If someone broke your doll?

Well . . . It kinda depends. For one thing, I pretty much never ever let anyone hold my doll. I let my mom hold her, and my BFF, but nobody else is ever allowed to touch her. So if someone other then those two people, I would probably ask for some sorta compensation.
Because they would of being holding/playing with my doll without asking me. Which would kinda peeve me off (I'm very protective of my dolls lol ). But it would depend on the circumstances I suppose.

It would also depend on what part they broke. The face? Yeah, I'd want something back. The hand? I might not mind as much.

 

There would be a moment of silence throughout the room.
And then, the bloodcurdling shriek.
One of my friends would probably have to try to get me to STOP pinning the offender against the wall, demanding not only money but actual replacement with all my loanshark-esque might.
I'd be good in the mafia.

 

I'd be like... what in the world that just happen... and pretty sure that I'll cry [even she got a little damage.] and surely complain a lot. Then make them pay for it... But if my doll got a lot of damage... the person who dropped it might be gotten a same injury like my doll...
Anyway hope that wouldn't happen. Also other people rarely touched her. ^-^

 

Wow... since mine will be a tan doll I would out right request that he not be held. He's not like the other dolls around here and this is taking 4 months of overtime work at a job I absolutely hate. So I would be rather ticked.
I should put a hobo sign on him "Do not touch" or something... I can't afford to have him fixed and I don't want to cause a lot of pain on the person that does. Because... when I'm mad... I get even.

If it was a family member, I know they're poor as hell. They'd never pay up. So I'd just have to crack my knuckles and cause some pain. Everyone around me knows how hard I'm working for this doll. He means the world to me. So if he's broken, you gotta expect the nasty side of me to come lashing out of it's shell.

Normally... I think I'm a pretty nice person...

 

If someone caused damage to my dolls I'll probably be in such a shock to say anything. But, it would be respectful if they offered to pay for the damage.

If I held a doll with/without permission and broke it, I would feel that, its my responsibility to talk to the owner and offer to pay for the repairs.

 

As someone who has recently suffered doll tragedies (though thankfully not my bjds), I think I can answer this one. The loss is disappointing, yes, but it is something from which I can move on.

My dogs (I have four, two pugs and two golden retrievers) got into some of my dolls. One doll (a convention-only MA doll) was utterly destroyed, and the other (a Tonner mini) only lost a hand. Because it was my doggies and I knew they weren't doing it to be spiteful, I didn't get mad or even upset. If a doll was "murdered" to hurt me, I would take offense.

 

It would be nice if they were to offer some sort of compensation, but an accident can be an accident sometimes, and what if they have absolutely no money? I'm not the type of person to aggressive pressure other people. I try to avoid that by not letting people hold my dolls.

 

My husband broke one of his boy's arms, and now we dont know what to do about it.. we've tried contacting LUTS about a replacement arm, but no one is much help... If anyone actually knows how to get additional parts, if you could PM me that would be AMAZING!

 

When handling something expensive, like a doll, I always treat them like they have more value than my own life; ask any of my friends, I'm a paranoid freak if this happens. If I managed to hurt a doll in any way I believe I'd be offering my life savings to the person through sobs of guilt. XD Even if it was an accident. But, of course, my family's notoriously sensitive when it comes to feeling guilty about anything, really.

I guess it'd depend on the situation for if someone injured or broke something of mine. Granted, I don't have a doll yet for that to happen to, but I believe that's a moot point. If it was an accident or freak thing and I don't hold the person responsible for it I really would feel bad accepting any form of compensation because I'd be freaking out if I was in their shoes.

However, if the person was negligent or blew the whole situation off then I'd be pretty mad and ask for some form of compensation; and trust me, still waters really do run deep and I'm not a person to be made an enemy out of.

 

I think I would want them to fix it but if they didn't I'd probably hold a secret grudge toward that person forever. >

 

I guess I would get furious when someone broke one of mine, accident or not ... Ok, I wouldn't kill them if it was an accident It's just something of great value to me so I wouldn't get over it so easily.

So yeh, to avoid the situation I keep them away from anyone who doesn't know what they are etx. Like tonight, some collegues of my bf are staying over. The spare room is the home of my dolls so they had to be moved. (Like hell I'm gonna put them in a cupboard!) So they are in my room, even though my bf is a bit scared of them, it was the decision I let him make.

They are going out together, so imagine one of them being drunk and spots one of my dolls *dies*

 

I would be horrified if something happened to my doll. If it was one of my nieces who broke it I would probably get mad and yell at them. If it was someone I didn't know who had permission to hold him, I wouldn't get mad. I wouldn't expect them to pay for it. I wouldn't even ask... It depends on how bad he's damaged. Even if they offered to pay for the damage, I don't know if I would take it. I hate taking people's money.

If I damaged someone's doll I would feel so horrible! I would offer to pay for it.

 

I had one of my friend hold my doll after she requested and when I told her not to touch his legs (he was wearing shorts, I only touch his bottom where covered by his shorts), she thought I was kidding I guess? (honestly I donno how can you think that) She rubbed his leg really hard for a few second, and few month later now I realize that part of his leg is yellowing........Q_Q
I was furious...I still am.
But I won't have her pay for it or anything. I just learn my lesson and not have anyone touch him again.
Afterall it was my fault that I had her hold him.
Sigh.

 

It's only right that either one of us, let it be me who caused the damage or the other person, pay for the repairs. Because these dolls are expensive and damaging something that is precious to someone, it'd be more responsible to pay for it. Unless the person insists it's alright. It's sort of similar to when my prop sword got broken from someone who was using it and she offered to make me a new one. XD Thing was though it didn't cost me much of anything, since the materials were leftovers. And it broke in an area that it could easily be refixed and no one would have noticed it got damaged.
But yes, if I broke something or caused some sort of damage to someone's doll, I would pay them. And if someone did cause damage to my doll and it's not something I can repair myself without having to replace it, like a hand, then yes... it may seem mean but it's the only right thing to do.

 

Oh, I'd totally flip out, maybe even cry. That's probably the reason I'd never let anyone hold my doll that I didn't totally trust with it... I'm too paranoid about someone damaging it.

I would expect anyone that did damage my doll to pay for the broken part, for sure, even though my doll's parts aren't that expensive.

 

I don't know if I'd go so far as to demand that the person supply some sort of compensation mainly because I know how much these dolls cost including their separate parts. Certainly this is the very reason I'm very apprehensive about picking up anyone else's doll even with permission. I don't have my own yet and I know how much these dolls cost and I would feel horrible if something happened to one of them while in my care--especially if that doll isn't my own if it's my fault and mine well that's my business. Personally if such an incident were to occur I'd want to try and compensate whomever's doll it was, but I also know that I really don't have the money to easily do such a thing and I imagine a lot of doll owners are in similar positions.

In the end I guess it really depends on the situation. Accidents can and will happen, but....I don't know it's kind of complicated I guess rather like getting into a car accident with someone who doesn't have insurance. While you'd love for that person to pay for repairs chances are they're not going to be able to.

 

If they handled my doll with out permission and broke it ... I would like a compensation ... mostly in cash ...

But if they handled my doll with permission and broke it ... they would still have to pay ....

If I broke it ... I would pay

... All the same answer for me I guess ...

 

If somebody broke my doll they have to pay up {or fix it if it's fixable and not noticeable}. If I broke somebody's doll I would pay them. Simple as that though if they made very light unnoticeable unintended scratches it's fine, no need to pay. If the face-up got messed up they at least have to cover half of the face-up fee+shipping. >.< If it was a family member, I would cry and demand for a new doll! XD

 

I guess it depends on circumstance. My SO, completely by accident, knocked my newest girl of the dolly shelf and she broke her leg. Thankfully I could order a set of legs and she is now whole again. I was devastated when she fell but I wasn't angry with my SO and I wouldn't demand he pay for the damage (he did offer to pay though). However in my mind there's a difference between accidentally knocking something down whilst walking past and consciously holding something only to drop it. According to my way of thinking it's a given that you pay if you break something you borrowed (however briefly).

 

I would make them pay for it. Even if it was one of my friends they should know to be careful with other peoples things. They broke it they pay for it, simple. If they didn't I would call their parents, or if they were olders I would get someone to make them. > No one messes with my babies. If I broke someones doll I would pay for it. I would feel too guilty not too.
