He is knowingly selling these dolls in TX... must be a back alley factory in Mexico pumping these dolls out now..

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The clones were ALWAYS being sold in Mexico. When I saw them a couple years ago they were the same ugly Chinese clones but several Mexican street vendors had managed to get them and were selling them in the border towns (Tijuana, Juarez etc). I wasn't really into AG then so I didn't look at them really close or ask the vendors about them.

With the resurgance of clones, I would not be surprised at all if they moved the production of the clones into Mexico or Guatemala to lower costs and avoid shipping via air or sea, like they have to do from China. (which US Customs inspects better...)

The Primary "market" for these things are people who know they are fakes and don't care they are fakes, which IMO is fine. People who buy fakes generally can't afford the real thing. It's only when someone gets ahold of one (through whatever means) and then passes it off as the real deal it becomes a problem.

I just checked the auction again and the previous high bidder has retracted! Maybe the next ones in line will ask the buyer why she retracted-would they be allowed to do that?

Now 2 bidders have retracted! I think people are figuring out something's "wrong" with this doll.

Greymist,
OH! I bet you are right! I bet that they moved them!!! Like the Louis Vuitton ones.. they started in China and then moved to Singapore and then some were in Mexico after that.. those are easy to find, though... seems that these dolls are a bit harder to find in the blackmarket. Besides.. somethign else that makes me wonder is that, from Kelly's description, the wig does not sound like the one that Ria has pictured.. I cant wait to see Kelly's doll and compare it to mine and Linda's that I have here..!

If you go down there again, take some pics! WOuld be neat to just see them.. I am trying to imagine them...were they boxed or what?

Check out the feedback of this seller. You can click on many of the items they've sold in the past months. They have sold ALOT of Bitty Babies in "played with" condition. Something about the hair doesn't look right, so I'm guessing they're fakes too.

I'm so glad I know about this board to help prevent me from making bad purchases!
