OK, I do not know how to make this a link, but take a look at item # 250733247055.
I bought several of these dolls for my granddaughter. Perhaps she would rather I sold them and bought her mother a car!!

Thanks for making this item clickable.
I bought 2 of the LalaLoopsy dolls a week ago on Toys R Us for $24.99 each plus they came with an extra outfit.
I don't think this one is worth $56,000

If it works, I think I'll list a $100,000 perfume bottle. I could retire so much sooner, if someone would pay off that pesky mortgate for me!

She did not violate any Ebay rules,she is just asking 35k for her item.
If you want to help her out,then bid on it.
I have seen folks raising money for medical bills,roof repair by selling their own household items,heirloom,wedding dress.
Businessmen in Asia are known to send their wives to play mah jong with politician wives and lost money big time .
And who paid 25 million dollars for a 500 sq ft condo in Hong Kong?

Well, I'm not sure if it is against Ebays policy but, she is begging for someone to make her life easy as most want. Her comments in the description area is not what ebay is for.
Can you imagine if all of use come to ebay and beg for a free ride?
What kinda message would we be sending to buyers that are here to purchase items.........the buyer is not here to donate there money for her to live a better life that she is dreaming for.
Before i would help someone like her I help people in my area that have no food for there kids and who are going to be out in the street because of an illness that took away there normal way of living. To me those are the people that need our help, NOT people like her.

Also, if you look at these of the stuff she sells / sold they are low priced items. Mostly ties for turkeys!! I guess she figured she was not going to get rich on those.
I think she has a better chance buying a lottery ticket!!

I have seen people listing personal items asking bidders to help them pay their mortgage,medical bills etc.
But they are wasting their time,Ebay bidders are not on EBay to do charity work.

It's probably not against any rule but maybe it should be.
I see people selling stuff worth only hundreds for hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get attention to their item. That has to be a turn off for serious buyers so it hurts us all.

This doll is not even worth hundreds of dollars. People are paying a premium to get all 10 dolls + accessories, but the dolls are available at Target and Toys R Us. They are hot sellers and not easy to get now, but they were available until a week ago on Toys R Us and target webpages for $24.50. Probably resellers gobbled the dolls up, but most are going for just double retail or between $50-$60 on Ebay to parents that are desperate not to disappoint their little girls on Christmas.
I am glad I got 2 a week or so ago. There were more available at the time, but I thought 2 was generous enough of Santa.

Every year before Xmas,Ebay will clue its toys and dolls sellers what is hot and what is not so they can order more from the suppliers.
Just like they adviced some of the electronic sellers how to sell better on Ebay,one of them closed their ground level store and moved to a warehouse to sell strictly on Ebay.
And what about that Chinese guy who sells 1/2 million dollars worth of electronic and electrical parts,components and gadgets on Ebay, Ebay even name a room after him.

"That Chinese guy" is being sued by Apple for patent and trademark infringement.
I don't know about you, but I don't want a company with billions of dollars in cash and 1,000 lawyers mad at me.
Look for the "Jack Sheng Conference Room" to be quietly renamed next year.

I also realize how people can list such ridiculous prices since Ebay gives non store owners free listings and free BIN!! What a waste!

She relisted it at $99.00. Is it supposed to look like a bargain now?

A few people have to abuse the free listing offer but the real stupid high prices in the categories I look in are the store owners.

I see it on AMZN books-seller find out the book he wants to list is out of stock,so he lists it at some ridiculous price,then more sellers come and list them at some ridiculous low price.

i bought an item at Ikea about 2 years ago for $10. We needed it as a store fixture. When we moved we had no need for it, so I listed it on eBay. Sold it for $69.50. Go figure.
I know we all complain about sellers asking too much, but would any of us complain if we were the seller and someone bought it for such an outrageous price? I know I wouldn't and you won't ever get a premium price if you don't ask for a premium price. Most of these items get no bids or offers, but occasionally they do. I guess everyone hopes to find that diamond in the rough that will push them to retire on.
