| Retired American Girl Doll from 1991! | Like new in the box with outfits and accessories. Leslie Mills saved her pennies for two years to buy this doll when she was seven years old. But her savvy mom wouldn’t let her play with it, thinking that some day she’d be glad so she could sell it on Ebay for lots of money! Leslie prefers to donate it to UUCE! Here’s your chance. Ask Leslie for the whole story! This is Victorian girl Samantha Parkington in her original condition. Includes a special hair care kit for the doll. Has sold on Ebay for at least $100 so that’s the “fair value”. | 1 | 0 | .0005E7 | 50 | N | ||
