I have a few dolls that I made 2-3 years ago and that never sold. I have tried everything, changing clothes, different light, different decor setting, different prices.
What’s the best option ? Sell them at cost price? Sell them unassembled ? Gift them ? Strip and redo ?
If you don’t mind to sell your dolls for low prices, I would recommend this group.
I see people are going nuts for low priced dolls when raffle tickets are $5-$10.
I learned quickly that spot for $25 doesn’t feels out fast ot might not fill out at all (like in the second link where I listed my Ava). I just don’t want to pay Reborns membership when I have just 2 high priced babies to sell.
Stripping would be my last resort. They are airdry, make long ago, that would be a nightmare
I don’t really have nursing home near, and I am not sure how it works. With the virus, it could be difficult. I will try to contact a few of them when the situation get better, it could be a great solution.
Raffles are not legal here, I would prefer not take the risk. I have already done a giveaway on my channel, I may do another tho.
I have had a few that for some reason just didn’t sell over the years, or I held them back because I wasn’t happy with them. I donate them if they are just not up to standards, they are still nice dolls but…
I have also gifted them. I think we all know people who say, “I could never afford one but if you ever make one that is a reject I would love to have it”
I will only do that with someone I know. I never want that baby showing up on social media as an example of my work. I need to trust the person I gift it to.
Mine always sell eventually. Some do take years. Lol.
I had one toddler sit unsold for nearly 4 years when she suddenly sold for over a thousand to a TV studio. Lol. I was going to turn her into an alternative when she sold.
