He/She who dies with the most dolls, wins!
I live in El Paso, a bridge away from Mexico, and there is a
large military complex here that brings folks in from all over the world so I am never surprised at what I find! :-). My auctions come from flea markets, yard and estate sales, thrift stores, and I also do consignment sales.
Guess you all heard Mel Odom's recent announcement. After 15 active years, he is retiring Gene. He's almost 60 and he want to paint. Hang on to your Gene dolls and accessories, they are just about to increase in value!

As a seller, it is impossible to know every thing a buyer thinks is important. I welcome questions to avoid any misunderstanding.
