American Price Check needed for lots of Sig dolls (solved! thx!)

[Zapper]

Hey ghoulies!

You know what's awesome? Making a good friend crazy for Monster High.
You know what's not so awesome? Said friend suddenly wants to buy way too many dolls (that are more expensive in Germany than in the US). I'm talking the Sig versions of:
-Rochelle
-Robecca
-Venus
-Skelita
-Jinafire
and maybe
-Operetta
-Spectra
-Nefera

Can you friendly people give me a Price Check for these girls? I guess Spectra and Oppy are more expensive in the US by now, but my friend isn't looking for the first releases anyways. Second releases do the trick. She also doesn't want the boxes.
All of these dolls are between 20 and 40€ here and my friend really shouldn't spend that much money right now (she totally would live on water and bread for a month if that would guarantee her a bunch of MH dolls all at once x__x).
She's hooked and it's my fault

We'd love to find out if finding a nice person to go doll-hunting for her in the US is cheaper than go doll-hunting in our region of Germany. Help us out, plz ^^ Thank you!

PS: Recently we found two Scaris Deuces and hid them in the toy store like idiots
So in case our hiding technique worked out we could still get them and maybe trade for some of the Sig girls she wants?

UK ebay prices are similar to US, I seem to find the going £ rate is also the going $ rate...!

-Rochelle £20 MIB Ebay UK BIN.
-Robecca £16.99 MIB Ebay UK BIN.
-Venus £16.99 MIB Ebay UK BIN.
-Skelita £20 Complete Loose Ebay Auctions
-Jinafire £22 MIB Ebay UK BIN.
and maybe
-Operetta £22 MIB Ebay UK BIN.
-Spectra (original) £30 Complete Loose Ebay UK Auction - I have one complete mint loose, I'd be looking for ebay prices if you're interested in purchasing!
-Nefera £25 Complete Loose Ebay UK Auction.

Hope this helps!

Buy on german ebay or watch for REAL/TRU sales is all I can say.
Maybe not with Nefera & Spectra, as they are since gone from store and thus more expensive.

BUT with the recent increase in USPS postal charges and the € most likely going downhill again after the italian election pretty soon, you'll pay MORE for them in the end. Even with the current conversion rate they come out about equal. (which sucks - I used to be huge on importing.. now I rather wait on sales. Check mytoys.de, too. They mostly sell for less there and they have a bunch of those that you mentioned right now)

[Zapper]

Thanks, Icy and Kim!

Yes! I just checked out MyToys and there happens to be a sale and we've got great access to the store IRL (sadly not to TRU), so we can look for the nicest faceup.
My friend will get at least two new girls in a few days (I won't allow her to get more)

[Fräulein_Kim]

You.. you got.. there is a mytoys STORE? Lucky you!
I plan on ordering Scaris Rochelle & Frankie there and am already nervous about it because of the eyeeeeeees. :c Luckily they pay the shipping on returns..

Anyways, with dolls no longer for sale the US still is best option sometimes. Or UK. It's worth to compare prices beforehand but always factor in shipping + custom fees. :<

[Zapper]

Yep, the store is in Stuttgart

Want me to check faceups for you?
I once ordered a Sig Abbey there because I was too lazy to take the train. I wrote to them that in case of wonky eyed I'd immediatly return the doll and buy somewhere else. I got a great-looking Abbey

[Fräulein_Kim]

Usually they've been good to me as well.. but last week I got an AWFUL ST Frankie.. had to exchange her. :,<

Oh, if you don't mind!! I'd need just those two.. I didn't want them 'til now, but errrr.. for €22 each it's hard to say no.

[Zapper]

I'll see if I can find two pretty ones and have them put back for you

[Fräulein_Kim]

And then I just write them Frau X. put them on hold for me when ordering?
Ah, this is getting OT, I'll PM you later. ^^

Anyways, hope your friend can find some dolls she wants there. And cheap(er). ;D

[Pony_Mommy]

I just bought Nefera new for $20 off of Amazon like 2 weeks ago, Skelita, Jinafire, and even Rochelle are all still on store shelves by me. I recently paid $20 for a Sig Spectra loose as well. Not sure about the others.

[Zapper]

Thanks, Pony_Mom!
I think when it comes to Nefera we will have to rely on ebay for sure.

And then I just write them Frau X. put them on hold for me when ordering?
Ah, this is getting OT, I'll PM you later. ^^

I can ask if that's possible. But I was thinking of putting them back for you, you transfer the money to my bank account and I just pick them up for you when i'm in the city again (I go once or twice a week).

Err, she already ordered another doll for 30€ - Robecca

[Fräulein_Kim]

Nooooo! She must send it back - Robecca is €19.99 at mytoys! 0^0!

Aaah! OK I get it now! xD
If it isn't too much hassle for you I'd really appreciate it! *v*
