Why don't I ever find things like silkstones at Goodwill? *cries*
Bjd-wise, the dodgy companies with desperate supersales win. A Customhouse SD kit for $89 plus shipping (and extra elastic and s-hooks to replace the crap she came with, but still, super-bargain for a doll I'd wanted for years); two Brownies for, I think, $88-ish plus more reasonable shipping probably bringing the price to slightly under the Customhouse - and fullsets to boot. Sia's clothes and wig cost more than she did, all told - my cheapest doll got the most expensive clothes!
Other doll wise... my Kellies. I had a Kelly addiction for a while, just a few dollars (although they are more expensive here than in the US, about $10-$15?) would lift a really bad day for the price of coffee and cake.
Oh, and Mei Mei, my mini Ddung knockoff. A few Hong Kong dollars, can't remember how much. They were being sold all over in Hong Kong, you couldn't move for them, and I thought they were the cutest things ever - I had no idea they were a knockoff of anything, just that they were supercute and I wanted one as a souvenir. I assumed they were a Chinese thing. Came home, and found both knockoffs and the real deal for sale here. But Mei Mei doesn't care that she's a knockoff, she's the cutest thing, and she stands on my desk at work and reminds me of the last overseas trip I will have for many a year.
