4/14/2024: Happy birthday, Joss!
April is a busy month for doll birthdays. Rebecca's and Addy's (and a couple of the girls we don't have yet) were earlier in the month, and Molly's is coming up. Today, though, we're (and the other modern girls, and a dog [possibly the scruffiest imaginable Wheaten Terrier Puppy] that we named Parker Posey because she poses, not realizing that there's a canonical dog named Barker Posey) celebrating Joss!
Joss herself is wearing the dress and shoes from the Sparkle and Shine outfit; Kanani is wearing Lea's Meet dress (which she came to us in) and some blue and pink flats that I cannot for the life of me figure out which outfit they came from; Luciana is wearing her Meet Outfit; May is wearing an outfit by dollcatwalk on Etsy; Corinne is wearing the Weekend Fun Outfit II; Kavi is wearing her Meet Outfit.

The 9,000 Dollar Joss Sale
Buckle up folks because this is the strangest American girl listing I’ve ever seen.
See this Joss? She’s cute, she’s in good condition, she’s got a hair salon style in. But she’s nothing special, and you’d think typically a doll like that would fetch, I don’t know, 90 dollars? She’s got her accessories and a carrying case.
But you’d be wrong.
That Joss sold for nine thousand dollars.
Yes, she’s haunted, it seems. There’s a full story in the comments of the listing, but I picked out the highlights.
The seller got this Joss from a guy they deal with frequently, and he was the one who told them it was haunted- and that people might pay a few grand for a haunted doll. So the seller listed it for 9,000.
I first saw it before the story was updated with communication via a paranormal investigation device, and those pictures are now included with the listing.
Apparently this Joss has a lot to say, and that is worth 9k to someone, somewhere.
I made a joking offer of 30 bucks, thinking that the 9k was a placeholder price of some kind, and the seller instantly declined. But Ebay saw I was interested, so they sent me one of those classic Ebay “sucks to be you, the item you liked is GONE!” emails. And my jaw dropped.
At least they had the courtesy to offer free shipping.
There are two going theories, imo. Either the haunted doll market is insane, and someone wanted a haunted (but not malicious) doll that badly (they didn’t even make an offer for 8k?? I would have)... or they’re laundering money.
Call me crazy, but I don’t think this is legitimate. I skimmed haunted doll listings and most of the time, it looks like “haunted doll” sells at or slightly above the regular price of the dolls. Not many American Girl dolls are listed as haunted, usually old porcelain dolls that have a slightly creepy vibe to them.
Either somebody wants a visually pleasing haunted doll, and 9k is chump change to them, or, well, maybe someone made about 10k or so in a shady business (not talking drugs here, I’m talking a weird MLM or an under the table job) and needed to process their money through a taxable revenue stream. IRS auditors are going to be more willing to accept “people love haunted shit” than “I just found 10k on the ground”.
I’d say I’m 60/40 on a strange wealthy collector spending 9k on this doll or tax fraud being funneled through a Joss, and I don’t know which one is stranger.

some questions for any of ur OCS!! mix and match however u feel like :D though id definitely love to hear one about Aporal and possibly Hudson :)
🩸: Has your OC ever been severely wounded?
⚔️: Have they ever been in a fight against someone really dangerous?
⛓️: When was a time that your OC felt truly, inescapably, hopelessly trapped?
⏳: Has your OC ever been "too late" to do/say something, and it had serious consequences?
Thanks pookie~ You know I love my drama!
Let’s start with “severely wounded” for Aporal. During his captivity he often got into fights (people trying to kill each other to eliminate the best). One time, Aporal got into a fight with another Andorian who tried to stab him with a broken piece of metal. His thigh was severely injured and he only survived thanks to a girl who knew a lot about medical issues.
Joss was once assigned to take out a dangerous leader of a syndicate. She fulfilled her job, but it was really hard for her to escape the syndicate’s members after that. They never managed to catch her though.
After Hudson’s fiancé and the rest of the landing party had been killed on a mission, she was kidnapped by Romulans. They forced her to work for them and it was the most horrifying time of her life. She thought that she’d never be freed, but she was eventually saved by the Federation/Fleet.
10 once forgot to warn a new slave about the ‘Don’t say your real name’ rule and the new guy was punished heavily. She never forgave herself for making that mistake.
