Here we go, the boxes at the top of the wardrobe!
I did an intial pass over them but if I don't sell enough stuff I may do another more in depth purge. I'd rather not have to though, i'm running low on stuff i'm okay with parting with.

The PURGE - Part 1
Here we go! The purge begins!
This is the boxes at the bottom of my wardrobe, which were the ones I didn't need a chair to access.
Prepare yourself for a lot of uncropped pictures because i'm in a hurry and don't wanna edit pics.

It's time for another purge.
Some readers may wonder, "How does she afford all these dolls?" right?
Well the truth is, often I can't. I pass on a lot of things because I simply cannot afford it.
The budget is tight. I get £75 a month to spend on frivolous junk, which generally in my case means dolls dolls and more dolls. This used to go a long way, but these days it really doesn't go far at all.
Playline prices are absolutely sky high with fashion dolls coming it at around £20 or more for anything even vuagely interesting and I just cannot justify it.
Meanwhile the dolls I like to buy right now, things like bjds and high end collectable dolls are well over £100 EACH. So that means if I want a bjd or something of a similar price I have to save like heck and find money in other places.
Now, often I get money from inlaws and relatives for my birthday and christmas which will get me one or two dolls depending on deals or offers etc, but outside of those times I have to scrape together what I can by selling stuff I already have.
I trawl charity shops for vintage and collectable items, not just for myself but also to sell. Sometimes I find something I desperately wanted or fall in love with, other times I find something I KNOW is worth something to the right people and just needs the right audience.
But i'm not an expert at all dolls and often I do pass on stuff and later realise it was gold (like disney dolls, argh. I do NOT know much about disney dolls and i've missed several absolute treasures as a result)
While I might hit gold every so often though, the majority of the stuff I sell comes from my own collection. Stuff i've held onto for years that's all stacked in boxes in my closet because I don't have the display space.
Every so often I have to do a purge because a big expense comes up, there's something big I want and I cannot make the money the standard way (waiting a month) in time.
this is one such occassion.
