Why did you sell your doll?

Um she was to tiny for me (15cm) I just couldnt do anything with her...sold her to a friend of mine! She has more love there../

 

I got a free doll *unexpected* with a doll i purchased and i didnt really like the doll. So I cleaned it up and re-sold her cause I need the money for my dream doll =]

 

I've only sold one so far, and he was an impulse buy I knew I would be getting rid of before I took delivery (Volks Genji.) Opening the box when he got here made me even more certain I made the right decision. He's a nice doll, but was not going to work for the character I was considering getting him for. That's why I have my Akando on the way.

I have a Yo on order through the Volks Feb event, but I have a sneaking suspicion I will be getting rid of her. Part of me wants her, the other part is screaming "no mini-me dolls for your characters, you haven't even finished the general character set yet!" (It'll probably be pretty easy to guess what I ordered by that statement )

I tend to research my dolls pretty throughly, so I haven't really had to sell any.

 

Lesse, I've sold a few now... all for different reasons
-I sold my mnf lishe boy becuase his look and how he acted was based after one of my favorite members from a band I liked, and then that member left the band it I was really sad, and then i looked at my doll and my doll just made me sad, so I sold him.
-I sold my dollzone recall because he was a little unexpected at first and I tried to work him in and fit him into the family, but he just never truely had a place
-I sold my DIM achernar primarily because the jointing on his body really annoyed and irked me and I kept looking at him and looking at him and finally decided that his face sculpt was too baby faced for the character.
-I then put my cp el up for sale and ended up trading him for a doll I was really wanting at the time becuase despite how much I loved him I decided that I was giving up on getting other characters from that story line and I just didn't like the idea so much of him being all alone like that. But I still think someday I'll end up with another el but as a different character.

 

I'm currently about to sell Daphne (my fourth BJD) and it will be a first for me. ^_^; The reason is mostly that I can't shake the feeling of her not really blonging here with me, with the others or even really in the story.

 

Because she couldn't wear high heels! I got her, opened the box, saw her ankle joints didn't allow her to wear high heels, and knew she would have to go.

 

I've had three dolls that I sold - actually my first three - and it was just because I grew out of them. My doll family was increasing in size and I noticed that my first three really weren't getting attention from me. So I decided it would be more fair to find them better homes, and I did! Plus, one was an MSD and he looked a bit out of place with the rest of my SDs. I think I'll be sticking with that size from now on!

 

I sell dolls parts get money for other parts.
Like heads. I sell the head i dont feel for anymore for money to buy another head for the body.^^

 

As of now I've only sold one doll, a MNF El and while I thought I'd regret it at the time, now I definately know I made the right decision. He was already an impulse buy as it was, mostly because I adore his character and I didn't want to lose him. But due to the difficulty of the time in when I adopted him it felt really odd thinking of him as 'mine', though I tried my best to get accustomed to him.

Mostly though, I was very frustrated that he was just too small for the character I needed him to be. His proportions annoyed me to no end and he just looked plain odd when interacting with my other dolls, especially his lover which was the real heart twister for me. And after visiting a meet-up where I saw many larger dolls of all sizes it was on the ride home that day that I knew that was what I really needed for this character. I tried to give him a little bit longer to see if he'd grow on me but he didn't and up for sale he went. Currently I've just ordered a new doll for the same character, but this time in SD size ( a LM Kliff ) and I'm glad for making the decision that I did. Also learned a valuable lesson too-impulse buys aren't the thing for me and no more MNFs

 

I never would have envisioned myself selling a doll but I recently sold one I've had for a couple of months. It wasn't that I didn't like her but I just had other dolls that I liked more. And I couldn't justify keeping a doll around that I wasn't really smitten with. And in between the time that I received her and the time I sold her, I came to realize that she wasn't really the style of doll that I've started to like. So she moved on to a good home and a very appreciative new owner.

 

I never thought I'd sell a doll when I first got into the hobby. A year later I sold my SD girls because I found the size was just too big for me... and I went with tinies. Then tinies came and went because I fell out of love with their molds or bodies or I just needed the money at the time.

 

I had an SD sized doll for about a week and then turned around and sold him. There was nothing wrong with the doll itself, but I just didn't love him or like the fact that he was so big. I much rather have an MSD sized doll or smaller!

 

Size was an issue with me too.

I ADORE SD and MSD sized dolls, but they always seemed to come and go without much regret from me...

but I had had 2 YoSD dolls that I had sold... and have regretted it ever since... plus the 2 dolls that have been here the longest (going on 3 years) are Yo sized... that clued me in to the fact that maybe, juuuust maybe, Yo size was what I should stick with!

 

I'm sleeing my puki becuase shes too damn small for me:< She's suuper cute but too small....

 

I've sold a lot of dolls since discovering ABJD's only last year for various reasons. Sometimes it's been financial, sometimes I thought I would love a particular sculpt and then when they arrive the attraction wanes, also I sell them because I can only spend a certain amount of money on dolls There are so many out there and new ones arriving all the time but of course you can't buy every doll you think you love.

Besides, I told myself six would be the limit, I'm reducing that to three or four now so some have to go to make way for the (hopeful) 'keepers'

 

I have sold two. The first was a puki. Everyone was raving about them and they did look cute and were inexpensive. I got caught up in "puki mania" I got her home, maybe posed her once or twice and knew... she just wasnt going to fit in my growing doll family.

I then was saving for a SD Kara but got impatient and got the MSD sized version Pado, because he was cheaper and I thought he would be close. After a short while I knew I had made a second mistake and sold him so I could get the Kara that I had been aiming for in the first place.

 

I sold one of them because I couldn't really get to like him. He was totally different from promo pics and he was my first doll, so, I didn't know better.
I sold another one because I felt I couldn't do anything more with him. I used to make many pics of him but then i ran out of ideas and he was just sitting there.
And I sold one more, he was a head, because I felt guilty I couldn't get him a body. Now he lives with my friend and he still doesn't have a body but it's her turn to feel guilty over it

 

I have fourteen dolls now (counting DoA OTs), and another on the way and will probably never sell any of them - each is special to me in their own way and I have dozens of things I want to do with them. They range in size from Puki to Lati Red - I couldn't ever imagine a doll being 'too small' or 'too big' - I hope to get both a Lati White and a Soom Mecha sometime -mañana- when each line releases a mold that hits the Tibbyzone, that indefinable place where it moves from 'what a cool doll' to 'ZOMG! must haz NAO!!'.

However, sometime in the future I could see myself buying with the full intention of selling - there are a lot of dolls I'd love to face-up, but really don't want to own. Knowing me, though? I'd get 'attached' and wind up keeping them!

 

I am selling my DollZone Wilka, because he doesn't fit the character I had in mind for him. He is cute and has big eyes-- I thought it's enough... and with the right eyes and the right wig, he would be what I wanted him to be. Unfortunately no, I can't see the wanted character in him, no matter what. I have also decided he is too big-- his face is pretty childlish, but his hands and feet are BIGXD Now I am going for Volks SD10 boy body

 

the only doll ive had move on was my DZ Shoyo. i liked the doll a lot, but decided it was time to put her up for sale/trade when i realized that i just couldnt make her be the character she was bought for. i think because of this we just couldnt bond and she spent most of the time on a shelf. i really wanted to trade her for any one of the dolls on my "list" but ended up getting a MNF Shiwoo, so not on the list. but as soon as i saw him it was love, and by the end of my first day with him we had bonded more than i ever did with the Shoyo. it made wonder if part of it was that she was my only girl...i hope not. i really would like to try her again as a MNF Miyu or Marcia. i think the look of these dolls is more what i need for that character.
