Question

Dolls (玩偶) come in all shapes and sizes. Many people like to collect them. The reason is probably that dolls make people feel like they just gave birth to their own children.

One famous doll company (公司) is Madame Alexander. The dolls it produces are usually bought by mothers for their daughters to play with. Two of the most expensive dolls they have are Kathleen Toddler whose market price today is from $125 to $300 and Binnie, which costs about $175 to $475.

Cabbage Patch Kids are another kind of dolls. That company’s marketing policy(政策) is different because you don’t buy a doll but rather adopt (收养) one. You just have to pay a small, regular fee (定额费用).They were very successful in the 1980s.

Lee Middleton also produces (生产) baby dolls, including different collections. As they are very lively, these dolls are still very popular among collectors.

Another company that makes dolls is Tiny Miracles. They have a collection called the Ashton Drake Galleries that consists of (由……组成) 10-inch long babies. They are not sold in stores, so if you want one, you have to order it straight from Tiny Miracles.

These are just a few of the baby dolls on the market. The best place to sell dolls is online because almost everyone has a computer and the company can make money here much more easily than by putting an ad in the newspaper.
