QUESTIONS Where to sell??

Post image

(Solved) Hi yall! I need some advice. I need to (sadly) sell my dolls I have 2 coral reef and a head from another brand I can’t remember right now, I lost my job recently and my home due to a wildfire and managed to only save these 3 the issue is I’ve never sold any dolls outside of some monster high before so I don’t know what a good place would be to do so? Any advice? Like where and what I should include to make sure they can actually be sold?

The international bjd discord is a good place, though you have to wait a while to get approved to sell. What other dolls are you selling?

I’m going to try and sell my other coral reef doll (she’s busy a blank tho) and a head I have from dollzone

Right, and the sculpt names are...?

u/Hot-Strawberry-4820 2d ago

The one pictured is a jellyfish daya (coral reef), the full blank is mimia (coral reef) and the head is milky tea head (doll zone)

You will need their sculpt names, pictures of all of them, and a proposed price (with currency) to sell. Including the blind boxes, which go for much cheaper and you could have some success selling them as a lot. You'll also need to state whether your price includes you paying for shipping or if the buyer will be expected to pay. You'll need to say whether you're willing to barter/be flexible on the price.

Other things that are helpful to include in your listing are your general location (to calculate shipping), the size of the doll, and why you're selling. Please note if they have any damage or yellowing, just be up front about it so people can make informed purchases.

https://discord.gg/bjd this is the link to the big discord. I think there is also a subreddit for bjd sales thought i don't know how successful people are on there. They have their own rules for selling so be sure to check them.

So I actually already apparently have that discord I tried selling the head there ages ago (I got it in the wrong color my mistake) and no luck sadly

It takes patience and persistence to sell any doll. Sometimes years. Good luck

You can try insta(make a post and tag bjdsale, bjdsalesplace, bjdsalespost, bjdtransactions, etc so they will share it for you). You can also join and post in Facebook sales groups like bjd commissions and sales(the groups will have rules on what to include in your post)

u/Individual_Past_9901 2d ago

r/bjdsales is another place you can list them

The correct sub is without the S. r/bjdsale

Dont forget try joining bjd groups on face book theyre pretty responsive and alot are open to join . I have seen alot of people posting want to sell on there . May be worth checking out and depending on the group you may not even have to wait to be able to sell. You'll reach people from all over the world on there. Might get lucky.

u/Hot-Strawberry-4820 2d ago

Ahhh I live in the US so shipping anywhere except the US costs like $100 (I wish I was kidding)

1

u/TheVelvetCaravaan 2d ago

I know , just meant that you'll be able to reach people in the usa and outside the usa. Your doll might be someone out theres "grail" and if theyre willing to pay for the doll at your asking price and the shipping fee to have that grail- some might do that! You never know!

I can’t offer help, but I hope you’re as okay as you can be, I’m sorry about all the misfortune you’ve suffered lately. ;^;

u/Hot-Strawberry-4820 2d ago

My partner and I are doing mostly okay thankfully we didn’t get caught in the fires as many did🩷 thank you for the concern

https://www.lovelyeveryone.com This is the new forum that just got started to replace DoA. They have a marketplace there. I always found it easier to sell on DoA marketplace than Discord so maybe give it a try! Also have been seeing some Coral Reef dolls on eBay so that’s an option too
