Peakswoods Fairies of Colors Discussion PART VIII

Thank you!

 

Hi, i love hon and gumiho miro but the price is 1200$ for a nude doll with faceup on dde, was it the real price on Peakswoods ?

 

They were about $1000/1030 from Peakswoods with the options DDE has, so they're definitely charging more. Likely because of whatever contract they do or don't have or shipping. So yeah, they're priced a little higher there. Peakswoods dolls are already so expensive ><

 

Thanks a lot , i Guess as she is limited it's a fair Price from a dealer..

 

It might be because of the shipping fee from Korea. Last time I bought a doll directly from Iplehouse it was almost $100 to ship a slim MSD size doll to the US. If I go on Peakswoods and use this listing the total comes to $1,065 for all the same options. It looks like DDE is adding $155, and if you subtract what is probably an expensive shipping fee they're maybe only making $55, or maybe nothing at all considering she's a bigger 1/3 girl. Just my best guess here. I don't know what the current shipping situation from south Korea is this year, but a year or so ago it was nuts.

 

I highly doubt DDE pays shipping from Peakswoods- more likely that PW eats it for the opportunity to sell so many dolls at once. DDE's in stock dolls would have arrived with ordered dolls together in a big shipment. Or, they are possibly dolls that people ordered and cancelled.

 

You could be right. It's just DDE does not seem to be a full time dealer of Peakswoods dolls. I've emailed them several times when there's an event and they say they're not participating and I can't order through them. They seem to only order a certain amount of the limiteds at random. I have no idea what their arrangement is, it just doesn't seem to be the same as with Fairyland, Dollzone, etc.
I guess you can call the extra cost the second chance tax or something lol.
I have always been really curious how dealers operate and stuff, it must be so fun to be able to see all the different dolls.

 

I think this is an unusual question but I’m leaving the hobby and hope to sell everyone. I just don’t know how best to do it. I don’t know how to post photos on DOA so I need another option. I have 4 FOC girls and would like a fair price, but I’m not looking to make money. I want a good home. Can someone give me an idea of what would be a good price range. I have a tan Tristian, 2 Rosemii, and Mona in Pink Punch. Thanks for any help. They do have Oscar eyes, wigs and extras, but these are gifts.

 

If you want to sell them on DoA, you need to figure out how to include photos. DoA does not host photos, so you have to use a photo hosting website (personally I use flickr), and when you make a sale thread there is a section for photos, where you just paste the image's URL.

If you can't figure out the image hosting thing, you can try to sell them on Instagram. However, hashtags have been seriously compromised there so buying and selling has slowed down because people can no longer browse the dolls for sale. So you'd rely on others sharing your post, or you can tag accounts that share sale posts ("bjdsale" and "bjd__sale" are the two that I know of).

Another option, which I don't really recommend, is to use eBay. Not sure how quickly stuff sells there, but you'll get more fees taken out AND there's a lot of scamming by buyers these days. But, you can upload photos directly and don't have to put up with social media shenanigans.

I can't really advise you on how much to ask, that's up to you. But the secondhand market is full of dolls, so if you want them to go fast then you can do a lower price to make them more enticing.

 

Just adding to what overlordu said:

Facebook marketplace is not bad. You can upload photos directly from your device, no need for hosting.
There are several sales groups you can join, and you can have your sales post go up in multiple groups, after you've joined those groups, and their mods review your post.

I have found it useful both as a seller and buyer. Just make sure to read the rules for the groups, and make sure to detail your sales carefully, with all necessary info. Don't be afraid to ask people for their feedback threads too.

 

If the dolls have one of the limited face ups and are in very good/like new condition you can probably start at around their original cost.
Lower the price for any issues (yellowing, scratches, stains, damaged face up or hands blushing).
For the basic face ups you will have to start lower than original price I think. Since it's easier to find/buy.

If you prefer a quick sale make it cheaper. (money is tight for a lot of people with inflation and costs rising) You can also always reduce the price if you don't get buyers.

 

Hello! I have a question that has been turning in my head for a while like a kebab.
I would love to give my normal resin FOC Dandy Han heeled feet, so he can wear lovely high heels shoes.
Has anyone already changed the feet of their bjd and have any idea of what brands can fit?
I have searched a bit and these by Doll Family H seem a good option. In that case, does anyone know if there's a colour that resin matches, or gets close to PW normal?

 

@Veraverorum I'm not sure about feet, but I do know that Luts Real Skin Peach is fairly similar to Peaks Woods Normal.

 

Thank you, that's already a very useful information!

 

I feel like I get possessed by a resin demon every autumn when the Halloween event comes. My resin fever gets higher and higher. I have been wanting a Peakswoods doll for years now, but I still don't have any room in my budget for one. Lemon Blue in the emerald skintone would be a dream. Might as well try to save some money for one next year since I always end up thinking about them when autumn arrives!

 

I know exactly how you feel, Peakswoods always gets me to come near draining my life savings. Straight up possession lol. I'm struggling getting my cart under 3 dolls right now and that's after I told myself to behave. And they went and added Kass for me when I asked so now I feel like I have an obligation lol. But I'e been craving a Goldie and am scared she won't be released again. Struggling so bad with this release. Need to rob a bank lol

 

Yes indeed! Every time I feel like I don't need new resin right now they come and tease with their event. Ughh I totally understand the need to buy her just in case she won't be released again. I always fear that with dolls, too. So, uhh, count me in with the bank robbery then...

 

I feel that. They added Lottie as option for me. I can only afford one doll at this event, and I can't get my eyes of Mona. I think I want Mona more. I feel guilty

 

Oh no! I understand, I would feel quilty, too. But sometimes preferences change and that's always valid. I wish you luck with deciding!

 

In the future, just remember that Peakswoods is the nicest doll company on this earth and will probably do what you ask, so be careful! Twice they have done special requests for me, they are so sweet!!!

I can't even look at their event this year, I'm so super broke and their beautiful Halloween offerings will break my heart! Someday I hope I can get Mimi Crow in a fantasy color... maybe next Halloween!
