Nah, I'm not bidding on either of them. Unless it gets down to the last 30 seconds of the D auction and nobody has made a bid, in which case I will probably feel compelled to rescue him, but resist the compulsion because I'm leery of the seller.
In other news, I has chosen upholstery fabric for Toshi's Couch of Filth! The upholsterer rejected the samples I had found online (discontinued + would incur an extra $15/yard charge from her if I insisted on ordering my own fabric). But I adore what I found when I went through her current sample books, herewith:
And in the "dolls you didn't know I had" category, plz forgive the lousy flash snapshot, but lookit Dulcie, my bargain girl! Oldskin SD13G body from the option-parts days (including flashing that had to be carved away, and those little rubber tubes that had to be cut off the sprues and fitted into the ball joints to plug in the feet and hands): 13,000 yen on Y!J. Christmas Ver. Ryo head with faceup: $150 on DoA. GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!
Yeah yeah ... Dollti D and Bermann ... but wait I see the same seller has an Az, damn she is lovely, if only someone would find the old Lovelyhouse molds. I would love to get a Shin B
DOOM.
FuckitIdon'tcare. I'm going to watch him. If he stays reasonable, HE IS MINE. <3 I'll take a risk on the feedback issue.
I think that auction is by/related to whomever was doing the original Dollti auctions. Not the same seller, but the seller name is familiar as is the auction style. I mean I think this is original Dollti backstock being sold by them.
*edit: I take that back. Also, he doesn't seem to come with his bird-finger hand and his mask.
Damn.
Even so, I'm tempted. I LOVE Sam but had wanted WS, but never saw one go up back in '06. Crap.

Do you suppose there could be a Moo Yan and a Woo Yan yet to pop up?
*exhale*
The market is so dead!!
Actually, I do think those kinds of ignorance affect some buyers who don't have enough knowledge, experience, or confidence to make their own decisions, and think that anyone making so much noise must know whereof s/he speaks. Not that I have tons of respect for people who don't even trust their own likes and dislikes, but still.
I'd say one thing in that D seller's favor is the fact they are not selling super high demand dolls but ones that are very good but not as well known as some others. Someone could try contacting them in Korean and see what they say regarding the dolls.
That is a really nice body you got there, hee hee! And your couch is going to look really good!
I'm really excited about the couch fabric! It isn't at all where I thought I was heading, but when I found it, I knew it was the right one. I freaked the upholsterer out just a little, though; she kept saying in a wary sort of tone, "Well, I do like a customer who's open to new ideas . . ." rofl!
And I just love Dulcie! What a saucy thing!
YAY old Volks!! This makes two beauties that I've snagged for great prices, just this summer. People are nuts for dumping them to go after mermen and gargoyles, if you ask me. ;)

They also don't really "kneel" per se... and any freaking doll can sit with their knees bent. I'm thinking this person doesn't speak English very much and they picked this doll off of Cyworld.
I wonder whether the BJD market in Korea is changing as much as the BJD market over here, and so elusive earlier dolls are popping up on Cyworld at bargain prices? *drool*
He also mentioned (totally without me asking anything about it), that Dollti was previously known as Lovelyhouse, so there's that question answered. ^_^

Still, to get to the real point . . . quite a bit of stock????!!!! *meeping and running in circles*
YAY, thank you! Must go put some Miracle Gro on the money tree now.

squee!
I think I've got just the right eyes for this guy, though wigs are another matter. >_< Time to root through the dolly drawers again!
