Does she say Mattel or pleasent company on the back of her neck? The bitty baby she has has paint or scratches or something all over her head and I was trying to figure out how to get it off. I'll have to try what you did. This doll has been passed down from sister to sister to neighbor to my sister, so she's not looking so good. I think her tag says 2000 or 1999 so she's pretty old and I seriously need. To do a mini doll hospital at my house. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526143394607315081.post-68593567149100137982014-01-02T09:18:18.481-08:002014-01-02T09:18:18.481-08:00We bought Samantha on ebay last year and while her...We bought Samantha on ebay last year and while her condition was as described and we were happy with her, the shipper chose to send her in a padded envelope instead of a box. I was not happy with that choice since she could have gotten very damaged that way and my daughter paid $19 for shipping and said so in their feedback. I gave a high rating and said the doll was as described, just that I wished it had been boxed instead of in an envelope. That was my honest opinion of the transaction. He replied with why he made his choice, that to box her would have been sent sitting instead of upright. I understood that (kind of) but still would have preferred a box. This was not a person with a ton of other AG listings so it wasn't his normal thing and maybe next time he will choose a box. I don't see anything wrong with being honest. It's good to see how well she came out after all your hard work. I still think you got a good deal.

However, while I would not care to trash a seller's reputation, I think it is a disservice to other eBay buyers to not comment when a seller's description does not match the item. A factual description of what this seller considers "played with" condition (filthy, scratched, mold-like body stain, inked price on leg) would be helpful to other buyers and perhaps educate the seller so that he or she could write better descriptions in the future. I would also note in my feedback that I chose to keep and restore the doll. Like you, I would not reveal the seller's name on my blog.<br /><br />I hope you don't think I am criticizing your decision. I just wanted to bring up another possible good choice. And I also want to thank you for your blog which I read every day.Catholic Bibliophagisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697706672495544901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526143394607315081.post-36849180934725021972013-12-31T06:44:20.975-08:002013-12-31T06:44:20.975-08:00Thanks everyone!

Like you, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and returned the doll without hurting his Ebay reputation. (The same day I returned that one, I got a fantastic deal on a much nicer doll from another seller.) <br /><br />Apparently "played with" condition doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. Some people's children must be *very* rough with their toys for this to be considered "played with" condition! :)<br /><br />I'm so glad you were able to rescue the doll, though.
