Yes you're right.... I'm an artist too, I think it's just people are having a hard enough time affording the necessities lately. And our dolls are a luxury item❤❤❤
I know I have , I can’t afford anything as hour dollar is so low , I cant afford it or make up the $ I will loose it just cost to much to make good quality dolls . I will never get back
Very true, it's unfortunate on all accounts. But it's exactly why I do always warn new artist not to rely on reborning for their sole income (if they can).
That is definitely the reason! I'm so grateful I was even able to find this community and get some amazing deals on Ebay just before the price of living got even higher.. its so sad to see how many beautiful dolls are just getting relisted and they are waaay out of my price range. Hopefully things pick up around the holidays for people gifting others, fingers crossed❤
Casual racism is insane in the reborn community. I'd never previously heard of Bonnie Seiben , but I'm not surprised. I've been in and out of the community since I was a preteen, and I've always noted a large majority of conservative women. Happy to see the community expanding now, I've seen many people closer to my age involved these days, and with them I have faith acceptable behaviour within the doll community will change. Looking forward to your next upload ! Goodluck with school.
I am appalled by you saying those of us who can not afford "real" reborn dolls and buy ours from amazon are not real collectors. I bought my baby from amazon after saving up for a year to get him. Keep in mind not everyone is able to work due to a physical disability and live on a fixed income which is BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. You've lost a subscriber.
You aren't a real collector and I don't care if I lost you...I don't want anyone who supports knockoffs anywhere near my channel. You are not entitled to these dolls but the sculptors who CREATE the real kits are entitled to the profits from their hard work!
@@KellyOuburg What are you even talking about. You know nothing about how this works, CLEARLY. I make money because I paint layer by layer and add hair strand by strand. That's literally why the reborn kits come blank. Do some research maybe?
Does MacPhearsons know that about onlyreborns because I get an advertisement in my box with my orders just about every time I order. I think dolls by sandie sends them also
Good morning! Been wondering where ya been! Happy to see you back! Great conversation! I'm a new artist! I have been trying to sell 2 dolls for months! I think because nobody knows me. ! ☺️
I may not have a lot a money but when I do I will purchase one of your dolls hopefully I can save up by then end of the month cause I really like the Mary twins
in the back of my mind, i’d HOPE people (artists and collectors) including these companies are ignorant to the controversies in this community, but like…WE know a lot (if not the majority, imo) don’t care and don’t want to “get into drama,” which is a ridiculous and cowardly excuse. that stuff she said was blatantly RACIST. period point blank! 💆🏽♀️😵💫 this is why i appreciate you so much you always speak on the REAL issues that are going on in our world and in the reborn community. i’m glad you’re back!! 🎉❤️🫶🏽
Yes, that's exactly it! Every time I point out stuff, it's "drama" to them...when in reality I just say things that are not so fun to pay attention to. Can you imagine if people back in the 1950's just continued to ignore segregation!
@@UniRebornDad speak on ittt! 👏🏾❤️it shows the privilege they have to think it’s “just drama” when we’re faced with racism every day of our lives, even in a DOLL COMMUNITY 😵💫 we don’t have the luxury to stick our heads in the sand and ignore it. this is all very frustrating 💆🏽♀️
Omg I feel sooo bad I have 1 Bonnie sieben doll up for sale but I had no idea about the issues (I'm a new artist, just started reborning in the summer) :( I only got the kit because it was on sale!! For here on out at least I know now not to get her kits, yikes!!!
@@UniRebornDad thats true!! at least I know now!!! btw I love your work! I will have to order an AA doll from you next year! I dont have any yet but Im also getting a silicone in jan so cant buy anymore babes for a while! Unless of course sales pick up again ugh!

@@UniRebornDad ABSOLUTELY.... You kind of have to treat it as a hobby that sometimes pays 😜 😁

You’ve been missed ❤ Sorry you’re having such a rough time with selling at the moment because your dolls are beautiful ❤❤
I'm a newbie who bought a silicone doll that's a knockoff. I'm 69 & happened to find a preemie who's so real looking. It's beautiful.

Thank you! Yes, it is hit or miss, I have been lucky enough to find quite a few groups that are more open and understanding though :)

The Amazon dolls are knock offs. The community doesn't accept people that proudly support fakes.

I'm appalled by people like you who listen to everyone explain why the knockoffs are a problem but feel like they still don't care.
@@UniRebornDad And here you are making money off someone else's sculpts.

yess you’re back! i’ve been watching all your old videos 😭❤️
#dontbuyhere this dude bashes sculptors and #rebornartist
Good morning! Been wondering where ya been! Happy to see you back! Great conversation! I'm a new artist! I have been trying to sell 2 dolls for months! I think because nobody knows me. ! ☺️
It's very difficult when starting out, hope things pick up soon!

The reborns that I have been selling have only been customs and to repeat customers. The ones I have made to sell are not selling either.
Glad to see you again
