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.

Do you ever stop and think "WTH am I doing?!"

Dec 2, 2013

    1. I think about it all the time. I think mostly because of the money I have spent, but there is also the fact that I'm not well and not sure how much longer I'll have the type of space I do now. Need to downsize but the thought of it fills me with dread. Not for the fact of giving them up, just not fond of selling. I've done a lot over the years of many different things, but now fees are so high and it seems much more complicated now.
       
    2. Every time I get the wrong thing or it doesn't fit!!!! That seems to be happening more and more! I still have a few dolls on my wish list but I can't sell any of the ones I have not done much with because everyone thinks they should be just slightly more than free. I have way too many SD size dolls in complete sets with gorgeous outfits but I will never recover even a part of what they cost IF I could even get anyone interested. I really hate going to shows where everybody wants to flop the items around like its a flea market! My husband comes in the doll room and counts dolls on a regular basis and I hope he has no idea what I've spent!!!!!
       
    3. All the time!
      especially when I look at the price of shoes and go "wow, I think this is cheap for doll shoes but actually human shoes at this price I would consider that average priced"

      then I do things like calculate how much I spend on eaxh doll after wigs and eyes.

      But sometimes I jusitfy my doll spending like "omg I just spent $150 on doll stuff! ... but I also spend $50+ every time I go to the club or buy a lot of liquor"
       
    4. I don't have a family to support or anything right now, but even when I was thinking about getting my first doll recently, I felt too bad using any money from my jobs to buy one, so I started putting away gift money and change and swagbucks money (my referral link if anyone's interested........) and I figured I wouldn't feel bad spending that because it's not like I really worked for it and I know I would have spent it on SOME sort of luxury anyway. That said, I was still hesitant once I realized I have accumulated enough money to buy my first one, but I've wanted basically the same doll for the past 10 years, so one day when I was feeling particularly down, I bit the bullet and sent a payment via paypal (so I could have something to look forward to). I don't feel as bad anymore about spending the money and I'm hoping I'll feel even better once he finally arrives!
       
    5. Oh, yes! All the time. But somehow I go ahead anyway!
