Most expensive doll you bought? Least expensive doll you bought?

Most expensive - Napalm Dolls Hush around 600 dollars (bought from the UK so exchange rate made it expensive). But she came with clothing and her original bag and I love that doll so no regrets.

Cheapest - a secondhand Doll Chateau for 250. Also no regrets - she’s a little scuffed up but I don’t mind, and she’s got poseable fingers!

 

Most expensive - Aimerai Akagi (68cm fullest / aimerai x code noir limited edition) was almost $800 which is way more than I ever thought I'd pay for a doll but here we are haha. Love him so much though.

Cheapest - Supia Doll Hannah, was able to get her second hand for $250+shipping which felt like a steal since she had the company faceup and full body blushing.

 

Most expensive - Off the top of my head I think it was my Doll Choice Iplehouse Ron which cost me about $1000 but I have several hybrids which cost nearly as much.

Cheapest - My Obitsu elf Gretel who I paid about $60 for on eBay… she came in immaculate condition with a lovely Garden of Dolls faceup. I understand that these older Obitsu sculpts are slightly harder to come by now so I treasure her

 

Most expensive would be the fantasy versions of Dream Valley Sylves and Dream Valley Order which were a bit over $500 each.
I think my least expensive doll was my Resin Soul Yan for like $180

 

Most expensive would be my Volks FCS SD girl who I've ordered through an agent - she'll probably set me back about $1000 USD once she's finished and in the post.
Least expensive is Marin, my SDC Toki/MSD girl hybrid from Dolly Teria, for ¥12,500, but her grumpy little face is priceless to me!

 

Most expensive is my Euphoria - Narmer from idealian soom which cost me almost 1400 up with shipping but he totally worth it and no regret because I waited for a long time for him to come out again. I would buy another if I have $$$$ My least expensive is my Snowball from loong soul fullset $400.

 

My most expensive dolls tend to range right around the $1K mark - usually because I also order brown resin and as many optional hands and feet as I can (those tend to add up). I generally order Iplehouse face-ups too for my big girls, because I've found them consistently beautiful. Still sad that Iplehouse doesn't offer hand and foot blushing anymore - they did such a beautiful job.

Cheapest? Ooh. That's a tie between my Minoruworld Jr. Leila tiny ($80) and the Angel of Dream 58 cm body I found on Mercari (U.S.) for $75. The AoD body was just the best purchase for me as a newbie collector, because I learned to string, dye, and hot-glue suede on that body.

Although I don't know if either count. I have an odd habit of hybriding affordable finds with more expensive purchases:

Dream Valley Z7 head on AoD body.


Minoruworld Jr. Leila on DFH 1/5 body


Resinsoul Mei ($100 for full doll) on Souldoll Soulkids new female body (a lot more moneys), Unoa Lusis head on Peak's Woods FOB body (ditto)...

 

Most expensive doll I bought was DoDollsDream Misao (650 Euro). But she really worth it, beautiful sculpt, mold, skin color.
Cheapest doll was AtelierMomoni Somny. Not sure, but about 350 Euro. She is really cute, good poser and so tiny.

 

Most of my collection has been acquired second hand and I've been lucky to have stumbled upon some very good local listings without being overly picky with the willingness to do some tlc. My cheapest doll was a Dollzone Shoyo that I paid €50 for (she was in quite a sad shape).

My most expensive is probably my Unoa/Huajing hybrid because all parts are brand new and I paid extra for a tan body. But even so, I don't cross many collectors' "cheapest doll" threshold with the €200-something sum

 

Cheapest? Dream Valley Coco for like, $80. Scored her in a sale at Clover Singing; I got lucky.

Most expensive? Dream Valley Griffin the dragon in white. Not the most expensive option for him but easily the most I've paid for a doll. But he's gonna be worth it.

 

My most expensive doll is my dream valley withered black horseman who was around 1200$ and almost 400€ custom fee He is 75cm tall, fullset and came in 3 packages.
My cheapest doll is my gem of doll puff. She is 1/6 and was about 180$

 

Most expensive doll, hands down, is my Volks F38 boy in sunlight skin. I ordered him through a proxy here on DoA with the works. Custom faceup, extra hands, wig, eyes, outfit...When all was said and done he was about $1400. He's the only doll purchase of mine that broke 4 digits. I was blessed at the time with the money to get him and I don't regret it but I do look back like...wow. How did I do that?? xD

Cheapest doll is a bit tricky for me to figure out...I've been gifted a number of dolls by close friends so technically they were free? But if we're talking dolls I actually paid for...maybe the $79 Soom Gem girl body I got from SKYWHYS? Uneven yellowing and broken/missing fingers on one hand. But I adore the body and it's perfect for my F60 Sionna head.

 

Most Expensive: Very likely my Atelier Momoni Pitusas. I love them to pieces, but they are the most I've spent on a BJD thus far. Oh, totally worth it though, I had been admiring them for years and in hand they're even better than I had thought they were. The faces are so characterful and the posing is amazing. Plus the resin just feels really nice.

Cheapest: Um, oh! That would be my little Resinsoul pups! Still adore them to pieces, and honestly tend to me my go to for just picking up a doll to sit with for a little bit. I still have a few Resinsoul sculpts that I really like, so who knows what the future will bring.

 

Most Expensive: My big frankendorrie takes the cake on this one. (Angell Studio Rebus head + IoS Class70 body + Dollzone jointed claw hands + Leekeworld goral horns)
Cheapest: My second-hand Dream of Doll DoC Petsha. Bought her from a local doll owner at a fair price.

 

My most expensive doll was back in 2006, a Volks Spring Stroll Liz who was $1200. I still have her and she’s a favorite. My least expensive doll was free - a volks sei tenshi I won in the lottery at the Volks Mansion party in 2005.

 

Pretty sure my most expensive is my Dolfie Dream 9S (bought secondhand). Unfortunately I've never really been able to bond with him; he was kind of an impulse buy from very early on in my time in the hobby.

I think my cheapest is my little DollZone KeAi that I found on Xianyu! He was actually a grail of mine for a while—super cute and super hard to find outside of the Chinese market. So I was thrilled to find him at all, especially at a reasonable price!

 

Most expensive is my Angelheim Raul. I bought him from a friend in 2012 for $850. It took me a long time to bond with him as he was an impulse buy because my friend had announced she was parting with him only a few weeks aftwer she got him, and I just knew I wanted him so much. But in the end, we got there.

The "Cheapest" is my Bobobie Nissa; she was free, a gift from a friend as a thank you to a few of us that helped out a fellow BJD person. I bonded with her immediately and named her Largo... after the Bond villain (though she's not villainous, just a librarian)

 

My most expensive was my Iplehouse doll choice Leonard that cost $1,000+ I got him with a custom faceup to look like one of my favourite video game characters.
My cheapest is a smilesdoll flore I bought from DoA for around $220.

 

Welp, cheap doll remains the same. New winner of most expensive doll: Littleoverbearingceo Lost Myth Ares. With shipping and all, he ran me $1,300.
Big bois are PRICEY. WOOF.

 

The most expensive doll I've ever bought was probably my Ring Doll Red King - Retro Version. With full set, shipping and customs fee I paid almost $1,100.

The cheapest was a YoSD from Doll n Doll I purchased from a collector who was leaving the hobby and was selling everything for cheap, if I'm not mistaken I paid around $50.
