Re: Edison Doll On Ebay
WOW! The price sure is low. Is this really an original Edison doll? And who makes the reproduction mechanism?

Re: Edison Doll On Ebay
A couple different mechanisms were replicated several years ago. The one with this doll is the better of all that were replicated. These mechs are no longer available. This doll is correct...I can assure you. I am very curious about the seller though.

I know what it should go for. I know this doll, however.
I am not confident this listing is legit.

Re: Edison Doll On Ebay
The seller does have 110 past transactions, which is good, but the low 94.1% positive feedback is a red flag. I would not buy anything expensive from someone with a rating that low and that will likely put a damper on the price.

I can assure you that the photos used for this listing were lifted from somewhere else.

Re: Edison Doll On Ebay
I have sent messages to the seller asking if I may come to inspect the doll. Also asking if I may pick her up in person, if purchased, rather than it being shipped.
No response. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
