Hi, I am new to this board & this is my first post.
First let me say I LOVE American Girl Dolls. My daughter who is 9 years old recently made me aware of AG Dolls (am I sheltered or what). I took her to the Chicago store in Oct. 2005 & let her pick out her 1st AG Doll for her 9th Birthday. Since that time we have (between the both of us) 18 AG Dolls. Most of them at least 10 I have bought NIB, mind you just since Oct., (shame on me). A few I have bought from Ebay & then a couple for a second hand store in my area. I have bought doubles of Marisol & Jess. One for each of us, "we" play with her dolls, the other ones I have displayed & those are not to be played with. I also have Kailey, I bought her NIB off of Ebay, now that one I'm not sure if I can get another one for my daughter to play with. She was pretty expensive to get.
My question is I do not understand this issue about "fake" AG Dolls....I have recently (tonight) noticed feedback on a person in Ebay regarding selling a fake Lindsey doll, well now the person claiming to have recvd the "fake" doll...is now selling a Lindsey doll but states her to be authentic...I'm confused. Is there such a think as "fake" AG Dolls....I don't see how there could be. I so BADLY want Lindsey to complete MY Limited Edition collection but don't want to be scammed myself...so how am I to know if one is fake, is there such a thing as fake? Does anyone have a Lindsey doll for sale?
There is hardly an AG Doll I don't want. I think I like them all, really I think I want them all. I can't wait till the day I am able to move into a larger home & have a whole bedroom for my (our) dolls.
Any suggestions or info you can give me regarding "fake" dolls would be helpful.
Thanks, Lynne
