Buying a Doll
So sorry I haven't been able to afford to set up this site to be an actual store yet! I am so eager for that day. Alas for now, to buy a doll from me, read the options below:
Via Instagram
​
Send me a message to let me know which services fit your needs and I'll make a private invoice for you via PayPal. Then I'll provide my address so you can send me the doll you want work done on. I ship via PirateShip for the cheapest shipping prices.

Via Etsy
You'll find that my Custom Doll listing is all set for you. You'd provide the doll (whether it's one you already own or have just purchased & is your choice whether you want to send the full doll or just the head) & select the various services like toppings at a Subway. Mind you, Etsy takes out a really big fee, which it doesn't tell me ahead of time what exactly that amount will be that I'll actually receive. Plus there's State Tax which I've been told is also a lot! So... I personally don't recommend this route.

Via Mercari
Sadly this site doesn't have an option for a custom listing. And the messaging system is incredibly limited in what we can say & doesn't allow photo sharing which is a much needed tool so you can provide references of what you want & I can share updates on the doll. The nice thing about this site is that it tells me upfront (when choosing the price) exactly how much I will earn. So I can keep modifying the top price til the number underneath it is the amount I wish to receive for my work. However, this route still would charge you for state tax which is no fun for you. And, you'd be paying more because of having to overcompensate for the Mercari fee. So although I do list some dolls here that I've made of my on volition, I still recommend the PayPal Instagram option.

Does anyone use this anymore? I know I don't, but for some reason I keep it like that thing you come across when cleaning & wanna toss but you just store it in the garage in case there's an apocalypse - ya never know, right?

​
Also, someone else made a discord for any AG collectors who would like to join. Whereas my discord would be just another database to communicate with me regarding customizing dolls with me and maybe even sharing videos of the process.

And if you don't have discord, here's the link. Personally, I much prefer the private messaging system and the ability to create multiple text chat & voice chat categories in the server.
