I wasn't sure whether one could get dolls in game by trading with Rube or whatever else. If I have to save to buy in the marketplace, I will. I just wanted to know if I could hope to get one by doing stuff around Ur.
Rumor is that Rube often likes to trade them for grand ol' grinders...however, hard to say since the upgrade trading cards came into play...however, if you don't have enough stuff in your inventory (ie, trying to 'game the system' like folks did have fun with previously), he may not trade with you at all...
I got a trade for a doll for a still but that was back when you could "cheat the system." It looks like he only trades for things that are worth more than 2K.
My last trade with him last week was for an ehsp powder! Prior to that it was a superscraper and prior to that I think it was a grinder. I wasn't aware there was a cheat? I've gotten 4 in total from him over the months but my sister who plays everyday but only for an hour or so after work has never been offered one from him : ) (I play for many 'game days' everyday - so my odds would be higher)
