Before you can buy a Blythe you need to decide which doll you want to get. I recommend starting by deciding on a hair colour. If you can choose the hair colour you want then it will be a lot easier to decide which doll to buy. There are loads of different hair styles, and even different face moulds for the different releases.

It is sometimes easier to just buy whichever doll is actually available. Even for a seasoned Blyther, hunting down a particular doll can take months if it is rare.

Neo Blythe is the type you are looking for if you want a full size one. Middie is a middle sized one. Dolls vary in price and availability. The price and availability of particular Blythe releases can depend on a number of things, number of dolls made, popularity, original price, stock. If a doll is extremely popular, like Miss Sally Rice, it will be a lot harder to find. Kenner Blythe dolls are the first Blythe dolls that were manufactured and sold in , they are very sought after and expensive collectors items.

The next release from was the BL mold. You should always pay for registration and pay through PayPal. Some sellers may ask you to pay as a gift in PayPal, I would not recommend doing this unless you know the seller as it negates your ability to open a dispute later on if they rip you off.

Make sure you discuss the terms of the sale with the seller. Some people offer lay aways for more expensive dolls and you can pay the doll off in intervals. They usually have a non-refundable deposit. If you want it right away, offer to pay for express postage. I have had dolls take anywhere from 2 days to 8 weeks, I am in Australia. You should also consider that you may be charged customs fees for importing the doll into your country.

Lying on your customs form is illegal and negates any insurance you have as the value entered is lower than the doll is worth. Remember to factor customs fees into your price and check your local government websites for information.

Once you have decided which doll you want to buy, you may find that you cannot actually find that particular doll anywhere for sale. I receive emails from hopeful new Blythers all the time regarding this.

Make sure you read any listings thoroughly before you buy a doll. If a doll is listed as being stock, it means that it has not been modified in any way and should be, as it would be new from the box. You will also find a lot of custom Blythe dolls listed and they could have a range of modifications including, sand matting their face taking away the shine , hair re-roots, lip carving, painted eyelids and new eyelashes.

A lot of newbies buy a Blythe with the intention of customising the doll themselves. I did this and ended up being unhappy with the result. Buy one from an experienced customiser. There are now many fake dolls in the Blythe doll market. These are not Blythe dolls anymore than a fake Barbie would be a Barbie doll. They are roughly based on the same moulds. Some releases have been sold in fake boxes and passed off as real Blythe dolls but the list of genuinely faked dolls in boxes is very small.

Generally they are naked, with hair that does not match any known genuine release. There are several dolls that have been faked or copied, there are also dolls known as factory dolls which are just spare parts put together to make a full doll from the factory. The website This is Blythe has been bought and the dolls available on this site when I looked today are all are fakes.

It used to be a great resource in the community. The official shop for Blythe in Japan is Junie Moon. Buying direct from Junie Moon ensures that you are not buying a fake doll. I find their EMS shipping to be fast to Australia. You can sign up for their lotteries in which they select people to buy their limited dolls. Make sure you thoroughly check the sellers eBay feedback and read up on Bad Dolly Deals. Bad Dolly Deals is a community in which people record transactions that have gone badly.

The price you pay on eBay for a doll is generally going to be higher than you would pay if you bought it direct from another doll collector.

There are also many fake dolls sold through eBay. There are several groups for buying and selling dolls on Facebook. I recommend Dolly Adoption. They have a list of rules to be followed when using the group so make sure you read it before participating. Facebook can be a little unsafe. Before you buy from anyone ensure that you check Bad Dolly Deals for their name.

That said they could be using another name or no username at all on Facebook. Make sure you pay for registered postage or tracking. It is your responsibility as a buyer to pay for this. There are numerous Blythe related events organised each year all over the world. I was an organiser of BlytheCon Australia and was amazed by the number of people I met that were new to the hobby. It probably also helped that I had around 9 Blythe dolls for sale, for very low prices.

Attending a dolly meet up is a great way to meet other Blythers as well as buy things without having to pay for postage and wait for delivery.
