See, this business of buying dolls for the "resale" was such a stoopid thing that got started in the mid 90s. I rue the day I learned this bad habit...
Welllll....I think it still IS a good idea, it is just that you need to hang on to them until they become 'vintage' (got somewhere to store them for a couple of decades?)
Personally, I feel that as far as 11 1/2" dolls go...Candi and Charice (as well as some of the Alysa/Jade/Janay dolls) are so much more beautiful than Barbie, that they can't go anywhere but up! The amount made (in comparison to Barbie) is going to make them rarer as well. Additionally, even though the play-line dolls cost less, they have a chance of becoming worth money because they are just that: a playline and most girls WILL play with them--to death! Then the ones that didn't get played with will be rarer, in demand and worth a lot. But again...this will take a generation.
