Proxy question

I've been busy and we might be moving again.  I am not sure details, but I wanted to find out if anyone knows of a good proxy person for Volks lotteries and/or FCS?  I don't use FB anymore, so that isn't an option for me.  I apologize if this is in the wrong area or off-topic.  

Thank you!

Try Japandolldirect! They're on Instagram and I believe they do lotteries, not sure about FCS. I've seen pics of dolls they've sent to people (both resin and vinyl), and some of them were limited/sold out, like Luka Mergurine, so I think they can get you dolls you missed from lotteries/click wars too!

It might be best to ask them though, they seem really nice!

I do NOT recommend JapanDollDirect, they are very untrustworthy and charge more than any other proxy, so I would recommend SophieBabyBear or Ayumist over them. The ‘dolls people missed out on’ they are literally just reselling from Mandarake and Dollyterria too after tacking a bunch of fees on, sites you do NOT need a proxy for. (More than once they have been caught pretending they actually have a doll for sale but it was just for sale on mandarake - even using the exact same listing photos, but for $150+ more) The main guy also can’t seem to actually understand Japanese so has to coordinate with people who can - on top of the extra time this adds, YMMV but I would personally consider language skills important for a proxy.) I would steer clear of them.

Anyway,

Sophie (specialises in Dream Choice, DD stuff, i’m aware she does other proxy stuff at events etc https://instagram.com/sophiebabybear?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Ayumist (specialises in FCS, SD stuff, other proxy stuff too including yahoo auction, xianyu and taobao) - I think she mainly operates on discord.

disclaimer: I am not a customer of theirs trying to promote them - in fact I’ve never had to use a proxy myself because I have friends who can do those things for me which I’m very thankful for - but plenty of my friends have used these two and they seem far more reasonable than JDD (not to mention their fees aren’t as ridiculous)

Sophie said she does any and all kinds of proxy stuff.

First time using Sophie's service, but the total for a DDS was $608, so the fee was about $90.

She's supposed to be getting me two tan busts, 2 more eyes, and two more wigs, and iirc the fee there is 15%.

Getting a DC-H-10. I've always loved @foo's Mayoi because her face is so cute, and I really wanted a DC-H-10 after seeing her, but mine is going on an adult body.

They have a promo image on a DD body and she looks awesome on the larger body: https://www.volks.co.jp/blog_nest/osaka/2021/05/18/014835.html?_ga=2.259944330.1222220172.1662257165-137554897.1660505531

So far Sophie's communication has been great.

I have heard about JapanDollDirect and do not plan to do business with them.  I heard they were a bit shady. 

I didn't think Sophie did Super Dollfie stuff?  I know I read she only did DD orders. 

I will also try Ayumist.  The name seems familiar, so I may be following her and didn't realize!

Thank you everyone for your help!  I feel a lot better now and can plan my future dolls! :) ❤️

I did not specifically ask about FCS, but you can always PM her and ask.

I will PM her when I get a chance.  Thank you! :)

Jumping in to say I've ordered 2 Dream Choice dolls from Ayumist, working with her is very simple. She had the best fees IMO. She'll also get D'Coords for you, she doesn't only do Super Dollfie stuff^^
