Selling twice loved(second hand) BJD?

Well actually for me with a couple of my dolls its opposite. I worry about seeing pix on the site and when I get them im like omg! so much better XP

 

I sold the limho I bought preloved. He just didn't fit. I didn't feel bad about it, he was going to a great home.

And every doll I've sold have been sold again... and again after that. I feel like I give them bad luck or something XD

 

Well, I am currently selling a head I just didn't bond with. In order to bond with the head, I would have to mod the nose so much... I'm not sure if it would even be possible to do it!

But then I found another doll...

 

The only dolls I've ever sold were ones I purchased first hand, but I've kept all the second hand dollies. However I think it is fine to resell a second hand dolly if that would be best.

Sera~

 

I personally don't see anything wrong with selling a twice (or more) loved doll as a buyer, I guess that the only thing that I would need to know is that it really had been loved and taken care of and so long as the doll is in good condition then it really doesnt matter.
I realise that this may seem rather garbled but I hope you get what I mean lol

 

Personally I've always bonded closer with used dolls that I've purchased so, when I made the plunge into BJDs I bought a 3rd-hand doll and, so far, I love her to pieces!! ^__^

 

I love my new and old dolls and my old dolls actually i rescued them they werent treated very well. One was just sold cause she started to favor all the other ones more and the other was displayed not taken care off and needed a good washing off and plenty of tlc.

 

I think if your order a second hand doll promising to love it, but can't really connect with it, selling it ((okay, bad Nana, him/her)) is the best thing to do. That ways you're finding someone who can love him/her as he/she should be loved. So you're working to fulfil the owners origional intentions in the end anyways :3

...tho' i don't think i could ever sell my second hand doll ((actually, she's been through 2 past owners...)). Maybe her body to get her a newer one, but not her herself ever!

 

awe nana your twingkey is precious :X

 

Well, I'm the type that becomes attached to possessions so if I didn't bond well, I'd still feel a bit bad but hey, like others have said, someone willing to give you that much money must at least take good care of the doll. I'd need to feel like they were going to a loving home with someone who would play with them though.

 

I have bought many second-hand dolls. I think the most important thing is to find a loving home for the doll. My Rose is second-hand and she has been through at least two other owners. But now she has a permanent home here. I have sold a second hand face plate, which is sort of like selling the doll itself I think, but she must be happy in her new home. Here she did not get much attention and so I wanted her to go somewhere where she would have plenty of clothes to wear and love.

 

I'd feel bad re-selling, say, a puppy.

But a doll? Nope.

 

My great uncle was moved into the nursing home about a year ago, leaving his house in a state of well abandonment. We went through the house to get ready for it to sell and fond three statues. I know statues aren't dolls, but listen through. These had sentimental value to my great uncle and his sister, though when he handed them to me I wasn't "family". Okay, I'm your great niece, but that's besides the point. I think things that are treasure don't deserve to be forgotten inside a house with black cobwebs dangling from the ceilings, but at the same time there just material processions. If you find you don't want them what's the harm in selling them or giving them to someone else? It's better then having them waste away taking up space on a shelf.

 

I'm currently selling a doll who I know I'm at least the third owner of, so his next home will be his fourth. He was a doll that I'd wanted for a long time, but by the time I got around to buying him (which I did almost reflexively) my tastes had changed and I already had another doll filling the role he would have had.

I do find myself feeling sorry for him but he's just packed up in a box here, with all his worldly posessions, waiting to go to a new home. I don't imagine that if I took him down off the marketplace he'd ever come back out of the box - He'd probably just end up sitting in a cupboard, or up in the attic, totally forgotten.
