<p>[QUOTE="sassafras, post: 9594599, member: 6320"]Ask your buyer what they prefer. The majority of collectors will ask you to remove the head on a domed doll and they'll reattach it when it gets to them. Most of them have been reattached at one time or another and it doesn't affect the value on a Bye-Lo baby at all. It's definitely the safest method. Just snip the thread at the neckline, remove the head, stuff it with tissue (with the eyes closed), wrap in tissue and several layers of bubble wrap, and ship it face down. This helps keep the plaster in place that holds the eye rocker.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the buyer doesn't want to do that, make sure that they know there is a much greater risk of damage with all other methods.
