I wonder if coating the hair in petroleum jelly would protect it during peroxide soaking?  Or some other substance?

  Of course then the question is would the petroleum react in any way with the peroxide? 

  I really appreciate this thread, as I love to clean items but have often pondered the implications of "restoration" and long term changes they might cause.  I don't have any clear answers, of course, but I do worry we might look back one day with regret on various fixes that seemed harmless at the time.  I think these discussions are great and I use them to help guide my cleaning practices. 

Thank you both!  I didn't try to change the auction since it already had bids, and fortunately it was won by a U.S. bidder.

I had no idea the GSP re packed people's items.  I will definitely be opting out in the future

That's gorgeous!

Hi all,
     
   I have a question about an auction of my own and Ebay's global shipping program.

     I have been contacted by a bidder in Australia (I live in the U.S.) who is asking if I will change the shipping from priority to standard to save money.  However I didn't set the shipping- Ebay's global ship program did.  Can this be changed or is it something EBay decides?
    Also, are there any potential downsides if it changes from USPS priority to standard? The auction is not a pony and is likely to go highish (40.00?).  Would standard still have tracking and insurance?

 Thanks!

Hurray!  It's a history making day and I'm so glad to see it.

Hmm, well def head/body mismatch but only one tiny spot that might be cancer.  I can post a pic tomorrow and you can see if you can use this one.

   Hi all.  I'm hoping someone here will have an idea of what's going on with a non-pony Ebay purchase 

   On Dec 6th I won a 18" doll kitchen table for a good price.  A few days later it was marked shipped with tracking.  Then, I saw that it was 'delivered'.  Of course it wasn't delivered, it was still in Florida, where it was shipped from. And, there is now a second tracking number that shows it 'in transit'.

   I contacted the seller yesterday and s/he said that they had printed the wrong label but then printed the right one the same day. 

  My biggest concern is that the second tracking number still only shows the package in Florida, and while it technically say 'in transit' the package hasn't progressed all week.  I live in Oklahoma, and this package isn't getting any closer.

   Also, I'm not sure how you can mess up a paypal label- it prints the address and everything right there.  And if you printed a new one the same day, why did the only tracking number show up to me (the buyer) at all.   

  So I have two tracking numbers, one shows delivered, and my package isn't moving.  Anyone have any idea what is going on?  I've never run in to this before.  Also, can I call the post office and ask about it, since I have the tracking number?

MiRaja,  those girls are truly lovely!  The face molds are delicate and pretty.

Have any other AG fans been watching/participating in the sales?  I'm new to AG and long time collectors are all excited/worried because apparently they don't usually run this many/deep/type of discounts on items, especially historical ones.  I'd be interested to hear the opinions of those here!
