If someone broke your doll?

To me, it depends on the damage and sometimes the person...

If it was a very serious damage, that I couldn't fix then I would get quite angry and demand the person pay to have the damage fixed. If they refuse, I would hunt them down until they do.

If it was something I could repair myself by following a tutorial, I'd only be a little frustrated..but it would be a few months before I let them near the dolls again..

I guess I wouldn't feel as mad if the person who did serious damage to the doll was my best friend, as I'm sure it would be completely by accident.

If I, myself broke another persons doll, I would pay the full price and maybe even buy them a small present for the doll or for the person, as I would feel so guilty..

 

It really depends on the situation. If it was touched without permission, then obviously they should pay. However, if I gave them permission, I can't be -too- angry; not that permission to hold them is the same as permission to break.

 

"Well, an eye for an eye- Hold still. "
Hopefully the person will back off a bit and offer up
to pay for the damage any way possible so long as I
don't put a crack in their face, or break off one of their
fingers/chip their nose, etc etc.
If they don't make any offers, well then, I'll just have to
help them to pay what they owe.
*cracks knuckles*

 

I'd turn into a fiery fiend right from hell and rip off their head, breathing fire and brimstone!

Nah, seriously, I'd probably go along with this:

If I allow them to hold it and they accidentally break it, it's my own fault. If they take it without permission and break it, they pay. If I allow them to hold it and they break it on purpose - well, there IS the fiery fiend option ...

 

If it was done perposely I'd tear who ever it was a new one regardless of the level of damage. The butt kicking would definitely get worse depending on the damage level D< on top of it they'd be paying.

If it was accidental I'd still be upset and depending how bad the damage they would be paying for it.

 

I guess I would ask for at least half of the cost to replace. I would take it as partially my fault for letting someone else hold my doll in the first place, but really, anyone you would trust to hold your doll would know how valuable they are and should be extremely careful. Accidents do happen, so you should monitor the person holding your doll at all times to make sure they aren't doing something to it that could lead to damage. If that person is really your friend, I think they would just volunteer to help with a replacement.

 

Sorry if this sounds harsh!! Dollfies are extremely fragile and in innocent hands accidents may happen so the best thing to do is to give them the info previously and observe with caution! Or do what I would do and don't let anybody play unless they know what they are playing with!! As the meerkats say SIMPLES!!! ((><)) X

 

I always tell people before I let them hold it, you break, you pay.
In money of course. so far Duchess and Valerie as survived the worst without any major, or minor damage.

 

If I caused the damage I would offer to pay to have the part repaired/replaced, definitely. I would hope that others would do the same if they damaged my doll. I'm not sure if I would ask them to or not, it depends on the situation.

 

I was just thinking about this the other day, because while school is in session I have roommates, and young art students aren't the brightest... anything, really. If a roommate were to break any part of my doll, I would tell them how much a replacement would cost, and if they didn't offer to pay for it, I would get the school involved and contact their parents to tell them what their daughter broke and how much it'll cost to fix it.

After a lot of crying on my part and complaining on the roommate's part.

 

I'd probably make them pay for repairs, unless it was something very simple and inexpensive I could cure on my own.

 

If someone damaged my doll, I would expect them to pay for it, either it was an accident or otherwise. If I damaged someone else's doll, I would feel responsible, and offer to pay for any repairs that might be needed. ;w; So I'm just going to be careful whenever handling another person's doll. ^^;​

 

it would depend on what was broken~ if it were something easy to replace like hands i'd make them pay and it wouldn't be a big deal but if it were my old irreplaceable Nono's head~ i'd fear for that persons life XD

 

I once let my exgirlfriend who i completely trusted then.. take my boy with her to Michigan for the weekend because she just got her new doll.

He apparently fell and got the paint on his lips messed up.. so instead of telling me about it and leaving it alone.. She wiped off the rest of his lip paint and mashed on what she says was water color pencil.. it was gross and sticky.. ._. He also came home with lots of scratches in his joints which she said was from the sand from when.. she put him in lake michigan ;-;

However I have asked if she'll pay for a new face up for him since she ruined his lips.. and She refuses.. ._. -le sigh-

 

I was in a situation earlier this week where this came to mind...
i was staying at a friends, i brought my girl, my friends sister when completely insane, she cracked her face and ruined the face up, the first thing that came to mind : " How am i gonna pay to get this fixed?"
but i have started trouble with this girls sister before, it was 3am, so i did not say anything this time. but if this happens again, the first words to come out of my mouth will be, "that will be 500 bucks hun." and will stop all contact with that person

 

There's a reason why it's not legal to drive a car without insurance. If you cause damage to someone else's car, you have to pay for it. That goes with anything, by accident or otherwise. I would most definately compensate someone if I damaged their doll or doll accessory, and I fully expect the same treatment. This isn't a cheap hobby no matter how you look at it, and a doll isn't easily replaced, especially if it's been modded in any way that was labor intensive.

I'm nice and generally not demanding, but it's different when money is involved, and the sentimental value most people attatch to their dolls makes the whole thing much worse. I would actually think very lowly of someone if they didn't offer compensation in some way.

 

I thought about this soon after I ordered my first doll. I'd cry if it ever happened and I would HOPE if someone broke my doll they'd atleast offer to pay for the damage. However it wouldn't be necessary.
I put everyone of my dolls on their own insurance policy. I can not encourage this enough! If you have the ability to afford it (insuring my 4 dolls all at full cost including what I paid for shipping isn't even running me $10 a year!) please get it. Thankfully the policy covers payment if the doll is broken, doesn't matter who did it or where.
And ofcourse PLEASE becareful with your limiteds....even insured they would be very difficult to replace or fix. I don't think anyone would think less of you if you said "Sorry but he/she's a limited and I'd feel better if I hold him."

 

My dad broke the finger on one of my dolls back in June (he knocked Mikail off a cabinet that Mikail was sitting on top of) and he immediately offered to pay for a new doll.

I kinda looked at him funny, but appreciated the offer. My way of looking at it was that yes, my Dad should have been more careful, but at the same time, I had Mikail sitting on top of a cabinet above a metal sink. I knew that cabinet was probably going to be opened at some point and yet I didn't move Mikail. So it was partly my own fault.

Now, had that been Lillith or Ramsay (my tans) things may have been MUCH different since it's harder to fix tans properly.

 

Currently, I only have one doll, a Littlefee Pipi, but I modded him so that makes him very special to me. I know my friends and family think I am crazy, but he almost feels real to me. If someone where to break or damage him it would really hurt me badly. Of course, I would demand that they pay for the damages, but there would be a part of me that will know that "My" special little guy will be gone forever because the new doll would not be him.

 

well my doll fell thrice (and once into a hard marble floor) and nothing happened, not a scratch or etc.
