I have some questions in the shopping and selling relm.
And I apologize because I think this may be my first attempt at formatting text on here lol! And additional mini-rants.
Where do you guys go for your AG custom stuff?
I just took advantage of the BBeauty Designs sale and got some eyes and wigs. Doll of a Kind is also on my radar. Washable wigs sound amazing.
I'm working on doing an enhanced pleasant company doll, and I want to call her Turbo Kirsten. My friend says this is not a good idea. She obviously doesn't know what she's talking about. 😂
I am looking for a less toxic alternative to MSC. Suggestions?
What about retired accessories?
Like, I just got my sweet Lea I've been wanting so bad and I want her collection, Lord help me lol! And it's silly, but I kind of like things like paper dolls and craft sets. So, what's your poison?
What would you recommend for best prices, honest sellers, basically getting what ya want? Ebay, Mercari, Poshmark, large FB AG groups (which I've had meltdowns twice now and stomped off/left because of shitty people lol...), local Facebook market place? Somewhere else?
I buy and sell on Mercari sellers are so flippin dishonest! I feel like I'm at a real disadvantage as a seller for trying to not be a complete d!ck.
Do you guys have favorite Etsy shops or otherwise super cute non-AG clothes you like? Asking for funsies and because I need amazing outfits for my customs.
Those of you who have achieved Berry status and have limited income, do you have any advice? Lol
Selling and Having a Shop
Speaking of selling on Mercari, I have been struggling with my dolly shop. I know I should be doing things differently, but I'm so exhausted and it takes a lot of work. I have some stuff on Etsy too, but that's another SEO ballgame. So I just want to do my own website maybe? I'm working on a shopify. I feel like I should just be investing in learning the dot com game and klaviyo instead of Etsy.
I have found people care about clean, professional pictures very much as well as packaging. Doll boxes are going to cost at least $6 dollars to make. People are not going to go for that. So I'm working on little wrist booklets.
Ideas on how to diy display boxes with cardboard...and hey, maybe fabric?? That would be special.
I should just dropship makeup brushes...
Basically the point of this post is, how do I human? What is the secret to being a functional adult? Ideas welcomed 😂😂😂
And I forget what else I was meaning to ask.
Someone take me to the beach.
