If you have a child between the ages of 8-12 there’s a good chance they’ve mentioned the American Girl Dolls. Although the dolls themselves are pretty expensive at about $95, through a number of deals online, you may get lucky and find not only the doll, but the American Girl accessories at a discount as well.
American Doll Accessories on eBay and Craigslist
You may have some reservations about buying your child a used doll from eBay or Craigslist, but anyone with children is aware of how quickly children lose interest in toys. Some children may become attached to their American Doll and want to drag it all over town, others will open it up and play with it a few hours and then move on to their Barbie or PlayStation. Many parents resell their American Dolls simply because of the initial cost and you can very easily find one that is almost new on eBay or Craigslist. As with any purchase online, use caution when purchasing, as there are many imitation American Girls available.

Check the website for an American Girl in your area. American Girl stores are currently located in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Boston and Minneapolis.
