I am not sure if this is allowed, but I wanted to share a few awesome American Girl thrift finds that I had this year. I am a part of an AG group on Facebook and posted this there as well.
Okay… a few months later and I’m still in shock. My thrift store will maybe get an AG book or two in a YEAR…I saw a Truly Me doll there about 5 years ago, naked, sharpie eyeliner, behind the counter for $45 (and this was on a half price day, to boot)…and they usually sell OG dolls, naked, hair cut and sometimes missing a limb or something for about $8-$14 (just so you know where I’m coming from).
I stopped in that day because I was driving past it and two weeks previous I got Julie’s meet book, so I thought “why not?”.
I found the meet books for Felicity and Rebecca this time and didn’t want to push my luck but checked the doll aisle anyway. I found a small bag of AG accessories for $50 (didn’t end up getting it), a few Descendants dolls with almost everything on them (yes, I did get them) and an AG horse that did end up making it’s way back to my home…and then I saw The Feet poking out… I’m thinking to myself “no, I can’t be that lucky in this store”…and guys!!! Behind the horse was Blaire…and below him was a BeForever Kit….for $12 EACH!!
Okay, the lowest I’ve EVER gotten an AG doll on eBay was $34 with shipping…. I’m in shock and when I tell you I hightailed it outta there with them as soon as I looked and made sure there were no more Feet poking out anywhere…. that’s NEVER happened to me before!! And then the next week I went and picked up the AG Clydesdale horse for $10 and a late 90’s/early 2000’s Kirsten with almost her full meet outfit for about $9…I’ve also gotten a few more AG books since then. I just wanted to share my excitement and ask, what are your awesome Thrift Finds? I know people have found dolls for less but I am absolutely PUMPED on finding and fixing up dolls like this. How about you?
That’s awesome! I love a good thrift find. My best AG moment was a dressed Addy for $25
