ryanreactsOkay, so obviously I have been using eBay to purchase my ink & paper hardcover Harry Potter books --- and because eBay is eBay, they have been suggesting some other things I could spend money on.
Like dolls.
Not just any dolls, but some of my childhood favorites!
They first caught my eye with 1990's Babysitter Skipper. When I was a kid my sister and at least one cousin had the blonde version of this doll, so I remember playing with her a lot. But I'd prefer the Black version, who I've found for as cheap as $55 plus $10 shipping, which is not bad at all for a vintage doll in the box.
And then there is Skipper's best friend, Courtney. Along with her Pizza Party doll (more on her in a minute), this one is the reason Courtney is one of my favorite Barbie characters in the history of ever. Seriously one of my favorite dolls of all time. And she's also available for around $50 still in the box. As soon as I saw her I was seriously tempted to order her right away even though I had already spent about that much money on books.
When you search for Pizza Party Courtney, the first result is only $33.20 --- and again, this doll from the nineties is still in the box. That price is so good. Augh, seriously, I am fighting the urge to order her right now. Especially with my birthday coming up soon.
I also had the blonde Pizza Party Skipper, and might get her again, but would rather have the Black doll. She's about $80, which still seems worth it for a boxed vintage doll.
Okey-dokey, on that note . . . if I kept searching I could probably find even more good deals on dolls from the nineties, but I'm already tempted enough by these four, so I'll just post this and close all tabs and shut down my laptop.

Oh, someone is selling the blonde one in a lot with Courtney and Kevin for $95 plus $18 shipping. I don't know about that, though. I did have Kevin when I was a kid, so it would be nice to have him again, but I want him less than the girls. Plus, it looks like all three of them are missing a few of their pizza-tastic accessories?
Omfg, eBay even has the Pizza Party playset for less than $150. Okay, that one is easy to resist. I mean, it is cute and I would love to have it for photo shoots, but obviously I Do Not Need It At All.Okey-dokey, on that note . . . if I kept searching I could probably find even more good deals on dolls from the nineties, but I'm already tempted enough by these four, so I'll just post this and close all tabs and shut down my laptop.
