Perhaps I’m not any too sure of myself at the store today because
the weather changed. Why’s that you ask? Arthritis, Bursitis, and old age wave their
flags at me when the weather takes a change.
I try not to complain, but this change my right arm was frozen in
time. No lifting, and little typing for
me.
The kind man, Bob, who does the pricing two days a week has
delegated this job to me while he’s gone for a month. I can price the books comfortably. I can sort all the things that come in to the
back room comfortably, but pricing the good things like Anne and Andy give me
pause.
I price most things one to three dollars higher than Bob
does. These dolls are priced at seven
bucks each…I probably would have put them more in the 10 buck each range. Then
again, seven is a fair price for these extra large dolls on eBay. I was a bit amazed that an Anne and Andy
lunch box…with thermos, is going for forty five dollars. But what do I know.
I do know these are a good doll for small girls. By the time they reach seven years old, they
are past Barbie into horses now-days.
Maybe I’m a small girl. G said
Lessa didn’t need them for her girl.
Darn. I liked them.
I still have my Raggedy Ann hiding in my closet. The grandgirls would like to play with her but her fabric is getting fragile. She must be over 65 and nothing lasts forever
ReplyDeleteThose are especially nice examples of Raggedy Ann and Andy Ware. (He was not originally called Raggedy Andy, and I don't know who started that.)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere around ten -- give or take a couple of years -- girls realize that no doll is as much fun as a baby or animal that really breathes and reacts.
I would prefer a horse or a dog.
I never had these dolls, and I know that screwed me up big time.
ReplyDeleteI love these dolls. My granddaughters were never very fond of dolls. What gives these days? I love all dolls, except Barbie. I had a doll collection when I was younger. Dianne
ReplyDeleteRaggedy Ann and Andy - I have my regrets over those dolls. Julie asked more than once to make a pair for her. If only I had.
