Feeling Appreciated

I sold an extra copy of the Spring 2021 issue of UFDC's Doll News.

I received the following message through eBay from a buyer of one of my listings shortly after the purchase and before the item shipped.

Debbie, my fellow lover of, and passionate collector of Black dolls! I have known of you and your passion for Black dolls for years, decades, actually. When I just happened to run across this listing and saw that the magazine contains a Black Doll Museum article, my interest was immediately piqued. Then, after picking up on a few cues from your listing, I realized who you were as the seller of the magazine. I had no idea you were on eBay, but I was pleasantly surprised and quite amused by your user id, which is the same as mine except for the first 3 letters; I thought, "What a nice coincidence!" (Great minds think alike :o))

Anyway, I'm happy to be buying this magazine from THE Debbie B Garrett, creator and curator of The Virtual Black Doll Museum. I am hoping to retire from my job in a couple of years, at which point, I too, would love to devote my time to publishing a few coffee table books, as well as creating my own virtual museum of my decades-long collection of high-end Black dolls (modern, only). At that time, hopefully you wouldn't mind me contacting you for some of your suggestions and invaluable expertise.

Sincerely,

I thanked her for the purchase and congratulated her on her upcoming retirement. Additionally, I invited her to become a subscriber and patron of DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum, and I offered to share tips on publishing her coffee table books.

There are countless items to collect and write about. Black dolls chose me.
