I want a baby doll and I will have one. I really don't want to deal with overseas sellers because their terms suck and customs to deal with. Not worth the issues. I will buy one from a USA seller. Is 700.00 a good deal for the USA AP version?
Yes if its unnumbered it is an AP.

There are more than 7 APs. 7 is just the amount GG put up for their last sale. Not sure what the exact run on the APs is but there aren't a lot of them. And to answer your question the APs are not a part of the run of 500.

$700 is a good deal for an AP. Most have sold for more. It tends to fetch a little more than the non AP version but not much.

was looking around for a Illicit Rocker Biker Girl a while ago, anyway found one from a fella in N.Zealand, who got it from his girlfriend when she was an employee at Illicit, cut a long story short, on the base its got written AP 9 of 35.
Dont know why the other companies dont do the same

before they make a full run, they make a small batch like 20-50 or something like that for test purposes. To see how paint app comes out, etc.

These are often used as replacements if needed for broken returns they recieve. After its all sold out and no more returns needed they will usually put up the small remaining number of Ap's left.

Sometimes they number the Ap's but most of the time they dont. But they are generally worth a lil more because collectors always want the smallest/ or first production run.
