Shipping tracking and insurance for lower 48 $18.95 worldwide $35 USD insurance if wanted add $8 for worldwide insurance *****THOUGH I SHIP WORLDWIDE, CHECK FIRST FOR SHIPPING THIS SALE IS FOR AS SHOWN AND STATED, AND IS FINAL, UNLESS I MADE A MISTAKE, WHICH I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE AND MAKE RIGHT. I WIL TRY AND ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT IF I DO NOT ALWAYS GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS, IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH BEING PRESENT TO MY WIFE TWO DAUGHTERS AGES 6 AND 3 AND PETS, OH AND MY FULL TIME JOB. SO IF YOUR NOT SURE, AND DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM ME, CONSIDER NOT BIDDING, ITS OK REALLY. I WILL EVEN SEND PICTURES, IF IT FITS MY TIME, AND I HAVE TIME, IF YOU HAVE ISSUES OR JUST WANT TO CHAT I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER, AND THOUGH I HATE TO TALK ON PHONES, I WILL TALK BUSINESS, WHEN THERE IS MONEY TO BE HAD OR A COOL TRADE TO BE FIRMED UP. IF I AM DRIVING I USUALLY WON'T ANSWER MY PHONE, AND I WISH YOU WOULD ALL DO THE SAME, ESPECIALLY YOU TEXT MESSAGE PEOPLE, WHICH I REALLY RARELY DO. I BUY SELL AND TRADE SO READ ON IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT ME: I wil now tell you more about myself, and what I have to do with dolls. In short, I have at least 1000 dolls, of every type. I was not a doll collector. I know lots more about dolls than you average person. I am willing to sell or trade any doll for any thing I want, and am not always concerned with if the trade is even money wise. I also will sell a doll, and will give a fair assessment of what i have, and if anything will downplay the good and up play the flaws. If you are looking for mint, from a smoke free environment, do not bother contacting me, and don't bid on anything I list, as I have no time for you and you obsessive nature. I like toys and things that have been loved and used, so I am willing to deal with anyone that is a human being in a less than perfect world. ************A WORD ABOUT THE OWNER OF THIS & THE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE DOLLS THAT WILL BE LISTED: These dolls were owned by my mother. She collected dolls over the last 83 years. She SMOKED... lol, I always wanted to say that , for all you people who list from a smoke free environment, I couldn't resist. My mother became quite ill over the last several months, and is recuperating, but she was a stubborn women and she did it her way which is how we have arrived at this sale. When I walked into her house, the collecting of dolls had reached a new height that only those that have stepped over the edge can appreciate. Her house was a disaster, and over the last 4 months, i have literally sorted through over 10,000 dolls, and I'm not kidding, if anything I am underestimating the number of dolls within her home. Let me just say those of us who have spent time collecting have met people or, are people that realize the only thing that is perceived as an issue, is the need form more space to put all the things we continue to acquire. How did this happen? Mom was a child of the depression and only had a Shirley Temple Look alike doll, and spent a great part of her life trying to fill that void. But did she? Ah that is a double edged blade. Out of the thousands of dolls she had, I have discarded, given away donate, a great deal of dolls. I am sure many of you doll collectors are thinking what a loss, but I have kept a lot of dolls. *********ABOUT THE DOLLS I HAVE: i have Bisque, composition, hard plastic vinyl, china, wax, wood cloth dolls that cover the spectrum of dolls, I count for example eight Shirley Temples, of all sizes, and in all conditions, from very good to poor. German Bisque, oh yes lots of those, clean and pretty to broken sleepy eyes to empty sockets, dolls with open mouths closed, jointed wood bodies wrapped in chicken wire, clean outfits to outfits that are falling apart, Black dolls, japanese dolls, china, french german, ideal patsy pick a company I have a doll from that company. I wish I found a pete the pup, or some of betty boops friends, but alas what I love, was absent. *****ABOUT THIS Me: I am her son, and am arriving at the back side of my 50's this month. I have been selling on ebay since 1998, and have sold so many things. I will be lisitng thi collection here on my wife's ebay account, but I also have my selling account that has over 800 feedbacks. I collect love old tin toys and some newer, mechanical watches, and I have sold everything from tiny to dinette sets, and anything in between. I love nothing more that to go to a flea marked or yard sale, that is how I go hunting. My latest find was 3 1943 Heywood Wakefield Rio Wheat Dressers, at the Mission for $225, Oh I am so obsessed with chairs, kitsch tiered lamps and all things 50's and Mid-Century modern atomic. I love folding pocket knives, but not guns. I love primitive tramp fold outsider arts and crafts, wood jointed character acme type dolls and characters, ventriloquist, pee wee herman, sock monkies, and shrunken heads, mark ryden, gary baseman, edgy art, warhol & Lichtenstien, though I think Peter Max is a hack today. Yes, I am my mothers son. And what I need most is more space, for my things. *****I WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY DECEIVE A BUYER, I WILL CONSIDER RETURNS FOR GOOD REASONS, BUT I SELL AS IS STATED AS IS PICTURED, AND WANT ALL SALES TO BE FINAL, AS IT IS A HASSLE TO DEAL WITH UNHAPPY PEOPLE AND I JUST AS SOON NOT,IF I SOUND LIKE SOMEONE YOU CAN DO BUSINESS WITH GREAT, IF THE DEAL WORKS GREAT IF NOT, THATS OK TOO. I WILL SELL OR BUY, AND I WILL NOT PLAY ANY SCAMS, THOUGH I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, I LIKE TO THINK PEOPLE ARE IN GENERAL HONEST. IF I DIDN'T LIFE WOULD LOSE ITS LUSTER. BEST,HAM
