Where is the best place to get a used anthro BJD?

[tuneful87]

I've wanted one for some time, and I don't mind one that's been used or a bit beat up. Where are the best places to look?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

depends what you want to spend and what animal you're looking for. Is there something in particulr you're looking for?

I'm open-minded, and rather easily enticed. I do think the baby otter is cute. I realllly want the ram as seen in the link below, but it's very limited and super expensive. I want her so bad though. Should I totally splurge on her?

den of angels, definitely.
It's invitation only though.
I don't like to give out invites to people I don't really know but someone else on the arena should be able to help.

you need 50 posts and to be a member for 30 days before access though.


and just to go ahead and warn you, 300 is going to be about midrange for an anthro BJD... Expect to pay about 200 even for the lower range, you can go a bit lower with the little otter you want, a Dalsoo, those are about 130$

This sort like some sort of sorority! (FYI, this is actually Tuneful87 posting from the ANTM account...)

If you're in love with her and can afford her, I say go for it. I'm not very knowledgeable about BJDs and what's popular with them, but I'd guess that if she's so limited and expensive she may rise in price and be hard to find as time goes on. The opposite could happen, of course, or even something in the middle. It depends on if you're willing to risk that, imo. Plus you can always resell her later if you're unhappy with your choice.

Den of Angels is good for secondhand stuff.  I've always found it easier buying new, but if you want a DoA invite I'd be happy to send you one.  You don't get marketplace access straight away though.

Anyway, I'm not HUGELY into anthro dolls but I figured I'd a drop a link since more options are always better :> http://www.cocotribe.com/
They have a fair variety of amimals and if you're into weird skintones they do like... everything.  I plan on ordering a Ricci with mint skin soon <3 they're also relatively affordable as far as anthros go.  The absolute MOST it costs to get one is $220, and that's with faceup+fancy skintone+taller body.

And if you really like the ram, I think you should go for it.  Limited dolls shoot up in price, especially unique ones like that, so no regrets if you decide she's not perfect!

If you can afford her and really love her I would snap up your little sheep as soon as possible as she is limited to 30. Also unlike most dolls her price is the fullset price so she comes with a wig, eyes, makeup and clothes as well, hence the higher price.

Eeep! I really shouldn't have clicked that link! Bad Tuney!

There is also the Mushroom Peddler's anthro dolls. Her prices seem fairly reasonable too.

Ooh, I like this style a lot. Too bad the tabby in the seller's avatar isn't for sale!

Could someone help me with the ram that I like? It says that she has the option of having 'lady hands parts'. What does that mean? I like the hands she has in the photo. Also, do I want mobility legs? Not sure what that means. The only thing I don't really care for is the hooves, but I don't think there is a way around that...

[Prismatic]

Yeah I read about the hands/legs and had no idea what they meant, too...

That mushroom peddler is awesome, I saw the gargoyle and loved him, but the dragon in one of the gargoyles pics...MUST HAVE!!  Too bad it's not for sale :/

I'm pretty sure "mobility legs" for Dearmine means a jointed ankle.  So it's up to you whether it's worth the extra.  Personally, with hooves, I don't think jointing in the ankle matters, but that's me

I'm pretty sure the hands she has in the pictures are lady hands... I think it's just a different pose in the fingers.  Here's the separate listing for lady hands: http://www.dearminedoll.com/shop/prd_view.php?prdcode=1111120001
