Why we BUY!

whatever

Though only a year old this month since joining you in the Doll community online I started by selling my entire NRFB Barbie collection to try out the 16 inch girls my hope was to afford just ONE Sybarite.  Then I had hoped in my researching online and doll boards what line to concentrate on.  Deva, Avante Guards, Dollfie, Jamieshow, Tonner etc. It was overwhelming. Plus I was so excited to finally end last year following a fluke mess-up on my part the year prior to join the Integrity W Club. So I won’t lie when I learned the AG were absent this year and had no idea what direction to go.

  I had always coveted or dreamed of owning a Sybarite flipping thru the pages of Haute Doll years prior.  So my goal was to own just one plus on a fixed income it was not possible to just buy a new Sybarite or FBR as they were offered.  So this time last year SAGE was up on Ebay in my price range and my hope was to own a Sybarite by my birthday on Halloween. The Seller OKCJimbo you may know of him as we became fast friends and having never seen or held an actual sybarite.  It was fate when Jim put Sage up on Ebay and come to find out he lived just 15 minutes away.
  Try to imagine in your lifetime be it a toy, car, vacation etc. you always dreamed of and thinking it would never come to fruition and you settle on “maybe someday”.  In my case it was images torn from magazines in my craft room next to Madonna and Lady GaGa images.
(btw I am a gay Middle aged Madonna Wannabe Superdoll Monster man. LOL)
  Going to Jim’s home and walking back to a ROOM an ENTIRE ROOM for his collection of Sybarites was an out of body experience.  All beautifully dressed and styled to perfection in dark custom made display cabinets lit with LED lights.  A solid piece of glass covering the fronts with the option of having 3 glass shelves for 12 inch or 1 glass shelf for two 16 inch dolls etc.
  If I recall at the time he had 19? with Inque and Sage up for sale on Ebay. As if it were just yesterday remember my fear asking him to hold this doll from which I had coveted for years  It was Inque with whom I held first. The weight, the details, the joints, basically The DOLL was a revelation.  Now it is unfair for me to speak only of the Sybarites for this was my dream to own and I am obviously being bias, but having no experience with conventions, custom doll shops, or any doll taller than 12 and bought at Toys R US I hope you reading this can understand where I am coming from.
The last thing I want to start is a “my doll is better than your doll debate” as this story is coming from a sincere place and writing it or feeling the need to share it with you was inspired by
