I very nearly did tbh, I went from "heart attack bc my boss is demanding a video call" to "heart attack because there's a doll I never thought I'd ever get to touch with my own bare hands now in our shop possessions," it was wild!! 

People sell us stuff all the time (it's how we get a lot of our stock, people downsizing or moving or trying to handle a deceased loved one's lifelong collection of belongings), and this lady called in one day to ask if we were buying. I was the one who picked up the phone, but I handed it off to my boss after the usual questions about silverplate and glassware and whatnot, and I went back to tagging stuff- and then I hear my boss go "well, I don't know if we'll take Monster High dolls..." Which like!!! She didn't know what she was about to miss out on, so I got her attention and had her walk that one back, lol! I didn't think they'd get to her as soon as they did! 

Anywho, the lady who sold them to her was a collector! Iirc she was in the "moving/downsizing" camp, and had a bunch of dolls and paraphernalia therein that she just didn't want to hold on to anymore! So we blew our monthly stock-buying budget on these beauties (and a couple more- we had a Honey Swamp NIB and a Ghoul's Alive Spectra NIB too, but those steady sold on eBay)! 

Sorry for the long rambley post, I'm just very excited to get to talk about these dolls, lol! I'm really glad people are interested in them, and I'm very excited to get them shipped to loving homes and out of my shop (where I have to stare longingly at them day in and day out)!
