It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

A "standard" is a doll that is part of a company's normal stock. This means that the doll's sales are not limited to a predetermined number or time period.
Some companies may discontinue a standard doll, but this does not make the doll limited edition.
Resale
Depending on the popularity of the sculpt, standard dolls generally resell for approximately their original retail cost. Factors that may influence the resale cost of a standard doll are:
- Condition: Dolls that are damaged, yellowed, or sold by smokers will normally sell below their original retail cost.
- Customization: Desirable customizations (such as a beautiful faceup) may increase the value of a doll, while unappealing or very specific customization (such as permanent modifications) may decrease the value of a doll.
- Popularity: Unpopular dolls may be difficult to resell due to low demand.
- Market Saturation: If there are several of a doll available on the second-hand Market, price competition may require that the seller lower his or her price.
- Production schedules of the original retailer: Dolls made by companies whose production times are long or order periods are irregular may sell higher on the second-hand market.
- Shipping costs from original retailer: Inexpensive shipping or the presence of domestic distributors may decrease demand for purchases from the second-hand market. Unusually high international shipping may make purchase from the second-hand market more attractive to a potential buyer.
