Good Advice on Finding American Girl Dolls for Cheap Online

0 comments Added on 10/25/08 by betsy

I have some advice for you guys if you are hunting online for American Girl items on the cheap. My daughter has 7 of the dolls and I also buy them all the time to sell. The most I have ever paid for a doll is $30, but that was for Lindsey the first girl of the year which I sold for $250. The last one I bought was Elizabeth for $1, the lady didn't care because her overindulgent mother-in-law had bought it as a gift for her daughter. People always ask me how do you find American Girl stuff at garage sales?

Well, this is how:

1. Craigslist, if you just go onto Craigslist for your local area and click the link for "for sale" type "American Girl" into the search box at the top of the page. You will find American Girl dolls not only for sale in the "items for sale" section but also the garage sale section. Since Craigslist is free and newspapers charge per word some people go into great detail in their listings and by typing "American Girl" into that top search box you will pull up all the listings that have American Girl stuff. Another bonus of finding it at a garage sale, no shipping cost!

People also are selling American Girl stuff in the classified and while some is kinda high Ebay priced, I found a woman selling 6 dolls and an Armoire for $125 for everything, she was a mom who thought played with dolls. . . (read post)

How to Clean American Girl Doll Skin

0 comments Added on 08/23/08 by Betsy

Dont you just hate it when you see that promising peek of tan cloth body at a garage sale and get all excited only to find the poor American Girl doll you have pulled out of the stuffed animal bin looks like it should be begging for 35 cents a day on late night tv?

How do you remove that gross layer of kid grub from AG skin?

I use Magic Erasers, they are totally remove the gross grimey stuff leaving clean limbs behind.

How do you fix their hair?

My mother advises washing doll hair in fabric softener so I am going to give it a whirl on the old Pleasant Company Molly I bought for a dollar today. I will let you know what I find.
