I used to be in a Bratz Collectors FB group, which I left due to personal reasons. There was a time where people would brag about mass harassing sellers on eBay for charging more than $70 for a Bratz doll(s). I found it very toxic to do that. I had left a little bit after the Bratz First Editions rerelease, and people had made complaints about the rereleases, and the majority of the group basically just called them entitled and childish for voicing their opinions on them. Even though they are the consumer and allowed to complain. Also, I'd be willing to spend up to $150 on a single Bratz doll even though most people will say $70 for a Felicia, even though if they had the chance they would no doubt sell her for $700. And yeah, I agree if people would stop paying the. prices they won't stop complaining about, the prices will go down a substantial amount.

I love your just talk videos 💜 never stop doing them you are so genuine & real No matter what you talk about ! My most expensive doll was my saks show white But I didn’t buy her my partner did for Christmas off eBay about 4 years ago for ($750) she was and will always be my ultimate holy Grail & now I see her on eBay for around (1500- 2500) Its insane. She is a favourite but my most favourite will always be my Anastasia doll I had as a little girl as I took her everywhere with me she is worn but she stays in my room as she is so sentimental to me . I personally would never sell my dolls neither as I buy them for nostalgia and personal contentment 💜 I’ve seen bratz take a huge jump in prices lately too which has put me off as the prices are ridiculous for the most part . I usually stick to marketplace here in Canada for my bratz as I’ve noticed the prices are not as high as what I see on eBay etc.

I've been asking myself questions about value since I picked up trying to collect Magical Girl (mainly Ojamajo Doremi and Pretty Cure) toys. Doremi in particular, because the toys are older, goes for a lot and I understand the idea of time driving up prices. BUT, I'm also not going to pay $400-$800 for a piece of plastic that probably retailed for like... $25-35 in 2001. I'd probably pay $50, maybe closer to $100 if I really, really want it, but not $200 if it's broken and not $550 even new in box. That's just me. Clearly there is market for them or they wouldn't go for that much, but it doesn't mean I have to pay it. Depending on the series, Pretty Cure can be more reasonable. You often find people selling lots of just random PreCure roleplay toys for good prices (likely parents cleaning out the house, to be fair). But when you have people who KNOW what they have and know that overseas fans have little options, they can get ridiculous. So I just keep looking and looking for deals. (It's why I'm short on Heartcatch merch. I was a broke 17YO when it came out and ten years later, it can be hard to catch up without breaking the bank.) I know that Glam Magic dolls were poorly distributed in the states (I didn't even know they existed until two years after they were released and I was an OG Winx fan), but I've heard that they're super common in Europe. Apparently people find them at flea markets and secondhand shops there all the time. When I was a kid, we only had one Toys R Us in my area and my parents never took me. They didn't like the area it was in and the traffic was a mess. If it wasn't at Walmart or Target, it didn't exist to my parents and I'm kinda sad I missed out. As far as Disney LEs go, the one in particular I know that sells for less than retail is Elena. I bought Elena close to her initial release (because I was naive and didn't realise that no one actually knew the show), but now she goes for around and sometimes less than her initial price. Not only because no one cares about her, but probably because there were 6,000 of them. I think they wanted it to be successful, but it just didn't work out because Disney hates their TVA and likes to dig their own holes and gave up on the merch way too quickly.

My Snow Queen Elsa is my most prized doll, but not for how much she's worth. I got her on eBay (unfortunately wasn't there for her release) for what she would have sold for in Canada. I saw people selling her for $500, but for me it was like "I love her but I can't justify spending $500 on her she's just not worth that." That said now that I have her she's my favorite because I love Elsa and this particular Elsa means a lot to me, not because I could sell her for a lot of money.

I'm also into collecting old gen ponies and it's such an extreme difference to doll collecting. I feel like pony people raise the prices based on, how many were made, what country they're from, how difficult it was at the time to get the pony, and did anyone buy it when they were being released (this is mostly for g4, since any pony that wasn't the mane 6 are rare now) I look at my pony wish list for all gens and realistically, I could have them all at one point. Maybe only spend $100 max on a few. I look at my doll wish list and cry. I know I'll never be able to get all or any of them. Their prices aren't based on limited quantity releases, or anything. The prices are based on nostalgia and people are so willing to pay for that massive price tag. Hopefully it calms down later down the line.

im in the squishmallow collecting community and two of the most popular squishes that used to sell for $200-$300 on mercari have gone down to $50 (which is CHEAP now) because people stopped buying them for that price. if buyers stop buying felicia and dresden for over $200, sellers will see that this doesn’t sell. all it takes is ONE person to buy a doll (even like a funk out yasmin) for a higher price than normal, and then every other seller sees that and assumes that she can sell for that price and her price is now higher!! why don’t people get this 😭

I've learnt with collecting, if there's one you really want that you think costs too much, don't have to buy it because you'll most likely find the same one cheaper in a month or two later I love your perception on this aswell, because there is so much more meaning to your collection that just the price/value

I think when it comes to anything i notice a lot of folks are just really self righteous and its sad that it has to be that way for them :/ that their way is the only way even in something as fun a hobby collecting. One of my parents has that type of mindset and yes it is a big kill joy always having to over-explain why you do this or that when it comes to your own money/purchases ): I kinda feel the way in terms of idc if an item is really rare theres a ton of rare stuff out there i thought was personally meh or im just not the type of person who like hunting down or chase rare/expensive items it is not fun for me at I wanna own stuff that i actually enjoy and bring happiness into my life whether it was 20$ or 200$ . plus I do tend to tread more on the curated side of things so with dolls as i only just got into being interested in them in the last 6 months i missed out on a good 75% of most people fave doll lines/limited edition releases that i would of been into if my situation had allowed me so i tend to be realistic i do want most of my dolls in box(i dont even own 30 nor do i think i want more than 50 tbh) so that might be easier than someone who owns lets say 630 dolls.

How can people suddenly dismiss dolls like this surprises me. I would never pay £50 for a playline Bratz or a MH. I know that if I am patient, I will eventually find them thrifting. Sometimes I find dolls in boot sales that I buy very cheaply. When I research them on line, I can't believe how much they cost. I would never buy a doll for its value. I only buy the ones I love.

They just sell regular common dolls. And many other doll collectors do the same!!! How do these kind of people sleep at night?

The way they coveted and acted like they were the ultimate dolls and treated them like a status symbol and then for some reason they fixated on Musa. Then people actually started paying more and more (these collectors are also prolific for scalping/selling cheap dolls for stupid prices). If spending that much makes them happy then it's fine but the Glam Magic price inflation is truly one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen
