In Reply to: American Girl Doll things - Just Me
I am also into reborning, though I have yet to have any to ebay. I tend to do very personalized custom dolls. I also sew doll clothing, but I chose not to do that this year because I have not had the right kind of time.
Save my email address because I will start to have some doll clothing next year when I am no longer on hiatus. I had to take the time off because I am landscape painting this fall, now I feel badly I can't help you!

Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
I did check ebay......SM
several times; i keep hoping i'll find them, that someone will decide to sell what they have. i think it actually is a new pattern that just came out this year, so whoever has them may not decide to get rid of them this soon, but i'm going to keep checking! i am also going to check out their website. thanks very much!
Did you check eBay?
That's the first place I check when I'm looking for something like that. I also just did a quick search on Amazon and they have American Girl things, too.
Just did a quick check on ebay
On the completed listings from June 27, there were 16,806 items up for sale (not all sold). Off the Wall and Thriller albums (combined) sold for $62. Thriller alone sold for $55.
On the active items, there are 41,102 items up for sale! Off the Wall and Thriller (combined) is up to $202. Each single item is selling for $60-$80. It's crazy. A lot of these items are owned privately, but those that have a business dealing with music, posters, etc. would have to pay a royalty on those items to the estate.
Oh, yeah, one crazy seller was trying to sell a 45 record for $300! No takers.
Oh, and double check which side you are supposed to sleep on (sm)
I think it is your right side. I slept on the opposite side from the correct one but can't remember which is which...one side will help your body filter out toxins and the other side makes it harder.
Tax collector or Pharisee? sm
Do you pray like the Pharisee or the tax collector?
""The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like that tax collector over there! For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultery, I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.'
"But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.'"
Luke 18:11-13 NLT
Nastier than normal bill collector sm
When I was first on my own, I got in over my head with my phone service and had it go to collections. The debt got bought by another agency a while later, and when the first person called and said how much was owed, I said I could make the 4 payments of whatever it was they offered. Well, the "supervisor" wench who came on the line next said that was unacceptable. I explained that I could pay the amount they wanted for 1 payment but not the whole thing or I would not have groceries for my kids. I was calm and asked if she wanted me to pay her instead of having food for my kids, and I kid you not, she said yes!!! I explained that she was being ridiculous and how was I supposed to do something like that? Basically it all boiled down to she didn't care about anything other than getting the money and that I should have paid my bills back then, even when I admitted to her that I had made a bad choice at that time and was wanting to take care of it. I ended up getting hung up on and was so ticked I couldn't see straight.
When 2 cars ride side by side on the interstate...sm
and block traffic so nobody can pass. I will get irate over this. I don't know where people's brains are.
Bill collector for a finance company-worst job, sm
I would have to call people and ask them why they weren't paying their bills. One day a week I had to do field calls for people that either didn't have a phone or didn't answer the phone. I was in my early 20's and it was the mini-skirt era. Once I was driving around trying to find an address which turned out to be bogus and a man walked up to my car and propositioned me. Luckily I had all of my doors locked and the windows rolled up. Needless to say, I quit my job shortly after that.
Thanks for the info. He sure is a doll with such a s/m
cute name! They are so alert and aware of everything around them, and very intelligent, It shows! Hope Eddie gets a little turkey tomorrow! 
There's one side, the other side, and the truth
And boy is it true.
I will say you sound like my aunt, who never speaks up, gets walked all over and then cries about it later.
Her kids/grandkids have no idea why she is always depressed, they think nothing of doing whatever they want without regard for her because she hasn't expressed an interest or opinion on anything and they don't know any better.
Yes, they use her. Yes, they could do things for her, but she never asks anything or says anything, so they don't press it, because it's always been that way. And she's a martyr, so it'd upset her pattern if things actually changed.
And the truth (and maybe reconciliation) lies in the middle somewhere.
Sad.
Baby Alive doll
 Here's a tip if you bought your daughter a Baby Alive doll for Christmas. Go to Wal-mart and buy the White Cloud newborn size diapers, 40 to a pack -- they fit better than the Baby Alive doll diapers and they don't leak! Much cheaper way to go if your little one feeds her new baby as much as mine dones.
Baby Alive Doll
I am so pleased you were able to find one! My daughter told her grandparents that is what she wanted and they waited until the last minute and of course the dolls were sold out. I went to Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve of all days and they had gotten a small shipment in. There were only a few dolls on the shelf and I was able to get one. People were taking them off the shelf as I was standing there looking for the least damaged box. I had a Baby Alive as a child, my oldest had the one from the 90s and now my youngest has one. It seems to have become a tradition around here. LOL
Does anyone own an American Girl Doll?
I'm working on a bedding set for ebay and I need the measurement of the drop from the top of the mattress to the floor for the bedskirt. This could be Felicity's, Abby's or Samantha's bed, I think they all measure the same. I have a doll bed but it's not American Girl and I think the drop is different. Thanks.
I think Shep's a doll ;) watch him everyday

Your baby girl is a little doll - thanks for sharing. nm

I have a barberry - thorns and china doll and boy
holly under my window where I work. I won't be aware anything is going on until I hear a huge ruckus of twittering birds in those bushes and look out and there sits Cooper. He has gotten mourning doves and when I was walking I saw him with a baby something this summer. I love my birds but that hawk is gorgeous and I have been told by bird feeding stores that the hawk doesn't eat much. It takes him many attempts to come up with a meal.
Marie's dead doll dance . . .
I kept on waiting for her to "start up", you know, come alive and start really dancing. Especially when he wound her up with the key, I thought the routine would really start. It was the oddest thing.
American Girl Doll Products
I know this is general gab, but does anyone have any American Girl stuff to sell. I am trying to put together a collection for Christmas but can't afford anything but second-hand prices. E-Bay is way expensive too. Thanks! 
American Girl Doll things
I posted this before and a very kind MT responded with American Girl dolls for sale for Christmas. I am still searching for Samantha, Kit and Nellie and I am also looking for extra American Girl outfits. Any suggestions where else to look? I have watched Craig's List but not much going on there. If any MT would like to sell American Girl doll things, please let me know. You can reach me by e-mail through this site. Thanks for any offers or advice on getting second-hand AG dolls for Christmas gifts. 
It's a comic book. What's next, a barbie doll?

Good advice was given here. Suggest vet check-up for kitty needs vet check. sm
I've had 2 females over the years who developed stones/crystals in urine or UTIs. Both of them started spraying inappropriately. Never had a female spray inappropriately other than in these instances. They go into spasm and can't help themselves. If it is a urinary problem, eventually you may see slight pink-tinged spray if it gets that far untreated due to the irritation from constantly trying to pee. One more thought is if the kitty is not sick, maybe the other cat won't let her use the litter box for some reason. Maybe set up another box for her.
I am 40 and I still have my Baby Alive doll - packed away in my attic. Love her! sm
Gave her to my daughter when she was little and she loved her - now all her dolls and mine are stored away in the attic for the next generation. I can't get rid of them....don't know why... too many memories I guess. I love dolls.
If the lady had this doll at a yard sale, apparently it didn't mean that much to her. sm
and maybe the mom said to her daughter that anything at the yard sale is for sale at any price - she just wants to get rid of it. You shouldn't judge unless you know all the facts.

Go to Ebay
Type in Busch Gardens Coupons and there was one on there for the Williamsburg area.
Don't buy them on eBay. sm
You can make a poodle skirt from felt. You will have to approximate your daughter's waist measurements, but a poodle skirt is basically a full circle with a zipper and a waistband. Since you make it from felt, you don't need to do a hem or anything like that. If you buy 72" felt, no seams at all are needed.
Then use the same pattern to make the petticoats. Get really stiff nylon netting and make a drawstring waistband. Make it maybe a couple of inches shorter than the skirt and presto...instant poodle skirt. Then you make a poodle out of white or whatever color you want and some fancy braid and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.
Ebay Question
I need some opinions here. I won something on Sunday and paid immediately thru PayPal as the auction stated. I posted a comment to please let me know when the item shipped because I wanted to make sure I was home. I didn't hear back yesterday, so I emailed the person directly. I STILL haven't heard back. When do you think I should contact ebay and find out whats' up, or should I try and contact her one more time? My credit card has been charged already and I hate it that there is no communication.
My ebay experience
I supported myself on ebay while going to school for MT. It was great back then (2001). I have a few things on ebay now and hardly anyone looks. (handmade jewelry, stocking stuffers for kids, just small stuff). Much different than it used to be. I think it's too big.
I purchase a lot on Ebay and always get sm
as described. In fact, I negotiated with a seller last Thursday for a pair of headphones for my son and got them today. Of course, I will probably have a not so good experience in the future, but chin up, most sellers are honest and reliable.
ebay problem...sm
I bought a Tabers Medical Dictionary the newest edition for $20 plus shipping on ebay. I paid for it over a week ago. I haven't gotten it yet. I have emailed the seller and I have gotten his phone # from ebay. He does not reply to emails and I can't reach him on the phone. What the heck should I do? I want my dictionary.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
I went on ebay and it directed me to ...sm
paypal resolution center. I had to give transaction ID and a statement of what happened. The seller has 10 days to respond and if not then I can file a paypal claim and they will review and possibly take the money out his account and return it. I have tried to email this seller repeatedly. I have even gotten a phone # from ebay to contact him. I left a message with my phone # on anwering machine. I have heard no response back.
eBay rules....sm
state that sellers have up to 30 days to ship items once they're paid for.... just as buyers have up to 30 days to pay UNLESS it's posted otherwise in the original listing. My guess is that with the holidays the seller has gone away for a few days. Furthermore eBay/PayPal won't open an investigation until it's been 30 days past the day of the sale.

I go on ebay sprees every now and then - sm
usually odd stuff, some designer silk stuff now and then, goals for me to reach if I ever lose the weight I need to. I tend to shop when I get stressed, down, etc, but try hard not to as it has gotten me in trouble in the past. Just bought one of those Thane steam mops on line, only $40 (that is total with shipping)---used, but hey a lot better than the $99 they go for new. Been wanting one for a while but DH would kill me if I spent $100 on one, so went this route, he will be PO'd enough about $40 but happy if the floors get cleaned on a more regular basis of course.
eBay policy states.....sm
that the sender has 30 days to send the product. If they don't or can't prove they sent it then you can file a complaint with eBay, and they'll check with the seller who will have to either prove they sent the item (i.e. provide postal information with confirmation #s, insurance information, etc) or the seller will have to refund the money. They do tell you that if the seller has "disappeared" that they may not be able to get the money back; however, at the same time they will block them from selling again. My husband & I have bought a lot of stuff on ebay as well as sold a lot. We always ship within 72 hours and most items we've won we've received with a week. I did have one purchase that the seller kept coming up with excuses for not sending it until the 30 days came and eBay contacted her to ship it or else and she finally sent it... but she did refund my shipping fees because of the aggravation and she wasn't asked to do that.
EBAY/PAYPAL QUESTION sm
I recently bought something off of ebay. I signed up for paypal and put my charge card through paypal. It kept telling me they were having technical problems to try later. I emailed the seller three times asking if she got the payment because I did not want to double pay (I was hoping she was honest) and never heard from her. Is there a way for me to check if it took through paypal.
Could go on eBay and see what similar bracelets are going for, or
the books on collectibles/antiques in Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks, etc., too. Lots of books on identifying and pricing of old jewlery, bracelets, old plastics, etc. You could have Lucite or you might even have some pieces of Bakelite, both collectible and very cool! Start with an ebay search and see where it takes you. Good luck. NM
I personally think they are expensive and you would be better off going through Ebay...

EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm
I bought something on ebay for $12.00. I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged. It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped. I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response. How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?
Thanks.
You contact first the seller on ebay
and then ebay directly if it is not resolved.
I just got a Scrabble game on EBay
We play Scrabble each holiday - kinda got a contest going on. We have been through 2 regular games but thought it would be great to have the turntable. I decided to check Ebay 2 weeks ago and one had an hour left on the bid and I won the bid for $19 w/ S&H. There was one tile gone but they told me ahead of time about that which is n problem really as we had all the tiles from the old game and they fit just fine. Bought an egg timer at the dollar store and looking forward to this year's game fest. Good for you playing a board game with the grandkids. Teaches them a little spelling subliminally too.
Update: Just sold for $299 on Ebay
if you can get your hands on one they are selling like hotcakes!!
Report it to EBay. Did you use PayPal to
pay for it?? If so, maybe they can cancel the payment.
