OK...so my 7 year old has been talking about nothing but American Girl Dolls for about 2 weeks now...Thanks to a little girl at school and the catalogs that keep appearing in my mailbox. Now...I do think the dolls are nice and the books are very good...but the cost is sooo high! Not all "American Girls' " parents can afford American Girl Dolls. My daughter is only 7 and believes in Santa. She thinks that Santa will bring her one, because he knows mom and dad cannot afford it. Oh Boy....
In addition we actually finished shopping long ago, because my budget is ultra tight this year....we are getting over some set backs from over the Summer.
Well, since she is such a good kid and gets excellent grades, I thought I might try and get an American Girl Doll and realy surprise her. HOLY COW those dolls are expensive new, so I posted on my local Cheapcycle and Craigslist sites to buy used. No luck at all, and now I have spent the better part of the last 10 days being outbid by everyone on ebay. I also don't use Paypal so that made it harder still to bid....I have no more time to search for used at this point and new is just out of the question...
So, I am going to buy a "Fake". My question is...which one is the best one to get??? I have seen similar dolls for sale in Wal Mart and Target, but I am not sure they actually resemble AG in the faces. I have also seen a similar doll in my local AC Moore store. Those dolls have the front teeth sticking out like AG...
sooo I must act quickly and semi-cheaply and could use any advice. Thanks!
