Ebay Vs. Ag Online

[judiaci]

Sonja - that is a great deal. I guess, there still are good deals for some lucky people or those with more patience in searching. I usually find out about them here - after the auction is complete.

It's true - I'm weeding through the listings for hours to find the perfect deal... [img]wink.gif[/img]
I have the obsession to find every item at the lowest possible price.

I'm with you. My goal is not to buy on ebay. The shipping prices have gone crazy also.

The lesson is to buy two of every outfit AG puts out. As soon as the outfit is retired put the second outfit on ebay for twice the price. You then pay for the outfit you kept.

From http://store.americangirl.com/pls/ag...o?catid=387016 :

"If you would like to place an order to be shipped outside the U.S. or Canada, please call our customer service department at 1-608-831-5210, 7 a.m.-10 p.m., Central Time, or fax at 1-608-828-4790."

WHAT???!!! Sorry for screaming, but I contacted them last year and they replied, that they don't ship here. So off Sonja goes to Ebay, desperated to find the doll of her dreams... [img]wink.gif[/img]

I think it's certain countries they don't ship to. Maybe we could set up a network or something, to have people who are in shippable countries buy AG stuff and ship to other people for a little bit more (like to cover tax and reboxing).

I think that some people just don't bother to go look at the AG place items for price. They assume it's more than e-bay.

I look for retired items, and for handmade items that are as good as. I just want the look sometimes, so if it's not official AG it doesn't bother me too much. There are some fantastic sewers out there!
