{Sorry the subject is so long.. [img]redface.gif[/img] }.......Pick up anything of Marisols for me?{NOT HER, & NOT her accessories} I am willing to pay for it & for the shipping cost. If anyone can do this, tha'd be great!! I would just need to know the price of the item{s} & the shipping amount!!
Anyone know what the prices will be there? That'll help lots to choose what I'd like to get first. If you are going & are willing to do this, you can either PM me.
TIA!!!

Based on the sale last year, I would doubt there will be much of Marisol's stuff. Only the earliest time slots would even have a chance of getting anything other than the doll (last year the Kailey dolls were almost full price, anyway). People with the earliest time slots are already buying a TON of stuff. I'm guessing they wouldn't be able to pick stuff up for you, too. I know I bought so much last year, and it's so crowded and you have to haul everything around and there are limits on what you can buy... I wouldn't have wanted to buy anything for anyone else. Maybe someone else will have a different perspective, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. Sorry.

The policy seems to be full retail price on anything "retired" (which would include all of Marisol's items). Two years ago we had 7am tickets, and were limited to ONE Kailey item each (and the wetsuits all went to the volunteers). Since the limits will probably be the same, I imagine most people will get the one item for themselves. That's one of the things that balances out the $12 ticket cost and gas expense etc. Sorry.

I'll look for you, but I wouldn't expect them to have anything. If I find something, I'll get on the board ASAP and let you know.

clarification, what is MCM?

Madison Children's Museum.

Every year American Girl donates products for a benefit sale for the Madison Children's Museum. There they sell all the returns, seconds, etc that volunteers have restored to near perfection. You can buy AG items at greatly reduced prices there. If you want more information on it go to: www.madisonchildrensmuseum.com and look at the area marked Beneft Sale.

OK. I like the buying the ticket idea, but how much do they usually go for? Thanks!

We may be going. I'm going to try to get tickets for 8:00 AM. No one will be able to tell what the price is until they get there, though.

American Girl has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the sale OTHER than donating their returns & seconds of American Girl products. The sale is set up & run by Museum personnel & the volunteers.

It does get rather crazy because of the crowds. The suggestion for someone to have an extra ticket to shop for another person is a good idea because of the limits. Keep checking the Museum website for information. I heard if you send them a SASE they'll send you sale information.

If you send a SASE they will give you a flyer with some items that will be at the sale.

OK! Thanks! I got that done!! Now I'm just waiting for it to arrive in May!

Hmmm. I think the limits are PER person, not per ticket. If you don't have a body there, I don't think they will honor the extra ticket toward limits.

I may or may not be going - there is an event in DC I want to attend the same weekend. If I do go to MCM, I am buying so much for my sisters I don't think I can handle anyone else's requests.

I know people who bought stuff, left, then entered again with a second ticket to buy more stuff. But you are right- it doesn't matter if you have 2 tickets in your hand, they will only let you buy so much each time you check out.

Your Limits are per person not ticket. I had DD with me and could barely think about what to buy for us much less anyone else - I know a friend asked me to buy Kits Bed and I forgot it.My Mom went in after us and got more things, but it really is VERY Crazy and exhausting - To get Marisol Stuff you will need to have EARLY Tickets and they sell out with in seconds. I am still un-decided, but will be getting tickets just in case.

I will get two sets of tickets - One Early and one later so that I can go back in.
