Athena/Pearl is definitely a loved baby by many…my dream baby too! I bet it’s hard to make a decision to let her go. She is so prefect and definitely going to be a hard baby to get if you put it up for sale as many are going to grab her in two seconds. Thanks for sharing and God bless you. ❤
Hey girl! Going through this right now! I have cut down my collection significantly in the last year. My. Preferences changed over time, realizing that silicone was where my heart is. Also, selling to buy, which I thought I would never do, forever, babies, suddenly, became the means to bring home a dream baby. Difficult choices, but what in life is ever easy, lol. You will make the right choice. For you! ❤
Yeah omgosh making decisions is really really tough! Especially on my silicones, but I will absolutely have to sell if I want to bring a new baby home. Obviously Oscar is off the table I'm certainly not ready to sell him. Not sure I will ever be. But I will have to sell both Ollie & Athena if I truly want to bring home a sister for Oscar. I spent some time with Ollie today. I freaking adore him. I adore Athena, but I do feel like I need a change!
@@piximommysreborns I understand.. what about selling some of your reborns? I know you have some beautiful, high-end reborn, even selling few of them would be significant..as I’m sure you have SOLE.. just thinking so you wouldn’t have to part with your silicones.
I have drastically reduced my collection over the past eight months. At one time I had close to 50. I still have a big collection (19), but I feel so much better. I've also sold a grip of clothes. After three years, I finally loss that feeling that I "need" EVERYTHING, lol. Hugs to you and the babies. (: xo ❤💫
Hi my Dear Shara! Yes yes I feel like we all evolve over time in our collecting. I went through phases. I think when everything is so new we want to experience all the different sculpts & artists & clothing too. I feel like a lot of us chose to downsize once we've had experience & than start to feel overwhelmed when we have so much! Lol 😘 I think this is gonna be a fun dolly winter as we all make changes. I find it just as enjoyable to see others bringing new babies home as bringing one home myself! I wish I could get down to one baby, but I don't think I'm that kind of collector! Lol 😘
@@rebornlivingdolls wow! I didn’t realize you have reduced your collection by so much Shara.. it must’ve been difficult to let some of them beauties go 🥰
@@rebornlivingdolls yes, I can understand that for sure. I had only six at the most at one time and I don’t have nursery or space for my dolls so they’re in the room with me and my husband and my husband didn’t appreciate my open eyed babies looking at him while he sleeps 😂
Sweet video. I think we all have times when we change our collection, downsize, or life happens and we go in a different direction. It certainly happened to me over the past several years, and I've really downsized my doll collection. As much as I want so many, realistically that's not going to happen. I find reselling reborns slow right now, and I'm losing thousands of dollars selling them so low. More collectors seem to want silicone, and when someone is asking $6,000 for a vinyl, I think that's way too much, for me anyway. No matter how much I love the doll, I won't pay $6,000 for a vinyl.
well it will be allways your own decision , but I think you shoùld really hold on to Athena , i`m afraid you would regret it .Unfortunately I cannot give you a tip about how or who.For it seems allways impossible.The only consolation is when it goes to someone sweet who is really glad with it.Only my experience maybe.Strength to yoù and others here.
I love my silicones ❤… wishing for a Strydom… I started with vinyls just to test the waters-but for the realism and the price -silicones seem to be a better decision, -the price of Prototype or SOLE vinyls are equivalent to silicones these days … I hope you keep your “faves” ,~~gosh if you are bonded with Athena perhaps you should keep her -it sucks having to find the same sculpts when you love the sculpt so much. I do try not to have attachments to “inanimate” things or even people b-u-t it is easier said than done… Especially in doing business-there is a certain mindset to have.
