such cheap shipping. But I definitely agree with the mismatched hands not being worth it. It especially scares me that they say you "can't notice in photos" O.O*
So, what's "EAB"? ^.^

Yes, for such a close price, getting a new one is definitely better!
And especially from Emory-san!!! He's just the best! Fastest shipping, service and super generous bonuses, too! ^^
The other side, thought, if I needed her quickly, I might get the used one. But only if she didn't have mismatched hands, but......with the mismatch? And a price within $10?
Definitely new! ^^
