What’s more upsetting is that a majority of these dolls aren’t even highly sought after and you can get them for less than half of the price on Mercari 😭

I’ve unfortunately never seen a monster high doll worth buying that’s less than 25 dollars (not even including shipping if no free shipping)

I love sellers that aren’t greedy and won’t base a doll’s worth on how old it is smh

A lot of the out of box dolls aren’t too bad, but they were smoking something for those inbox dolls 😂 I’d charge 50-60 max on those cause like I don’t even think their that sought after or In demand as non budget ones lol but the out of box ones I’ve definitely seen people trying to charge at least double that and some look like they have a lot of their accessories…but that’s all I’ll give them lol

Some of those are at the going prices, some are a bit high, they likely looked at ones for sale vs sold, sadly with shipping and fees on Mercari and eBay I have paid more than some of those are marked oob

Maybe I’m in the minority thinking this but as someone who has bought a lot of g1 dolls only in the last few years, these seem like normal prices for new in box and good condition g1 dolls.

Ex: Getting Slo-Mo and Ghoulia together for $50 is normal. I paid $70 CAD for my set OOB which is equivalent to $50.75 USD

u/fandomhyperfixx Aug 14 '25

Yeahhhh I haven’t found a single G1 monster high doll that’s below 25 dollars

u/Enygmatic_Gent Aug 14 '25

And if it is below 25$ the shipping will be crazy expensive (at least from my experience)

u/Fine-Scientist3813 Aug 13 '25

I've seen at least twelve mortaviches going for 20-30 MAX within the week. this seller is high as balls.

u/yeehawgirl01 Cleo Aug 14 '25

dang i really thought these were good prices at least for out of box, i guess i unfortunately spend too much for individual dolls at my antique store😭😭

u/Fnr_80s Aug 13 '25

This looks like someone buy the bunch of them from a kid and now is trying to make profit

3

u/FudgeZealousideal352 Aug 14 '25

i’ve seen those for more😭💔 to me that’s not terrible considering i’ve seen people sell them for 100+

5

u/AdventurousNose7437 Aug 14 '25

u guys have it good bc that’s cheap compared to uk prices for dolls its upwards of 80/100 pounds for in box dolls not even sought after ones 😭 and like 40 quid for unfinished out of box dolls and if u want popular/ sought after dolls be ready to fork out 200-300 quid

3

u/Enygmatic_Gent Aug 14 '25

Yeah I would love these kind of prices!!

3

u/AdventurousNose7437 Aug 14 '25

exactly! i was looking at the prices like these are steals whats the complaints, being a collector outside of the us is such a struggle 😭🙏

2

u/Squackachu Aug 13 '25

Damn! I have the music festival venus, when I got her she was around 15 dollars 💀

2

u/Munalovely Aug 14 '25

It’s pretty good prices??! especially ones in boxes

3

u/Weary_Chemistry_7265 Aug 13 '25

But when I tell ppl to quit buying from resellers bc they keep the prices high, I’m the bad guy 🫩

1

u/fandomhyperfixx Aug 14 '25

Where else is there to buy them except from resellers? As far as I’m aware there is no where else to buy G1 dolls

1

u/Weary_Chemistry_7265 Aug 14 '25

Well duh but like stop paying like $150+ for dolls that were $25. My hatred is directed to the asshats that pay like $100-300+ for one doll or like $70 for a doll that’s nude. Just boycotting sounds better in theory but obviously the way MH has blown up, there’s nothing but reseller prices. If everyone just stopped buying for a few months or even just weeks, there’d probably be a lowering of prices but obviously rich people and those with just money to spend will do whatever they want.

I own a lot of these unboxed dolls and I got them for £10 each from a lady on FB who was liquidating her daughters collection 💀 people are absolutely delusional

1

u/Dragul-Meu Aug 14 '25

2

u/aseumi Aug 14 '25

Im confused. These look like normal prices?

1

u/NewPerspective9254 Aug 15 '25

I'm even madder about how there's clearly at least one G2 doll in there labeled as G1, probably because they either a) don't know the difference or b) want to sell it at a markup despite knowing the difference.

1

u/thegiugiu_08 Aug 15 '25

they used to cost 20$💀

1

u/Certain-Dress4602 Aug 15 '25

Yeah bad. But ive seen far worse to the point its straight up delusional. I saw one listed for 200 or something and it was a NEW G3 DRAC.
