Would you sell a doll you're really bonded to?

Sell a doll I'm extremely bonded to? Nope.

As of now I have one boy, Fyedka, who I know I could never part with. If I was in such a dire situation in that I desperately needed money, yes, I would sell my others boys first, I would miss them all quite badly but if given no other choice, I would. But if I was really down to the wire where I was pressured to sell Fyedka, I still wouldn't do it. Not only would it not make much sense econimically as he is after all a DoC with the old body which now would only rake in about $300 at best, but he's an extremely modified DoC as well-claws, dyed resin, tummy mod, etc. which would also require me to dock down his price quite a bit. And I'm sure if I were to the desperate point of considering selling him then that $200 ( as would be the most I'd probably get for him ) probably wouldn't go very far anyway, and that's only given the scenario that someone would even want to buy a heavily modded old DoC anyway.

And of course that's only being econimically sensible. Emotionally speaking, I connect with Fyedka on so many levels and he comforts me quite deeply that if I were at the end of my rope and needing money, I'd most likely already be beyond stressed as it is and losing the one last material item that gives me joy ( tv, books,games,etc. yup, can totally sell all that junk off first ) would probably put me over the edge.

But that's just how I think of it.

 

I would not sell my favorite doll. She is part of my landscape. I look at her and relax because she is beautiful to see.

 

I had to. I sold a doll I was very attached to. She was technically on loan until I could get the money back, but I couldn't, and the person that bought it needed medical money, so I told her she could sell her.

Now she's living happily in New Zealand with a new owner but it still kills me sometimes to remember her.

 

I used to say no.. But If i had to, yea I would. Now, I'll say that if I had to sell someone Shaant would be the very last to go...Granted, he was my...6th doll (?) but there's somethin about him that I just can't let go of.

 

I don't think I would.

The $400 I could get from selling them, wouldn't help much in the long run, I think.

Besides it would be too hard to put him in a box and send him away forever :<

 

i was actually thinking about this the other day - or rather, i was thinking about how i could never, ever sell my doll. i agree with iSparrow, the money wouldn't be enough to get you very far anyway and besides, then you'd just be poor and unhappy D:

 

I'm doing it right now...I love my Lotus but I'm much happier with the MSDs....eh. But the character is staying and will be reincarnated as a Luts Bory, so it's not so bad I suppose.

 

I think it's quite painful to sell a doll you're bonded to. All the dolls I sold were the ones I felt least bonded to (but I still loved them). It'd probably be unbearable to part with a doll that you really love deeply.
I have one doll I'd never sell; with all others... perhaps there are situations when I might, but I really wouldn't want to.

 

There's no way I could, speically if I had it for such a long time.

 

I may have to, considering current economic trends, and dratted unsubsidized student loans. It's simply difficult, because the dolls I've had the least amount of time to become attached to are relatively difficult to find, and the ones that are easily found - I'm very emotionally attached. Either way, it's a losing situation, but in the end, dolls don't pay my bills, and dolls don't buy me food, and, unfortunately, those come first.

 

Hm...at first I was afraid I might not get attacted to my doll ( has read sad stories about bonding) but some photoshoots definatly helpd with the bonding process

Anyways, I would never sell my doll ( I have only one for now) I just couldnt, it would make me feel a little guilty as well. besides there are allways other things I can sell if its neccesary

But i'm the kind of person that makes sure there is allways enough money, being broke is something I cant bare >.< (feels like i'm naked O.o )
So if I can keep up my current life style I wont have to worry about my doll...I hope

 

If I had to I would. Like if my Step-Mom or Dad had no money then I'd try to help them. But I would be sad that I had to sell my dolls.

 

Only if I absolutely had to for financial reasons. Even then, it would be a last resort.

 

If I had to, absolutely. If a loved one was sick? Then hell yeah, the doll is going. I have plenty of other stuff I can sell first, but if it comes down it, life is always most important. Dolls are just objects.

 

Firstly, glad to hear that your situation turned out well and your boy will be back home soon!

It would depend on my situation, but I think I could take a loan out from family members to keep me afloat and avoid getting rid of my dolls. My parents said, "Those are your keepsakes! How wonderful to have them...don't ever get rid of them!" It was very sweet.

 

I did it once, but that was an odd situation where her faceup changed and she was different, etc. I still regret it, though.

Otherwise, no - unless selling the doll would prevent my loved ones from being harmed or something xD But that will never happen obviously.

Compared to my other dolls, my first doll Tsukasa, a DZ Megi, is not as remarkabke - but he's my first boy, and I waited lik3 5 years to get a doll like this, so he is extra special to me. They pretty much all are, at this moment, there isn't one I'd part with except Senya.

 

I've run into some really hard times, but I don't even think to sell any of my dolls. It just isn't an option to me.

 

oddly the one thing I have never considered doing is selling my dolls, i have considered selling my apartment, but never my dolls to pay bills etc.

I have recently put out a feeler for one of my favourite lovlies though, not because I need the money, but because though I love her dearly her character is less important to my crew, she fits in the least (is almost an antagonist being my primary's ex wife) so I am looking to see if she could find a new home and I can then bring home someone closer to the group. If she does sell I may rebuy her another time, as she is an unlimited and affordable, though uncommon sculpt.

 

no......just no.

 

I think I couldn't.
If it was really necessary I probably would sell the doll that I bonded the least with or something like that.
But my first doll, Emily, just needs to stay with me.
I feel like I need to take care of her and nobody else.
