Thank you so much for the information. Read the rules, feel ready to roll out!

Hello,

I have a doll I've found in the possessions of a deceased relative (I'm using his login here).

Do you know if anyone wants it for free? I want to get rid to a good home and it seems like a bother to dump it.

I am in NW England and they'd need to collect ASAP.

There is another doll that's not new it was his main doll and shows a bit of wear and tear but is dressed in a onesie it would be a pain to remove.

To the the heirs of Jenkins, my sincere condolences to family and friends.
It's always sad if a member of the community passes away.

Of course we like to help to give his dolls a good new home. I'm quite sure this is what he wished.

Best is to post an ad in the For Sale section: viewforum.php?f=128
Please try to follow the For Sale rules as much as possible, although we do understand if you're not able to comply to all. Please refer to this post so it's clear.
We have to ask to have at least one picture of each doll having a note with the user name and date in it.

If you have further questions, please send me a private message: ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=34223

Thanks for that, advert posted.

Nescio50,

Thanks for your help. The doll is going to a local person who is currently doll-less, exactly what I'd hoped for.

Beware, hopefully within the next few hours, you may see a [first] attempt at a [first] FOR SALE posting. I've the TDF template and will follow it but if there are any suggestions on avoiding pitfalls, snafus and typical-but-avoidable violations of the seller's realm, and common to first-time posters, please chime in. REAL DOLL2. Will be selling as used, but only because of the "driven off the lot" unwritten rule regarding sells of just about anything. She's actually not been driven any further than off the lot (California point of sale) and onto a waiting flatbed (UPS), for delivery; then taken carefully to her new home here in Texas........ Thanks!

NVM. Just saw post from Nescio50 to Jenkins, and where to post new sales. (viewforum.php?f=128) Thanks!

question for you TDF veterans: Should I create/generate a Doll Gallery or similar, before attempting to sell a doll and posting individual pics? Thnx (be gentle....I don't scuff easily, but I do bleed....lol)

I think it could help in order to generate interest.
Of course you will still have to post the required pictures in your sales post. But after that, you can add other pictures to the sales post as well.
So you show the ones that are required and then as many others as possible in order to show your lady at her best. Or at least that's what I would do.

Hello, I understand I cannot post to Sales or wanted Items, but I am not being able to reply to wanted items.

While I understand and have no problem with the rationale for the rather limiting template required for the Sale section, I might suggest adding a small description box with a adequate but limited number of words allowed. I think that this would give buyers a better sense of who and what they are dealing with, and because of the word constraints, it should not clutter up the section. Just a thought...

Hi, I've entered my 5 comments/posts. I was interested in posting an item up for sale.

Greetings and welcome.
I'll take this comment to make one as well.
This was your 7th post.
One of your 6 previous posts was not really showing an interest in meaningful participation( too few words, just emoticons or some such) and was therefore disapproved.
The other 5 post were OK and hence approved, so you can now go on and do what you intended.
As those initial posts are moderated it may take some time between you posting them and one of the moderators going through them, so some patience is required.

Kind regards.

Is it ok to post an item for sale 1 or 2 months after the date the item picture was taken with the required member name and date sheet? Is there any time limit or just “reasonable” amount of time?

Hi vavoom, personally I wouldn't approve outdated photos on a new ad. The photos should be current(within a day or two) at the time of the ad placement. If an already placed ad sits for a couple of months and the images are outdated, then it's up to buyers to ask the seller for updated photos.

Hope that helps.
