If someone broke your doll?

Oh, it would be no big deal. I would just kindly ask if I could have some money back to repay the damages done... Then take a finger for every day the payments are late! LOL!

 

Ooooooh~~it is depends on situation: if it was a stranger or someone else i would lost my temper immediately and then demand payment . but if it were my close friends or family , i would keep my temper and calm down for several days later and glue my pitiful doll ....i wouldn't asked them pay cause they are also important to me as my doll.

 

I will kill him.

 

If someone broke my doll on purpose, I would be furious. I would take out the receipt or whatever and get them to pay me back for either a replacement part or cash depending on what broke.
If it was by accident, it really depends on what broke but if it was like a hand or something I'd be cool with it, id be sad but i wouldnt explode or anything. If the nose broke off or something though, I would have to get them to pay about half since it was my responsibility letting them mess with it.

 

If this happen to my doll I would tell the person to pay but I would feel guilty about it. I don't want to be mean or offensive but the doll is really expensive and it took me forever to save up the money. Don't trust anyone to hold your dolls unless you really know them or know that they have dolls too

 

It depends who it is really. If it was a stranger, or someone I didn't give permission to, I'd expect them to pay me back for the damages. But if it was family, or a close friend I'd let it go.

 

I cry and after I broke her/him neck

Not really I ask her if insurance can pay ...

 

I would ask that person to pay for the damage, but I wouldn't know what to do if it were a limited doll..........Even if the damage can be fixed it would still be noticeable to some degree and I would cry over it every time I see the scar

 

It really depends on the circumstances for me. If it was a close friend who was familiar with dolls and was quite simply just an accident, I probably wouldn't. Ultimately, as the owner, it's my responsibility for keeping control of the object; however, if it were just a result of carelessness or if it was someone who didn't have permission, then yes, they'd have to pay and be quite sad about it, too.

 

If a stranger broke it, through carelessness or not, I would confront them and let them know that they need to take responsibility for their actions which in this case would be to pay for cost of repairs or replacement. I'd be as civil as possible about it as well. If you broke someones window, you'd be expected to pay for it (assuming insurance was not viable.)
Typically, if it was a friend or family member, they'd probably know I'd be upset and would offer to pay for a replacement part or to have work touched up if it were affected. If they didn't offer, I'd at least ask them to pay for half.

If I broke someones doll, or any possession for that matter, I'd offer to pay on the spot. if I weren't able to right at that moment, I'd at least give them my contact information so that I could at a later date.

 

Reading all these stories I almost want to start making up contracts XD "if you want to hold my doll, and you break it, you owe me half the value!" XD

Seriously though, if it was a stranger, I'd probably lash out. But it wouldnt be, cuz i wouldnt allow them to hold my dolls. If it was a friend...well, most of my friends are too afraid to hold my dolls. But one time, my friend was holding my lovely Deiuco, and the back of his head came off, and she started hysterically crying like, "IM SO SORRY!!!!" and i was like "No worries, its supposed to do that XD"

but idk if i'd make a friend or family member pay for the damages...theyre more important than my dolls, you know? =\

 

So would you tell the person that you expected them to replace the broken part?
yes, they broke it even after I told them to that it was delicate and to please be as careful/gentle as possible, so they are responsible for the full cost of replacement

What if you were the person that caused the damage? Would you consider yourself responsible and offer to replace the part?
yes I would, unless for some reason the owner did not want me to replace it

 

If it's me I'd definitely offer to pay for any damages, I know how it feels when someone broke something that you hold precious to, and when they let you hold it and play with it meant that they trust you, so you should be 120% careful and respect that feeling.
I probably won't let anyone outside BJD buddies to touch it, because they don't understand the way we feel about BJD (I guess) unless they really love BJD and really understand to handle them nicely.
But yes, if someone broke a part, I'd ask them to repair it, and it is too for me, I'd feel awkward to ask someone strange or a friend to pay for it, so I'd only ask them once and be extra careful next time.

 

I think it depends... If it were a true accident, I would understand... But, If they weren't being careful-- I would at LEAST like for them to offer to pay for the damage. (I might not make them actually pay, but an offer would be appreciated!)

 

Before I hand them my doll, I would tell them that if anything happened while the doll was in their hands, they would pay for the entire cost of the doll plus extra for all the modding / customization I put into it.
Generally, I would not let anyone hold my doll at all.
Having said this, after they break my doll I will wait for my payment.
If they do not pay, I will break them, and maybe then they will be willing to pay.

 

If I accidentally broke someone's doll I'd feel so guilty and do everything to get the part that was broken for them rather than just give them the money, or at least give them the money for the part plus shipping costs. I'd also make sure to buy something for their doll with the order of new parts like fantasy parts for that doll or a dress or shoes, just to say sorry

Limited would be hard, they're difficult to find and usually sold full or as a head and a body so just buying parts isn't even an option. Even money to buy another identical doll wouldn't be the same as it would be second hand and not modded/painted the same as yours. Even if you managed to get them to pay for another one for the part they broke, the doll could have yellowing on that part making the skin tones not match properly.

 

mmm, I offered to let some of my relatives hold one of my dolls once, and my aunt refused. she said she was clutzy and she knew from my mother the doll was expensive. she even commented that she likes my vinyl dolls but she she would never hold "that one" meaning my resin vito. Made me wonder what the heck my mother said to my aunt to make her feel so afraid to hold him.

 

My answer is definitely yes I would make them pay for the replacement, until you said the last part. What if I was the one to break someone elses doll (which I can totally see happening TTnTT) I would feel so bad that I would offer to repay them, and hope that they decline my offer. Remember when you were little, and your friends not in the room, your playing with their toy, it breaks and so you hide it pretending that nothing happened. Your friend finds it and your response it sort of like "ooohhh nooo how did that happen :C "

 

I someone broke my doll or chipped my doll I would not be so nice... I would want them to pay me for the damages because these dolls are not cheap. I try to worn others who are not aware of the hobby or the doll itself to be careful with it. But it does indeed enter my mind alot when I show my doll(s) to someone new. Makes me even cringe sometimes... it sucks.

 

If someone breaks my stuff, they have to pay for it. I'm very serious about everything I own, as I don't have much money and can't easily replace things.
As for dolls, well, I won't hand my doll over to just anyone to hold, if I do, I warn them that they are expensive and if they drop or damage him ... well. If I offer a friend to hold him, then that's my own fault if he gets damaged though. But a total stranger - in case I would hand him to someone like that - yep, there would be hell to pay, literally.
