I hope you try again. Losing on ebay is a sad thing... And, as one procrastinator to another, I can safely say this: even as you were bidding, you were writing... :) Oh, sad. I hope you try again.

Collectors push up the prices. I noticed one Jess doll was going for more than it would cost if you just ordered it from the American Girls company. Go figure.

I think you mentioned buying some clothes from eBay, also.<br/><br/>I can see why you'd like the Jess doll for your daughter. My daughter had Samantha, which was the one who most resembled her.<br/><br/>I agree, those dolls are very expensive. My daughter saved up half the money and we paid the other half. What a racket that company has going. The doll clothes cost more than what I paid for my daughter's clothes! We went to the store and they had a hair salon for the dolls. Unreal.
