SOLD $439.99 Sold: Sep 10, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Up for sale in this listing is Platinum Label edition US Convention Barbie Fashion Model Collection Doll with stock # DKN08 and 2015 box date. She’s SO exclusive, in fact, her designer, Robert Best didn’t bother giving her a name during the A Pop Art Happening Convention during the summer of 2016 in Jacksonville, FL. This doll is pristine, DEAD MINT. The Silkstone ribbons were opened by me for the first time to photograph this enchanting beauty. While hardly anything Pop Art at all, nonetheless, as a BFMC Silkstone, she’s absolutely stunning with her platinum blond hair classically swept back and tied with a pale pink bow that matches its counterpart accenting the empire line of her two-toned gown. The gown is simple confection in white with a brilliant pink lace overlay focusing attention on a demure vee at the neckline and pleated wrap opening modestly tacked at the knee to avoid flashing the crowds. Her pale pink peep-toe pumps match the accent the bows. Long gloves complete the ensemble. Frosty pink lips, a hint of blusher, and silver glitter eyeshadow and heavy mascara focus all eyes on her light brown ones which coyly glance side-ways knowingly. There’s no extra frills or bling to distract from her, um, understated beauty, yeah, that’s it. The standard BFMC shoe box for the doll exhibit the only issues: a pair of small bends (looks like it was done during the factory folding as it does not cross the edge fold at all) along the lid edges, one on a long side, one on the topmost short side. There’s also what looks like a light scuff or color transfer of pink along the bottom edge of the lid. With all the pink at a Barbie Convention, who knows with what it may have come in contact (It’s probably removable with a regular or magic eraser, but I will leave that the next owner). The Uber-pickiest box collector might have an issue here, but in every other respect, it would be hard to find better than this. Our photos speak for themselves! AND SHE’S WAITING TO JOIN YOUR OTHER SILKIES TO BE ADORED! 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. I use the Priority Mail International service only on international orders for tracking and insurance purposes. Thank you!
