Welcome to Barbi's Doll Bazaar!
As a long-time Staff Writer for the much-missed Barbie Bazaar Magazine, I’ve been involved in doll collecting since 1995. Many of the dolls being offered here in my eBay store are the actual dolls I photographed for my regular column, “Barbie Buyline”.
Most of these dolls are Special Editions no longer available except on the secondary market. They are primarily NRFB (Never Removed From Box) unless otherwise indicated. (MIB) Mint In Box on my listings means displayed but not played with. Dolls have been maintained in a shaded, climate-controlled, pet-free zone in a non-smoking home. I’m a selective collector so boxes are in overall excellent condition with minimal shelf wear unless otherwise noted.
New listings will be added almost daily with an anticipated final list of over 1500 items. Look for
VINTAGE, CONTEMPORARY, AND SILKSTONE BARBIE, CONVENTION DOLLS, INTEGRITY FASHION ROYALTY by JASON WU, TYLER/SYDNEY, GENE, MADAME ALEXANDER, JAN MC LEAN toddlers, among other favorites.
Fashions, accessories, and Hallmark ornaments will also be listed. While I offer a more varied selection and lower prices than most others, I generally have only one of each item.
Payment
: PAYPAL is the preferred payment method.
Shipping
:Tracking is included. I'm a careful packer & quick shipper and ship most business days. I welcome international customers with the understanding that their individual country's duty, taxes, customs fees are their responsibility.
Thank you for visiting my ebay store! Please check back often as I will be listing many more items.
