Thanks for telling us more about yourself!

It's fine that you mentioned Girls Inc, because you were just answering our questions. But I just want to remind all those who will post after you and I here that we are not going to get back into a debate on the pros and cons of Girls Inc (See sticky "A Ban-able Offense") [img]wink.gif[/img]
Since that is the reason for your daughter's decision, though, she might want to know that I heard in the news a few days ago that AG will be discontinuing its affiliation with Girls, Inc, on December 26.

We hope that you might find yourself hanging out with us now and then, even though you don't feel like it right now.

Peace be with you,
Joy [img]smile.gif[/img]

Joy, I am not going to get into a debate about the Girls, Inc. thing. I just wanted to tell you thank you for posting what you had heard. I had not heard that the relationship would be dissolved and I greatly appreciate your posting what you had heard. I am very pleased by your information.

Thank you, historylover.

Please everyone else, let's not have a back-and-forth on who's pleased and who is not. I would not have brought it up except for its being the reason for someone to sell their collection. Perhaps I should have emailed her privately. Our board has been mercifully quiet on this one, and I'd like to keep it that way, ok?

Thanks,
Joy

Welcome to the board!Good luck with your sales!

Hi Everyone! I purchased some items from Carolyn on another board. She has been great to work with. My items shipped yesterday, so I will let everyone know as soon as they arrive.

(Her pictures were beautiful - sets complete, etc!)

Welcome!!! Good luck with your sales [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Carolyn, Thank you for thinking of us.

At the same time, we would like you to enjoy your time here in other ways too, aside from selling things. We prefer that our message board is used for more than selling. And sometimes the members here like to know a person a little bit before buying things from them. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Do you have some AG dolls yourself? Do you have any interesting AG pictures or photo-story albums? Or any heartwarming or funny stories to tell of your or your daughter's experiences with the dolls?

Is your daughter sure that she wants to part with so many treasures? If she thinks that she's "too old" for them, sometimes if a mom hides them away until she passes that phase and reaches college age, they become treasures again. The age range in this club is usually from around age 6 to around age 73, so we know from experience that no one is really too old for these dolls. But sometimes jr hi and high school girls go through a phase in which they may think that they are too old, sometimes due to peer pressure. If you send her our way, maybe we can talk her out of getting rid of all these treasures. [img]wink.gif[/img]

In any case, welcome to our board. We hope that you and your daughter will have many fun moments here. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I apologize if this is not an appropriate board to post "for sale" items. One of your members recommended that I post our list here. Feel free to remove my post if I am out of place with selling. Thank you for your reply!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am not a moderator, but I just wanted to say that I don't think that it is inappropriate for you to post a "for sale" thread here, but at the same time, it would be nice if you introduced yourself first. Like djsnlones asked, do you have any AG stuff yourself? Why is your daughter selling her AG things? How did you first get into AG?

It's not that it's inappropriate to sell things here, but we usually prefer that that's not all a person does here, and that it's not done on the first post. We like having some sort of relationship with the person first. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Check out Rule #6--"Occasional selling of American Girl items is allowed, but if that is all you want to do, please do not use the board. The Society is not legally responsible for any transactions resulting from the use of the board. Posts announcing items for sale or trade will be subject to removal after 1 month."

You're welcome to leave your list posted. And please feel free to stick around and do some other things too, ok? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I should have read about your board better before posting! To be honest, the reason my daughter is selling her collection is because she was saddened by AG's new partnership with Girl's Inc. She asked to sell her collection and donate part of the proceeds to our church. I respected her decision and told her I would help her to sell.

She did enjoy playing with her collection - Samantha, Josephina, Kit, and an AG Today doll. She mainly just had them on display though and occasionally changed their clothes and brushed their hair. She read the books and collected art supplies and ornaments. She also enjoyed her AG Mini room.

This last year though, she said she was not that interested anymore and wanted to store them away. I intended to save them for her as she got older. However, when she made this decision, as I said I respected it and am now helping her to sell. Since I won't be a part of this board in discussions, I don't feel like I have used it appropriately. I would be happy to remove my post as I said earlier, I am just not board savvy and don't know how!!

Thank you for your comments!

I sent you a PM.

Faith--thanks for vouching for her. That helps. I agree that most (including me) would rather buy from someone who has a presence on the board who I "know" but having someone vouch for her helps.

Welcome to the board. I personally am glad you posted here instead of ebay, but I understand the intent of the rule as well.

I received my items from Carolyn today! Everything is excellent and exactly as described and pictured!

Faith

Just wanted to say welcome!!! I hope you decide to keep some of your AG stuff!!!!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
