Yes it do, and there are definite advantages in agreeing to take your Mom and your Aunt (both rather elderly and non-drivers besides) out to the flea market on a Saturday not too far from Christmas so they can shop for stocking stuffer toys. We spotted 2 Barbie Basics (black dress series) still in the box on some woman's table and my cagey aunt (Who's brain is anything but elderly!) talked her down from $8 a pop down to $6 and she bought them for me besides!
The funny thing is I really love them. They're 2 of the girls I've been wanting and that given money in my pocket I'd have bought for myself if I'd seen them on the shelf discounted at TJ Maxx or something. I'm getting quite a little crew of these.

I have to switch out the bodies, not much of a Model Muse fan, but it's nice having some of these interesting faces around. Mackie brunette, bags, poofy black dress, pink ribbon and the AA one with the long blond hair from the first black dress collection. They're both just beautiful.
I still want that BB blonde guy something bad. I've got more than a bit of a Blaine fetish. I really like that face. I'm hoping I get him for Christmas but if I don't I may just have to go there eventually. He's a "must have" for my Basics collection. But so far I've not seen him discounted at all. I usually wait until I can get them for almost half off but I might not in his case. Or maybe I'll grab him and strip his clothes off sell those online. I'm not that crazy about his outfit that I wouldn't split...
