blind person and new member
anyway, my blindness may make looking a bit harder. Then again, it depends on what you call "looking".
so, I hope to read some of your tips and tricks, stories and perhaps some advice on how (and where) a blind person can get his first doll.

What do you want most from a doll? And what is your price range?

The doll meet would be a good place to touch many different dolls, and figure out which one was for you.

A doll can be much more than just a pretty face to look at. They are works of art to look at and to touch. In my opinion my girls feel amazing too, when I keep them well powdered.

well, I only partially answered that in the other reply. I am hoping for under $200 (like I am dreaming considering the prices I have seen so far). I am also seeking full functionality (3 holes, detachable lower section), etc. my dream doll would be a full sized asian real doll (155 cm tall and properly shaped), but then, thats a $5,000 dream.

Re: blind person and new member
Grim makes a good point about touching dolls in person. I don't know if you can make it to the east coast in May, but if you can, there would be an opportunity for some tactile research. Once you have your 5 posts and new member restrictions are lifted, send me a PM if you'd be interested in attending the meet.
At $200, your choices are extremely limited. Other than inflatables, the only dolls in that range will be second hand. Once in a while, there will be a decent "off brand" doll for a price like that in our sales section: http://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=128
Also, what do you mean by "detachable lower section"?

It sounds as though you're planning on an inflatable or semi-inflatable doll then? You could certainly find something for $200 and I can put you into contact with someone who's fairly knowledgeable and can assist in your selection, if inflatables are the way you're going.

Re: blind person and new member
I hope you can sort your way through the forums and find a doll to satisfy.
There have been a few members recently who purchased from unkown vendors on Aliexpress TPE dolls for around $650. Perhaps we are on the verge of a price restructuring in the industry, who knows? I'm sure increased sales and demand will improve our choices in the long run.
