She has blue sleepy eyes and red lipstick. She has some scratches on her face and places where her paint has worn off.

I do accept reasonable offers except for items on bid.
Customer service is my top priority so you can buy with confidence.
My eBay store is a smoke-free and pet-free environment. Items I buy at auctions, estate sales, yard sales, etc. may not be from a smoke/pet free home. I thoroughly clean and freshen all items before I list them and then clean and freshen again when I sell them.
I combine shipping on multiple (non-fragile) items. Please request an invoice from me for combined orders before you pay. Once I receive your invoice, I will make the shipping changes and email you the final invoice and then you can pay the correct shipping cost.
Due to the changes in eBay policy, I cannot refund any overpaid shipping after payment is made.
If an item(s) weighs more than 3 pounds, I usually give you the option to select economy shipping to save you money. If economy shipping is the shipping method selected, I try to upgrade the shipping to priority mail (at no extra charge to you) depending on the fragility of the item and ONLY if the shipping cost is at a reasonable cost difference for me.
