American Girl Estate Sale Finds!

Let's face it...American Girl stuff is expensive! So we try to find ways around the prices. Some ways are eBay, or the American Girl Benefit sale. But not all of those are reasonable. The benefit sale is in Wisconsin and not every body can go there but on eBay the prices are too high! I don't usually look on craigslist for AG stuff. So what do I do? I go to estate sales! I have been to three estate sales in search of AG stuff so far. A couple of them I had good luck but one was a total bust. But that's just what happens with estate sales. 

So on to the estate sales. The first one I went to had the most stuff. I got Molly, a bunch of Molly outfits (Molly's Afterschool outfit, Miss Victory, Plaid Jumper, etc.) I also got a bunch of Samantha outfits but no Samantha doll (Play Outfit, Meet Outfit, Holiday, etc.). A few Kirsten items were also bought. Such as her nightgown. Pictures below!

Second Estate Sale!!
This estate sale was not one of the good ones. the only thing I got was Samantha's Doll Clara.
Here she is! So pretty!
Well anyways you are probably asking: "Kate, why was it a total bust?" Well it wasn't very good because I could have gotten a Samantha doll! Now you're going: "But you have one already..." well, we're getting to that. The reason it was bad was because the Samantha doll I could have gotten was stolen by an old man. Yep. That's right an old man. Grrr. Well that's over so...
Third Estate Sale!!!!
Yay! This one was one of the good ones. Ok, so, I got Samantha and Kirsten here! Yay! 
Samantha Parkington in my video! 
So I got Samantha and Kirsten for $30 each and then I got Samantha's Trunk for $60 and A bunch of outfits for like $10 each. Yay! That's about it that I got at estate sales up to this day, but I will keep updating you on everything! Stay tuned and stay awesome! -Kate
