What was the cost of your first doll vs. your most recent doll?

My 1st doll was about 160 and i just a supia doll head for 50 dollars. hoping to get the 65 cm body soon

 

First doll: $400
Most recent doll: $2400 she's a Volks FCS with special face up, resin and skin tone. I feel no regrets.

 

My first doll was Dollzone Megi in tan fullset which was $300 or so? I don't remember the exact number and it is so long ago I have switched e-mail accounts and stuff.

Most recent is Dollmore Dell also a fullset which was $1,577.98. Plus $450 for an alternate Dell head I am layaway-ing because Dollmore came out with new Dell heads like right after he arrived.

How things escalated lol

 

First: some SD AoD, < 300$

Latest: Soom ID Garion, 837$

 

First: Mimi-chu by Villitunes on Instagram, 382 USD

Latest: Ursula Eris by dodollsdream on Instagram, 660 EUR with extra hands and feet

 

Taking into account that my first doll was acquired in 2014 and the last one was received in 2021, and the exchange rate of my currency changed drastically I don't even know how to compare
If I count correctly, my first doll (Angell Studio Rone, bought on a secondary market) cost ~$300, and the last one (Ringdoll Norman 2.0, bought from Ringdoll) was ~$550.

 

Hoo boy, this a doozy.

My first doll was a secondhand Mystic Kids Francis who was $185 (brand new he would've been $199).

My most recent full doll purchase, and likely the last one for a while, was a Soom Idealian 75 Ender, bought directly from their site for $801 before shipping.

It's quite the jump. I never thought I'd see the day where I blew that much on a hunk of plastic, but... Well to be fair, he's a very pretty hunk of plastic, and their new ID chip thing is pretty neat.

 

Oh wow, this is quite a mixture! I've noticed a lot of people stay in the same price range but a couple of bigger numbers for the last dolls compared to the first. For me, it really hasn't changed too much other than when I bought my first doll, the Canadian dollar was basically on par with the US dollar so the exchange rate didn't hit me so hard like it has in recent years. I always knew I wanted the bigger scale of dolls so I was expecting high costs right away.

First doll: 2008, second hand Dollshe Hound from 2006, for $600.
Most recent doll: Grand Senior Delf Mars with a faceup with exchange rate, around ~$1000

I wish I liked smaller dolls for myself LOL

 

My First doll was Free, my Mom bought him when I entered the doll hobby back in 2006-2007, I officially got on DOA in 2007.
I can't really say "My most recent doll" because I bought two this month; cost $1029.20 after shipping.

I NEVER thought I would spend more than $300 on a doll, but I exclusively buy SD sized dolls. So that almost blows that budget out of the water right off the bat. Furthermore, I am now only purchasing resin that I absolutely CANNOT live without (Old CP) and looking to purchase some Volks Vinyl fullsets.

 

first doll was around $170 i believe, resinsoul mei.
Latest doll was a little over $1k with shipping and she a very limited grail so i splurged youpladoll lilith

 

I spent around $750 on my Black Elf Sha back in 2009. Accounting for inflation between then and now, that estimated amount is around $930.
My Lieselotte preorder was $985.
The numbers aren't too far off, if you keep inflation in mind. I think these two are the dolls I've spent most on as well. I can see myself buying doll less or more than that in the future though. I'd rather not spend so much on a doll, but sometimes the doll you fall in love with is expensive. I just consider myself lucky when they're more affordable!

 

Oh
My first doll cost about 300$ from company, but I bought it from another member in hobby for lower price. (It was dollzone MO-2)
Now I can spend 1000 $ and more for just doll and more money for make-up, blushing and etc.

 

First doll: Luts kid delf kiwi romance. I think after everything else I got my order totaled around 380-400? it was a while ago.

Latest doll: Well dolls. I got Dianna and Katyusha fullsets from Gem of doll. They were 774$

 

My first doll was Crobidoll Yeon-Ho and he was $586 with a face-up (before shipping). My most recent doll purchase was Soom Tei and he was $801 without a face-up (before shipping as well). It's quite a jump in price but I prefer Soom's taller guys and they are more than worth the money!

 

My first doll was a Dream of Doll Sha that I bought back in 2007. I believe he was about $650 including faceup but before shipping.

My most recent doll purchase is a Volks FCS SD13 girl, and she cost about $1000, but I haven't received her yet. The most recent doll I purchased that I've received was Volks SDGr Cain, and he cost about $3000 second-hand.

 

First doll: Iplehouse Leonard around $840 I got him through IP doll choice
Latest doll: Angell Studio Fiona event head + body roughly around $500

 

First doll, a Bobobie Isabella with faceup, brand new from DDE: $98+shipping
Latest doll, Myou Vieruodis blank secondhand: $170+shipping

Though, if you count the one I still have on layaway, it'll be about $1400 for a full option fullset Fairyland Miwa

 

My first doll was smart doll infinity which I bought her on 2018, she was 52000 yen less than 500$. Yet my last purchase is suigintou head about 2000$ .
