There's a person on the DOA marketplace who has an Elfdoll June<\/a> for sale. She's a 58cm, single-jointed BJD from 2009, "no damage," coming with default faceup, wig, eyes, box, earrings. As you can see, she originally sold for $500.00 + s\/h, but the seller has listed her for $180.00 + s\/h.<\/p>\n

That's the first thing I don't understand. The secondary market for Elfdolls is pretty soft in general, especially compared to, say, that of Volks or Soom, but other Junes have gone or are going for at least $350.00, more like in the $400s. Why is this one so cheap?<\/p>\n

And then there's the shipping quote. The seller says that priority shipping in the US will be "approximately $85.00."<\/p>\n

That's the second thing I don't understand. "Approximately $85.00" for shipping a BJD by priority mail in the US is patently false. For one thing, you could unstring her and stick her in a large flat rate priority box, which, with insurance for $200.00 and delivery confirmation, would come to a total of $19.10. For another thing, even if her box were oversized [say, 36"x12"x12"] and 8 pounds [which is overestimating everything], priority shipping from California to Vermont with $200.00 of insurance and delivery confirmation would come to a total of $70.20. $70.20 =\/= "approximately $85.00."<\/p>\n

It's kind of despicious. >_> I suddenly feel a great desire to rescue this doll from her current owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
