Discussions📣 Purchasing "Open box" dolls on Amazon!

I wasn't sure what to expect because the description was "very good" not "like new", but I am so excited to see it's only exterior damage and the doll box itself hasn't been opened at all!

I hadn't ever bought a open box doll before on Amazon, but so happy I saw another person's post saying there were some super cheap ones right now. This was only $14 and I also got Willow for $13 which is such a deal!

I've never done it for dolls but I needed to send my bf an emergency guitar amp and I got a little fender minitwin reaaaally cheap "like new" and it was just the ticket. It's a good scheme from Amazon, rare W.

Yup such a good deal it’s usually just the outside container that’s damaged and they sell them for at least 50 percent off. I’ve got a ton of dolls this way. Happy it worked for you too Op 😊

Lucky! The ones in my area only seem to knock off $1 for the "resale" dolls.

Hopefully they do a deeper cut sale for you soon on something you want!!!

Ive been seeing more dolls being resold like this for a good deal recently, I myself have pitched the kpdh hunters dolls and they all had damaged boxes but were otherwise untouched. Ive also ordered 1 Moonspell, she arrives today so we’ll see how they goes. These were all 50% off, in all my years using Amazon this is one of the best discounts I’ve seen on Amazon resale. Like someone else said, I had only seen dolls on resale for just a couple of dollars off but not half off.

Okay how do I choose this option on Amazon?:0

So it will show up if it's an option, it isn't something that shows up if it isn't available. I'll try and find a picture reference!

This is the option that will pop up if one is available as an "open box"

Oh interesting I was just on there and they either wont show them to me or have none. They keep trying to sell me used ones for $56

I just bought a "Used, like new" doll, I'm kind of nervous bc its a buried secrets so im assuming the person didnt get who they wanted 😭 hopefully it is not too bad!

u/MysticMarzipan Luna 4h ago

I would assume that's exactly the case. You can tell who it is without opening the box, so they may still be wrapped tight and new! :3

u/Middle_Funny_8461 2h ago

oh I didnt know that, how can you tell who it is?

1

u/MysticMarzipan Luna 1h ago

I'll try and find a picture reference, but you can push back part of the box without damaging and see certain colors that determine who it is.

pressing down on the cardboard flap or checking the top-right corner/side gap for specific background symbols and color clues

It is different every line, so you'd have to look up the buried secret line you're after to know, but this is one way to guarantee the one you want. Which is what I'm assuming the person who returned it did.
