If someone broke your doll?

i've wondered this myself. if i broke someones doll i'd insisite on paying for the damage. its the right thing, and if it was my doll i'd want the person who broke it to at least offer, to replace the damage.

 

This, exactly!
I was actually just thinking about this recently...

If I broke someone else's doll (on accident, of course!) I think I'd probably start crying for forgiveness along with offering to pay XD;;

And if someone broke my doll, I'm not sure what I'd say. I'd probably just be in shock. But then again, I guess it depends on what broke. Hands are easily replaceable, but bodies and heads, not so much. I don't have the guts to out right tell someone to pay for it, unless it was close family or friends.

HOWEVER, if someone were to pick up one of my boys, regardless of permission given(or if they were a dolly person or not), have them shatter, and then say "oh... sorry," in a very uncaring voice, that would throw me over the edge. The lack of any sort of caring that they broke something that wasn't theirs, not only do they lose all respect from me, but they would feel my wrath.
I think this same reaction would be if I'd witnessed someone break a doll that wasn't theirs. e-e;

 

If I broke someone's doll I will surely offer to replace the damaged part.

And if my dolls have been broken I'm not sure whether I will ask for payoff,since thing cannot turn back then....It remains a pity!(Even though the damaged part have been repaired or replaced. Especially the head part,will you consider a new same head is the beloved one you have had? T_T So I'm always trying my best to protect them. 8D

 

i'd break them........?.....o.O;;

 

Depends on who breaks my doll and how it happens. I can't imagine it.
I wouldn't want to make a friend pay, accidents happen.
But if it was a someone viewing the doll on display and they happen to get sloppy and break it I'd ask them to pay.
If it was broken intentionally, I'd be heartbroken and would definitely ask for a replacement.

 

in my opinion paying is too less. my dolls means much for me, and buying another one isnt the answer. problably i will kill that person... hope this wont happen, i think thats why we - dollfie fans should give dolls to people we trust

but seriously, if its an accident i want some kind of revange and ill try to stay in this person's mind like some ghost O_o

 

Dont have a doll yet but my guess would the same with anything delicate. I would be in more shock than anything and the circumstances of how it broke in the first place would be a key factor. That is if it was intentional i would ask them to compensate for damages - if it was a family member i wouldnt hesitate regardless of the situation.
I think however that to avoid that sort of thing in the first place i wouldnt allow any to touch them.
I would treat them the same i do my real nihonto's - delicately looked after and kept out of reach from prying fingers - you touch it and i cut your fingers off (that is if they arent cut off already) [nihonto's = japanese swords]

I would be annoyed enough as is if someone broke something of mine regardless of what it was anyway.

 

I'd be really upset, but I wouldn't tell them to pay up for it.

My folks are a different story though...if it's just a BIT more than minor, they'd probably make whoever damaged my doll actually pay to buy me a new one, though I think that's just extreme.

 

If I broke someone else's doll I would definitely offer to pay, but if someone broke my doll I'm not quite sure what I'd do. I don't think I'd have it in me to ask for payment! If it was someone I knew quite well though I might imply that they should pay for it.

 

I warn people who havent held my dolls before. "dont touch the body paint or the face paint and if you dorp him this one is 314 and that ones 450 about. they crack you pay"

 

I would definitely pay for someones doll if I broke/damaged it, I'd be mortified. And even if I paid them it wouldn't be enough because dolls are so rare and with different face up's etc.

As for asking someone to pay me if they broke mine - hmmmmm. I might be too embarrassed. I used to make porcelain dolls and my sisters kids broke a few of them, all I asked for was an apology and she snapped at me and refused to talk to me for a week. Seeing as that didn't go down well, not sure what would happen if I asked someone to pay haha.

 

It honestly depends on who did the breaking, and how badly.

If it's a good friend, and his finger snaps, that's fine. I'll glue it back.
If it's a good friend, and an arm breaks, or his face breaks, they'd better pay for at least half.

If it's an acquaintance, it honestly depends on the acquaintance. And damage. If they break something more serious than a finger, PAY.

 

I don't believe I would be too upset if a friend accidentally damaged my doll unless it directly affected it's face or function. However it would also depend on the circumstances. I don't let my friends touch my doll unsupervised therefore any accidents that occur around them would be partially my fault.
If the situation were reversed I would definately offer to repair and/or replace any parts I damaged.

 

It depends on the situation. If for instance someone just took my doll without my permission and broke it then I would expect that person to pay for the damage. I would be up front with them about it. If it is someone who I gave permission and it wasn't intentional then it would be hard for me to tell that person to pay up. In most cases I would think they would apologize and offer to take responsibility for the damage because I would too if it was me.

 

I think I would go insane! On the inside, anyways. I know any of my friends would offer to pay on their own, which would make me feel better because at least they'd feel a sense of remorse instead of 'oh well! such is life!' and brushing it off.

 

Of course I would be very upset if someone broke one of my dolls, but I wouldn't ask that person to pay for the damage. When I first show someone a BJD of mine I always let them know that my dolls are delicate and cost quite a bit more then most dolls. Folks understand that my dolls mean a lot to me and so far I've never had anyone be anything but careful when handling them. If I didn't trust someone to hold my dolls, I just wouldn't let them touch them. Luckily it hasn't been a problem.

 

If it was another BJD owner, I'm sure they would understand what they'd done, and pay to fix it. They'd understand how it feels to have a dolly broken. If it was a complete accident, I would just brush it right off and buy a new hand. No huge deal.

If it was, say, a con-goer who just snatched my doll with out permission, I'd probably explode on them. Firstly, you don't touch things that arn't yours. Period. Secondly, based on how expensive repairs can be, I wouldn't let just anybody handle my doll without breathing down their neck the whole time..

Now, if it was just a finger, I'd ask to be paid to buy a new hand.

If it was the face.. I'd probably have a quick cry. My poor dolly's face being broken is just a horrible thought. Even if I bought a new face, It wouldn't be quite the same. I'm sentimenatl like that.

 

First would be to pay, if they can not compensate ,in some way ,either by pay a part or something or layaway payments

 

I actually had this happen to me a couple weeks ago when I brought my SD boy to class. I sit him on the table and turn around for a second and I hear the horrific sound of resin smacking into linoleum. This really ditsy girl had just knocked him off the table. She was just sitting there texting on her phone and when I scrambled over to pick Brendon up (his wig and headcap had flown clear across the room and he had a crack in his forehead. No pieces missing and the crack is covered by his wig but still) she just looked at me and said 'oh, sorry.' I was going to ask her to at least pay for epoxy so I could fix him myself but then I remembered the time she snapped at me for nudging her Prada jacket and decided I'd rather not deal with her. It's not a serious crack and I fixed it so it won't get any bigger but I was and still am really angry at her. She's seen me cuddling my dolls before and even if she didn't know how much he was worth she could have at least acted a little more concerned that she had caused damage equivalent to cracking a toddler's skull open.

If I broke someone else's doll I'd sure as hell pay for a replacement part or repair and probably throw in some appropriate clothes for said dolly too. I don't even think I'd try to fix it myself, I'd pay for it to be sent to THE BEST place for repairs that the owner could find. I'd feel as horrible as if I'd hurt somebody's human child.

 

If someone broke my doll, I would think I was being punished for being materialistic.
