Mohair Reborn
The 5 points that influence the price of a Reborn Doll
Reborn dolls are expensive to buy and make. On top of these handmade one-offs. Even if They come from a kit each doll is hand painted and finished by a reborn artist.
The prices of the reborn dolls have increased as the art is seen as more collectible and some of the best artists can make larger profits from their dolls. But for most reborn doll artists the opportunity to be paid even a fraction of what the doll is worth is hard.
Here are the 5 main areas that money is spent in making and selling dolls reborn;
- The doll must be painted, glued, eyes and eyebrows attached needles, brushes, paint. A cloth body weight materials, poly fill for stuffing, belly boards and beating hearts. There are electric costs associated with painting the doll as most pop are painted with heat paint and a dry kiln is needed between the layers. These costs come together around $ 200 – $ 300.
- The hair of a reborn is usually hand-rooted mohair which cost between $ 25 – $ 50 per ounce. The needles used are specialized felting needles at $ 10 – $ 15. There is much waste of the routing process so that the small amount of hair seen on a reborn doll's head is far from being completed in that amount sense to get.
- The clothes a reborn doll is sold at cost money. The amount of money depends on the quality of the outfit. There are many reborn artists leave their in handmade outfits that would easily sell for $ 100 by itself. Dolls are also sold with pacifiers to be complied with magnets inside the doll. Baby blankets and quilts.
- The marketing of a reborn doll is costly as the one on auction site. The auction site takes a cut, the money handler takes a cut and all other services in trade bring receives payments. There are costs involved in sending the doll to her new owner. Reborn dolls have to be transported in safe roads and even if the buyer regarding the cost of chartering is still the need for a safe box and packing.
- The time that a reborn artist usually spends on a doll is approximately 40 hours. That's a whole week on a doll. A reborn doll artist if they charge for their time minimum wage would only earn the same as a child in McDonalds. The phrase 'Struggling artist' suddenly has a whole new meaning when it is spelled in terms of what a work of art as a reborn doll actually costs to make. Most reborn dolls are lucky to sell for over $ 500 on sites like eBay. This means that the reborn artist is not paid for their time and expertise.
Next time the price of your reborn doll do it with a full redown the cost of the doll and why the price is set at a certain amount. And if you are the buyer or collector of reborn dolls remember you get what you pay and the low cost dolls are not manufactured by reborn artists with faith in itself to demand a decent amount for their dolls. You always get what you pay for.
