I love how the mnf fairyland minfee chloe looks, however. I was browsing ebay and the above listing came up. I think its suspicious, the person is a very new seller. More importantly.....their dolls are non resin......so before I bother this i wanted an experience opinion

Where does she state they're not resin..? I only see 'No res.' which probably means 'No reserve'?

I agree with Evelien, it probable means no reserve.

No res. means "no reserve"--a "reserve" is the lowest price you will accept for something. If someone has a reserve on their piece you can technically win the auction, but still not get the item because the reserve price was not met.

A word of caution - the seller has zero feedback. I know it's an issue we all face when we first start selling on Ebay, but when you are talking about hundreds of dollars, it's something to consider very seriously.

Indeed. Who starts selling on eBay without ever having bought anything there..? They must have made a new account for a reason? I might be a bit paranoid here but it's just a few things that sprung to my mind.

And they have two of the same doll listed! I wouldn't go for this one at all.

Also, the listing says she's located in the US (although it says BJD, United States, which is REALLY suspicious), but shipping estimate is late October. Why would it take so long to ship within the US? Unless she doesn't actually have the dolls on-hand? I'd be asking her lots of questions before considering buying. Like, why not list the actual state she's from, why such a long shipping date if she actually has the dolls there, ect...

Definitely a red-alert there.
