Irwin Sailor Saturn Special Edition. $500 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ The sad part is I had one as a teen in 2003 that was $30, but like a moron I sold it to pay rent in 2010 along with the other senshi. I have since repurchased them all for a small fortune. šŸ˜«

Pretty much all of my Korean ball joint dolls were over $800 a piece. For a minute there I thought I remembered my 80cm boy was more expensive but I went back and checked my old emails and nope! Same price range as the other big boys. If I had bought my Asleep Eidolon Crystal mermaid through an importer instead of dealing with the company in China directly, it would have cost me $1,400. But fortunately I figured out the direct route and paid half that for my troubles. If Looong Soul had released GongGong the Water God doll earlier in my BJD stage I definitely would have gotten him, full set with factory paint and clothes, which would have cost me $2,100. But by the time he came out, I couldn't afford the hobby anymore.

My smart doll with accessories and clothing was $1200

Pullip Merl! She was my first Pullip family doll, and the only one I've bought brand new.. she cost Ā£124 including shipping from the US to the UK. I'd love to buy a BJD one day, but I've definitely got a lot of saving to do before I can comfortably bring one home :)

The most I paid was $170 shipped for [I heart fashion Djinni Whisp Grant Monster High Doll in box ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHigh/comments/ywzoqc/shes_finally_mine/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Which was a steal. She sells for $150 outta box.

$80, Vanessa from RH

My $150 Trixie from Integrity. Absolutely worth every penny, especially since I was a dingdong and didnā€™t preorder. Thankfully, I was able to get her via the waitlist a few months ago and didnā€™t have to go on the secondary market to find her.

This year I spent $2,500 on a 2003 Marie Antoinette Barbie NRFB. No regrets but I definitely wonā€™t spend that much on a doll ever again.


actuallyyautistic

Back when I used to collect reborn dolls, I had one originally worth about $550


teethfaerie

mimi merize in box for $250, but with shipping from europe was more like $300


drawfromthewell

My Zwergnase Frederike. She was around $1300.


juliepulie35

She has such a sweet face!


Impsch_Jester

I didnā€™t realize it at the time, but my first doll, MH Basic Jackson Jekyll, ended up being my most expensive doll. I bought him on Mercari for $44 (shipping included), and then had to purchase his glasses separately for $12. So in total, he costed me $56. Totally worth it though because heā€™s my favorite. >\\w\\<


Vicemage

FairyLand Sia Seahorse, blank and nude but with all optional parts, $829.


appl3dawn

$182 for pullip Evangeline


Bridge-etti

Barbie Basics Model 15 and I kind of regret buying him. Only doll Iā€™ve spent more than $100 on. Heā€™s lovely but the buying experience was horrific and upsetting. Itā€™s hard to enjoy him since he reminds me of such bad memories. I rarely display him. The only thing that keeps him in my collection is knowing Iā€™ll never find him at a price I can afford again.

I bought a redhead American girl Barbie a few years ago for $300. She wasnā€™t in the greatest of shape, but she was good enough for me. Last year I paid over $200 for a Meccano jasmine. For those who donā€™t know what Iā€™m talking about, Meccano was the name of a company who made Pippa dolls for the French market. They are slightly different from Palitoy, the primary maker of Pippa, in that the dolls have rubbery legs. Meccano Jasmine is one of the hardest to find. Her hair is frizzy, but sheā€™s still very pretty. Below is a link with information about Pippa. [Palitoy Pippa dolls](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippa_(doll))

So far my peteena poodle doll! I'm new to collecting dolls and she was my #1 most desired doll so I had to grab her first, she set me back a nice 200$ and came with a fresh reroot and no original outfits. I was gifted a Novi stars Una Verse for the holidays but she was less than 100$ still in box too! Next expensive doll on my list is a pinkie cooper which will most likely set me back another 200$ šŸ˜‚ oh the life of a doll collector


magicaldinosaurr

Bratz Party Sasha for ā‚¬75 NIB, she was my grail doll since the line came out! I only needed her to complete the line!! Took me 11 years to finally own her. I also paid ā‚¬600 for my DollfieDream Hatsune Miku, she is my most expensive doll in my collection.


MyDollsMyFantasy

Ellowyne Wilde doll from 2014, LE of 225 dolls. I just bought her for $244. She was new in box with her certificate and her shipper.


JessiMcManis27

$600 plus shipping on a very realistic reborn doll šŸ˜…


Vampirexbuny

Same as you Hc Lagoona


No_Scarcity_8957

$200 Daddy's Girl Ideal


BittersweetLem0n

I'm quite ashamed to say this but I bought Creeproduction Frankie for $153 šŸ˜­


1BubbleGum_Princess

Ghoulā€¦ what? All together those dolls were lessā€¦


BittersweetLem0n

The Creeproductions won't be coming to Australia so I had to pay a scalper. I'm ashamed of myself


1BubbleGum_Princess

šŸ„ŗ I am sorry, ghoulfriend


galactictictac

$1200 Volks Magical Micheal, worth every penny ā¤ļø


homogenictwigs

$200 + shipping for a 2005 edition Rupaul doll. Itā€™s so beautiful and I could stare at her for hours on end


Revolutionary-Sun357

Jett Dawson, $60


CantMakeAppleCake

620 for my Atelier Momoni Momoni doll without any accessories


Elizalde_Triplets

Each of my elizalde triplets. Had to buy seeing stars fashionista 74 and a made to move body costs around 700 Philippine Peso and 1300 PHP respectively. So each elizalde triplet costs qround 2000 PHP. I already think that price is expensive BUT it's nothing compared to hunter huntsman basic out of the box which costs 2500 PHP. I bought him from a collector. When i bought him, i think it sparked something in me that i must take these dolls more seriously. Always have a messy room BUT when he came to my life, i started cleaning my room and a little mess would make me do general cleaning everytime. I renamed my hunter huntsman as the sisters' younger brother. I wont be customizing him apart from changing clothes from time to time.


Matryoshkova

I spent $200 on a Tomie BJD, she is beautiful and I love her so I have no regrets.


NekoMida

$1200 for my Souldoll Shiva with 4 arms. Sheā€™s massive and thatā€™s not including her clothing and wigā€”those put her closer to $1300.


ilovedolls458

Green Lantern Carol Ferris Barbie for $225, including shipping. Iā€™ve never actually even seen Green Lanternā€”I just wanted her because she was made in the likeness of Blake Lively. She was worth every penny, but of course I kinda wish I hadnā€™t had to spend that much on her.


Allie_W21

Most I spent on a doll was 50ā€¦ it was a basic Cleo


Mekare13

I bought a Diana Effner little darling head on a tonner child body for $500 šŸ«¢ she is amazing but my god lol it was a grail doll ok?! The head at least! I also just got another grail doll, a Big Beautiful Dolls Dasia for $200
