sindy and barbie dolls £2.99 each

hi, i don't know how cheap this is (but i'm sure they cost more than that when i was a child lol!) but i saw dolls on sale for £2.99 in the post office, they're 'spring specials'. i bought a barbie doll 2 months ago for a little girls birthday, it was a fruity friend thing, a barbie doll smelling of fruit with a fruit scented belt for the little girl to wear, the doll had dark brown skin. they still have those but this week they also had another barbie doll and also a fairy princess sindy doll, the sindy looked really nice. this post office is a main branch in my town centre.

    My local Netto has sent out fliers this week with Barbie dolls, Action men and My Little Ponies in for £2.99

    I wondered if it was worth buying some and putting them on Ebay! Then I thought again and said maybe not.

    Great price for birthday pressies though.

    i spotted the fairy princess sindy dolls on ebay and they're not selling, not even for less than £2.99. they look great though and i bought one to put in the 'random present box' i keep with kids presents when i see them cheap, somebody is bound to have a birthday this year and will appreciate a sindy doll :-)

    My 7 year old who used to be Barbie crazy 3 years ago, won't even mention them now. They have certainly lost favour since the Bratz were launched. She says that Barbie is so 'uncool' now.
