1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Did owning BJDs turn you into a shopaholic?

    1. I definitely window shop a lot more for doll stuff (clothes especially) than I do for things for myself now! And I usually reserve a little from each pay for something fun, most of the time it goes towards doll stuff. Dx

    3. Yes, owning a BJD has turned me into a shopaholic!! I have tons and tons of Etsy wishlists, and I have browsed through thousands of Flickr photos, picking up fashion advice. I learned how to dress my dolls by figuring out how other people dressed their own collections, and those same skills translate into shopping for a human body (who knew!? haha). Now I enjoy shopping for myself much more than I ever did. I am also a pro at shopping on Etsy, as my hours and hours of browsing for the perfect Lati outfit would show! :)

    4. Ahaha, no, I've always been the type of person that feels happiness from spending money sooo yeah, I usually go through phases of things like make up, clothes, anime figures, dolls, video games, charms, keychains, tools. Yeah I have a problem lol

    7. Me too! It pains me to look at my bank account the day after payday, but the joy I feel when I purchase something I want eclipses any worries I might have about money in the near future. 8( Right now it's all about the BJDs and their wigs, eyes, outfits, and faceup materials. I wish my bank would just tell me "NO, DON'T BUY THAT" at a certain point. There's probably an app for that... :P

    8. Yes... yes, it did... clothes, shoes, wigs, accessories... it's a nightmare XD XD

      And I don't want to wake up, but I'm keeping records of what I buy, I don't want to go bankrupt

    9. I look more than I buy and want to buy more than I need. So yes and no :) I think it's made me into more of an internet addict than anything else as I can spend hours looking either at dolls or doll-related items!
       
      #249 beatnik, Nov 20, 2014
    10. Not really but I am a sucker for proportionately sized items. I just can't seem to pass them up.
       
      #250 amirahfae, Nov 21, 2014
    11. Yesss I think...everytime I walk into any shop or going around the malls, my eyes always looking for something tiny that'd suit my dolls, and everytime I walk out from an craft store, It'd be with the stuff for my dolls, always....

    12. When I look at my bank account and start asking myself how, with no more money, I can buy this "soooooo pretty" BJD and this one and this one and.......... yes I am definitely a BJD shopaholic :o
       
      #252 mouchettebad, Nov 21, 2014
    13. Actually, saving up for BJD's has saved me from being a shopaholic in other areas of life :XD:

    14. I spent $400, and my first hasn't even arrived. I didn't even buy clothes, because I want to make them. I've bought wigs, and shoes, and tiny props and tiny print fabric, tiny buttons, etc. I've just taken to closing the tab and looking at the stuff I already have whenever something new grabs my attention.
       
      #254 lalaa, Nov 28, 2014
    15. OMG yes for me too! Like when your about to buy an out fit or a doll that's kinda of expensive and at the time you think it okay to buy this and that for your doll. But then when it arrives you get buyers remorse lol the worst
       
      #255 ellie, Nov 28, 2014
    16. I was already a shopaholic for books, puzzles, games... now all that is diverted to bjd shopping... more the dolls themselves than actual clothing... it's really hard to find clothes I like... wigs... shoes... also props, hard but fun!
       
      #256 qwinche, Nov 28, 2014
    17. Yes... after I ordered my bjds, I kept on searching Taobao and etsy for their accessories, clothes and wigs even thought they are not here. Now in my cart I have numerous items to be bought which are more than enough for only 2 dolls... xD Also whenever I see other compnaies' bjds, I will just go to their site and look for the bjd I like (hopefully I won't just buy them without thinking much~)
       
      #257 Honeyrainamrita, Nov 29, 2014
    18. Shopaholic specifically for BJD stuff, yes! Pretty much all of my spare money goes to them now whereas before them, I'd have a good amount of spare cash I would end up just putting into savings. Oi, these dolls!
       
      #258 sam_darko, Dec 7, 2014
    19. I've ALWAYS been a shopaholic - this has just changed what I buy LOL
       
      #259 Teleri, Dec 7, 2014
    20. It turned me into a window-shopaholic! I browse doll sites all the time...luckily I don't part with money easily^^; but I certainly waste a lot of time thinking about spending it lol
