American Girl Dolls
With a history dating back to the mid 1980's, American Girl Dolls have become quite popular among todays young girls and doll collectors in general. Although some people frown on what they see as the over commercialism of the product, they remain on holiday wish lists. Wikipedia has a well written brief history of American Girl Dolls that you may want to check out.
If you are a collector of American Girls or if you have a little girl who wants to start collecting, eBay should definitely be on your "to check" list. The reason is that many times, the dolls themselves as well as their clothing and accessories get sold off in large lots by parents who want to clear out items their children have lost interest in. If you have priced individual dolls or outfits, you know how expensive they can be. Looking for these American Girl "lots" can often get you some massive savings over trying to buy individual pieces.
As with any doll, maintenance is sometimes needed if it is played with for any amount of time. I've gathered some useful do it yourself guides below for American Girl fans that might save a few dollars.

Where to find retired American Girl Dolls
If you are one of the millions on a quest for a particular doll, it can be difficult to find them locally. This is one item that eBay is great for locating. Of course, you should read each auction carefully and always ask any questions you might have before bidding.
