1. 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.

How long did secondhand market shopping take?

Nov 8, 2025

    1. I browse here, Mandarake, Dollyteria, and the bjd sales Instagrams almost daily. I check in on the Facebook bjd sales groups 2-3x per week, and check Discord sales about once a week. I've had the most luck here, Mandarake, and Instagram for buying, but I have the best luck selling on Facebook.
       
    2. It varies greatly. Sometimes it took a lot of patience, other times I found a treasure early on.

    3. It's been about a year since I started looking actively, and I expect it to take a few more. Three times I've been unlucky and messaged a seller only to hear that someone else beat me to it just a moment prior.
      But such is life, and patience is one of my virtues. The wait makes the reward all the sweeter :3nodding:
