Original Listing Description

eBay This auction is for the 2010 Gold label edition Barbie Fashion Model Collection Mila Silkstone doll, with original stock # T7672 in NRFB (Never Removed from Box) condition! BTW, her name “Mila” appears in Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian cultures originally as a diminutive of Slavic names containing the element milu "gracious, dear". Bet your average Silkstone Collector never knew that fun fact J. This ESTATE SALE consignment was previously owned by an adult collector. This doll was viewed shortly after her purchase, but never removed from her box. The original owner stopped purchasing silkstone dolls, or so I was told because the owner swore off buying factory-damaged dolls at such a high price point (Nicolai from the same set was severely stained by his original costuming). Thus, her tissue was closed, the ribbon seal shut and her box closed until we acquired her for sale. The doll and her costuming are in factory mint condition, as are her accessories: Stand, Certificate of Authenticity and Original Care Instruction card. The printed pattern of her satiny skirt, vest and matching headscarf are deep and richly colored—no fading of any kind is evident. The highly reflective fabric looks weirdly textured with flash photography, but not so in person. Her facial paint is very vibrant, especially her pretty, bright blue eyes which contrast with her two-toned lipstick, painted in a way which is representative of the Russian Nesting dolls which inspired her design. Her box shows mild shelf wear and a long crease on the bottom corner of the box lid, which is readily visible in a number of the photos. The slick, rich scarlet red printing is still very nice and glossy, but does have a few white imperfections from the printing process. A few cloudy or faded illusionary flaws show in some photos caused by dust and my finger-prints during our listing process which are non-existent in real life. These high-gloss boxes attract dust from static electricity in my home environment (AZ is a VERY dry state, worse as it gets colder). Rest assured the box is clean. Take advantage of combined shipping today by purchasing both Mila and her sister doll, Verushka! AND SHE’S WAITING TO NEST WITH YOU! Please view All Photographs, as they should be considered an important part of the description. Ask Questions early. This is a No-Reserve auction. Bid with Confidence. Thanks for Looking : ) YES! I DO Combine on Shipping for Multiple Auction Item Winnings! If you win multiple items, please request an invoice before making payment—the system does NOT discount for combined items—I recalculate combined invoices manually since box sizes vary so much. I strive to be as honest as possible in my descriptions, but I am neither expert nor appraiser, so do not assume if something unmentioned could be important to you, please. Please Note: While I personally do not see any significant issues with this item, I make no guarantee as to the dust- or pet-free allergenic nature of auction items, since they are acquired from many different sources. I request every auction winner contact me within 3 calendar days after the auction closes regarding any delays. Payment by Paypal is expected within 7 calendar days. I reserve the right to relist and to file a no payment case as needed. I will accept a payment delay if you are bidding in other auctions AND YOU LET ME KNOW. I also understand that sometimes things come up unexpectedly. Again, please LET ME KNOW. I am extremely patient but I do get a bit ticked off when a bidder does not pay AND does not bother to communicate. I Do NOT use automated reminders, SO, if you receive a message, Please Respond! If you prefer Postal Insurance, or a more expensive, but faster service, please let me know and I will send a new invoice with a corrected total amount. You are responsible for choosing a service that best suits your needs. I ship packages generally within three business days and typically offer choices which include less expensive but slower services, so please do not rate me poorly for the delivery speed based on a service you have selected. I do not profit from shipping & handling fees! In some RARE cases, my shipping quote may be based on an average carton size. If I find I can reduce the shipping costs after an auction closes, I may send an invoice with a new, lesser amount, but never more than the listing indicates. I now ship to most destinations Worldwide, but there are before you bid if you are unsure. Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/ buying.
