Hmmm, my boyfriend's aunt knows I collect 6" vintage Pamela Love dolls so she brings some along for me sometimes - she's a flea market addict - and the cheapest I found myself was €0.50 (and I even found a few on a Spanish auctioning website for €1 NRFB once!!!). The other dolls I own range from $20 to $200.

Fro me that would be Yokozuna, the sumo wrestler. I bought him for a$1 in a used toy shop, and I loves him.

Not counting him, my Madam Alexander would be the cheapest. I think her purchase price was under $10. I found her at a Tuesday Morning store heavily discounted because she was missing her original box and half of her outfit. I've never been able to identify her proper title.

From all of my dolls the cheapest one is the one and only Monster High doll I have. Cleo de Nile dead tired version.
I costed the retail price, and price of a wig. Wig wasn't too expensive like $5, fur wig from Etsy. :3

"Being cheap doesn't matter! We are the most awesome dolls!!" Ya, she is showing off... 8D
Pic of her before I started the customising project. Now she is kind of bald, her wig hasn't arrived yet... 8D
She is very pretty compared to the fact of being "cheap"! I have to get more of these MH dolls. :)

From my Pullips the cheapest one is Zuora, who I got second hand. She totaled at something under $80, with shipping and stuff. :3 Zuora has not actually arrived yet, I'm still waiting for it. But it has been paid, so she still is the cheapest of the lot.

My BJD's... hmmm. I'm not really sure! I don't remember all the prices. Maybe my Fairygarden Ten Ten, she was around $180 with price of the doll, shipping and new eyes. Wig she doesn't have at all. x)

I bought on eBay an huge lots of about 25-30 mixed dolls (mainly Winx and Tanya) for 20 euro shipping included, to make practice in customizing. Unfortunately I had to throw away 5 or 6 dolls damaged beyond hope, but I recovered 5 euro selling a doll of the lot. Now I'm looking forward to the Christmas children flea market of my city, hoping to get some Monster's High and some accessories for my little Obitsus...

I have way to many dolls that I have picked up from here and there for a $1 or less from thrift stores. I really need to stop doing that because now I have way to many and haven't done much with them. Mostly these are Barbies or other 1/6 scale fashion doll types. But I did get a Gotz 18 inch doll a month ago at a thrift store for $4. She didn't look so great. Her hair was a mess and there were black marks on her legs and face. But got her home, cleaned her up and brushed her hair....she turned out to be a treasure and looks so nice now. You would have never guessed she looked so bad before. I named her Melody. So at the moment Melody is my cheapest doll that I felt I got for a steal. *grins* :D

I guess mine would be the $19 Monster High Cleo I bought online from Mattel. Shipping was free, so total cost was just the $19. After pouring megabucks into resins this seemed like a total steal!

I just bought my cheapest doll - a Little Pullip Seine that I got off of Yardsellr. The asking price was $10.00 with free shipping and I had $3.80 in credits. The Yardsellr charge was $1.00, so she ended up costing just $7.20. She's my first Pullip and I'm looking forward to seeing her!

I got my two dolls, Shaye and Candy secondhand from a friend.

Shaye:
27cm Obitsu female, blank head, with a long silver wig (which, btw, I am looking to trade)
$17+$8+$15=$40

Candy:
27cm Obitsu slim male, blank head with long blue rooted hair
$21+$15=$35

How much did I get them for?

Free~

My dear friend Marty had them in his basement and didn't want them, so he passed them on to me. :3 I squee'd like crazy.
