A fair and foul a day i have not seen...

Today I woke up and went down to the basement where I displayed the thirteen Barbies I scored last night. I bought them for an average of 11.50 a doll. They ARE the most precious things!!
I looked at them with a sense of satisfaction and self fulfilment!!
Then rings the door bell, it was a lady I arranged to buy dolls from, not only was she early, but she bamboozled me.
I wanted to buy them for new OOAK projects I wanted to work on. She gave me 16 dolls for 140 dollars. Most were in kind of a bad shape. Two were in boxes, one in a very damaged one. These were the ones I feel I scored big time on.

One was the Busy Gal Barbie Limited Edition 1960 Reproduction Fashion & Doll which goes up to 45 dollars, but the box was pretty damaged...

The other one was the bay exclusive , on eBay it was up for 150 bucks.

The lady priced these two for 35 dollars, so that was amazing.. But the rest was pretty much crap...

There were some vintage dolls in bad shape... some old Barbies... some Hasbro dolls and a Cher doll or something... and oh a poison Ivey doll and a spice girl doll...
So I feel like I was cheated but I wasn’t really, I should look at it as scoring two amazing dolls and getting some dolls for OOAK creations...

Anyway, I’m getting eight dolls for my OOAK projects this afternoon... and I’ll start getting serious with that... all the repaints I did so far are kind of not so great, and the enhancement are just OK, not good enough... the re-root I did on one doll turned out pretty good and it was for practice on a crappy doll my little sister had so I’m thinking now of fixing her up or as I like to say, pimping her out!!!

I just deleted my other post to start fresh... because I just finished university exams and I feel like I need that..

Follow and I’ll be updating often and showing the dolls I make...
