taconacho Posted January 10, 2013 What would be a fair price for just the head (eyes+faceup intact )? Or full doll but nude? @__@ I'm so scared to get taken advantage by scalpers so I'm not really sure what to look for >.< Still new to Dollfie Dreams... thank you :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted January 10, 2013 Head's probably worth about $350 with faceup and eyes. Head w/faceup and eyes + body would be worth about $700-750. Full set is about $1000. Yes, these are all market value prices. No, Saber Extra wasn't that expensive when she was first pre-orderable, but Dollfie Dreams don't tend to drop in value. They just go up. It doesn't matter if they're used or not. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taconacho Posted January 11, 2013 I've been looking at prices for a while but been so confused >.< I saw a few interesting deals on Mandarake and also saw Hypercurve's one. I'm really tempted by Hypercurve's sale though, unless I'm mistaken, they live fairly close from here and chances are shipping fees would be much better compared to if I bought overseas. I'm still debating on wich saber I want now though lol I bumped into a few pics of the alter saber while trying to find some Saber extras... Darn girl's got me so confused and indecisive lol They're both quite beautiful but it's not like I could get both xD ahhh Anyhow, thanks guys for the quick answers! It really helps! Up to now I know for sure I'll be avoiding ebay sales most likely, darn stuff is wayyy overpriced o.o" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinegamix Posted January 11, 2013 a full set saber alter v2 sold on ebay yesterday for 725 usd making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted January 12, 2013 a full set saber alter v2 sold on ebay yesterday for 725 usd That's just because that seller sells stuff for low prices. Basically she just sells stuff for what she paid (or less sometimes!). That's not an indication of how easy it's going to be to find the doll for that cheap.

taconacho Posted January 12, 2013 waw that's a pretty sweet deal! Been thinking about it some more though and I'm going to stick to preorders for Saber >.< As much as I hate waiting, I guess it might be best to have a fullset one for a little bit extra $. -sigh- Besides, knowing myself, as soon as I'd get her I'd be longing for her original outfit lol ( A little random but in your opinion, would you guys think that maybe the next release of sabers will have better bodies? Are the new DD3 bodies really that bad and prone to cracking? Volks usually has really great quality all around with their stuff so it's a bit of a let down to see that cracking is a recurring problem :C ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dollvari Posted January 12, 2013 All the pre-ordering was over long time ago, you will have to catch her aftermarket now. (Unless Volks USA has one, but I doubt it now) The earlier batches of the Saber's had the older internal frame parts, the later should have the improved version less prone to cracking. You can also purchase cool cat reinforcements for the older and newer frame so it should not be an issue. You would have to look at pictures of the frame to verify which one it is. If you happened to purchase just her head then you could go with a DDII body and skip the DDIII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taconacho Posted January 12, 2013 xD wow I feel so silly now! XD Whenever I was looking at them online on the volks website I saw "..will ship june 2012" xD I still haven't transitioned to 2013 it seems haha Got confused and was like "ohh that's still in a while" >///<" Not sure how I managed that! Guess I'll keep looking then Heck it turns out I might have to wait longer than I thought to get her though anyways ;__; Had the funds and all put aside to get her but long story short, doll funds had to be used for new replacement laptop T_T" Hopefully by the time I regain some more doll money, there'll be a good full set deal out @.@ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted January 13, 2013 All the pre-ordering was over long time ago, you will have to catch her aftermarket now. (Unless Volks USA has one, but I doubt it now) Actually, last I heard, Volks USA *still* has some Saber Extras at their store (maybe Saber Alter v2 as well?). These are dolls that people put down a down payment but didn't pay the rest of the cost. This is very recent that I heard they still had them - as of maybe a week or two ago. You could try giving them a call or email them to see if they're still in stock. Keep in mind that they'll only ship to North America (US, Canada, Mexico).

taconacho Posted January 14, 2013 Hmm that's always a possibility then I'll be sending them an email in the next weeks just in case Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Volks usually has really great quality all around with their stuff so it's a bit of a let down to see that cracking is a recurring problem :C ) No clue about if they'll improve the bodies, but my Nero had a shoulder that cracked pretty much straight out of the box, so I'd say they are prone to cracking. Fixed it right up with some polystyrene cement and the aluminium shoulder reinforcement from coolcat though. So I grabbed a few extras and any new dolls I get will get the shoulder reinforcement right away. Now with +/- 15% more uncertainty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
