It does seem like a lot of money but if you've ever bought or priced a hand made doll like a Raggedy Ann or watched what into making one you would begin to understand. When I was a kid my mom and grandmom has this brilliant idea that they would make money by making Raggedy Ann style dolls. The first one took a few weeks while they learned how. The next 3-5 were made together and they were able to shorten down the time to a few days. Over time they realized the labor was just too much for what they would have to charge for the dolls. When you've spent enough hours that selling the doll for 50-75$ nets you 3 dollars an hour it's not really worth it.

No doubt with practice you can cut the time down on hand made objects but the labor involved is what you are paying for. This isn't some assembly line item made in a sweat shop in China by 7 year olds.

Still they are too rich for me. Besides I still hold a grudge against Billy for the monsterously long camps for him in the Nektropos Castle.

Thank you to those who engage their brain before posting and appreciate the value of time.

I have already posted how long it takes to make one doll, and the materials cost a lot more than £5. IF im going to produce something like this, then its going to be done well and of quality.

If you dont like the price, dont buy one. The numbers are getting very low due to the limited edition anyway.

If youd work for say 10p an hour and are a good seamstress, give me a shout lol!.. oh hang on, someone mentioned profit... ok say 5p an hour.

I dont do this for profit (which is just as well as there isnt any). I do it because i love Billy and think its great that other people do too.

realize that your not paying all that "extra" for nothing ....what you are buying is her knowledge and skill in making one of these. a skill of which you or i do not possess or else maybe you would have done what she is doing.

when you call a eletritican into your house your doing the same thing .....not paying for the high hat ...but paying for the knowledge and skill to install it properly

Cool doll!

See, get some third world sweat shop to build these for pennies, THEN sell them for the full amount..

Oh wait.. Most major manufacturers do this already.. Sheesh..

Moriane
