I never paid much attention to Barbie issues, but I suddenly realize I have a daughter now who will likely one day be wanting a host of Barbie dolls, Barbie beach houses, Barbie Corvettes, etc. So I'm curious, why do you wish to deprive your daughter of all things Barbie? I take it your parents didn't let you have Barbie dolls, either? Were you traumatized at the time?
I had a mother-in-law who volunteered at a charity thrift shop, so she got first pick of all the stuff coming in.
We had quite a collection of bits and pieces, most of which have now been donated back to the charity shop.
Still have a really cool campervan and a jeep in the play room, but they'll soon be passed on to my niece.
(My oldest daughter is 20 and my youngest daughter 13, so Barbie's are behind us now).
Cheers Russell C.
