Talk about consumerism, criticize consumerism, talk about niche and fandom specific consumerism, talk about consoom tendencies, collections, hoards and addiction. If you are a consoomer yourself, feel free to talk about it in this thread, same with people who are now reformed consoomers. And if you did get over it, tell us why or how it happened.

She has spent "so much time and money" making a nendoroid of herself in pretty much the same setup her actual room is which she also has spent a lot of money too. I would find this idea kind of cute if there wasn't such consooming involved. There's nothing creative about this as her room is basically exactly the same. I hate sanrio characters(and whatever characters) have become some sort of personality trait.

>>1208548There really is no cheap housing anymore regardless of tempature conditions tbh. I lived in an area where you're practically required to blast heat in order to not freeze to death from September-May and you get like 3 nice months in summer and that's it. Rent was still tripling in record numbers just because everyone else from big cities had the same idea of "if you move to the place with shit tempatures, it will be cheap". Now you gotta deal with expensive everything, shit temp and a growing population in areas that weren't built to sustain that many people at once
Everyone blames "hippies coming in from Cali" but it's really not, it's rich people opening up bougie resorts and businesses and turning what would be a family town into a vacation tourist town

I’m a reformed consoomer and just moved to a new smaller apartment. So I had to throw some things that I bought as a teenager. As a young weeb teen I used to buy soooo many figures and cosplays whenever I went to Japan. I think I got fooled by the whole “it’s not hoarding, it’s collections of valuable anime items that can be sold for high value” because that’s just a complete lie. Now I’m sitting here with tons of wigs and figures and no buyers. Literally such a waste of money and space. And yeah figures like pic related that I have is cute but what’s it’s purpose? To be quickly glanced at. It’s useless. I’m so angry at my naive teenage self.

Big chains obviously factor theft into their business model. Employees probably know that you're stealing, you're not as clever as you think you are. Shoplifting is still consooming, probably the worst form of consooming, because you aren't limited by money it's hypothetically endless. For example
>>1215928 is absolutely a problem. You are not fighting capitalism, it is an addiction that is not worth bragging about and it almost always escalates until you're arrested. Please don't go to jail for shitty perfumes you don't need nor probably even actually want. If you really must hide things away in your pockets, how about going outside and seeing if there are cool rocks and stones to collect? You still get a rush when you find something good.

On the shoplifting topic, it's against most company policies in the US for employees to get involved with a known or suspected shoplifter. They would rather let the cameras at the doors or in the parking lot catch people and then fill out police reports. If you are stealing, make sure its little dumbass shit. If you're a repeat offender grabbing high value stuff you will get slapped with a felony. Sometimes they'll even let you knowingly steal more so you hit the minimum for felony charges.

Finding something rare that I've been looking for for years is awesome. Whenever I travel I have to go to the record stores.
Also on the topic of shoplifitng. They probably know you do it, they just keep collecting evidence on you. I worked retail in many stores and this is what we did. The only thing the employees can do is follow you and tell you off but one day you just won't be able to go in the store anymore and might get a huge fine or get arrested. It is not worth it. It is also very annoying to deal with as an employee and will probably reduce bonuses and salary raises (because obviously dumbdass employers think it's your fault if people steal).

>>1215928I had a shoplifting phase, and I'd recommend you'd stop or at least do it a lot less fequently and in different places. My 2 strikes were the day I went ham with my bf and we stole about 500 euros worth of small trinkets/jewellery in a day, then another time said bf stole from a small independent toy store when we'd always only taken from big chain stores, and I wanted to return the stolen items but it's harder said than done and even though I didn't do it, it really put the guilt in me. Plus there were times I stole because the opportunity was there or I couldn't be bothered waiting in the queue, which to me feels like the wrong reasons to steal. And it was starting to pile up. I started my just-for-fun shoplifting (after shoplifting essentials like tampons) by stealing one of pic related (I think the giraffe) then went on to collect dozens.
Now I'm older I don't think I would. It really is addictive and makes you feel resentful for actually buying anything, years later I still feel like a chump when I pay 25 euros for something I could easily hide under my phone then put both in my pocket.

Once I was hungry and stole those chocolate caramel turtles and regretted it because they were overly sweet, not sure why I didn't just take something savory instead. I actually went to work at the Target I stole a bunch of shit from kek. I worked at another retail store for a bit and they really had eagle eyes for shoplifters. Sometimes I'd listen to pocket whatever information they had in the back of my brain for future reference, but they never divulged any super useful information and I had stopped lifting for years at that point anyway. Whenever I go into a store I still look up to see where the cameras are.
> I still feel like a chump when I pay 25 euros for something I could easily hide under my phone then put both in my pocketThis really hits home kek. I never have the urge to lift anything anymore (thankfully). I'll just grumble about the price and put it back, or pay for it if it's a real necessity, but seriously! Sometimes I wish I could just lift again. Nothing is stopping me, but I just stopped wanting to do it after I got regular income.

Touching them is very unpleasant and I can't believe I didn't realize how bad it was sooner. I'm cleaning them thorougly and giving them away to my little nieces.

i realized my consoom urges came from 3 main false beliefs
>when i have this item i will be cool
i now tell myself, i am cool for not buying new things. i am cool for saving that money, for not being the hoarder i used to be.
>when i have that item, people will want to be my friend
the people who would only befriend me specifically for that item, would use me for that stuff, or for insincere social status signals, which i hate and probably will not need anyway.
>when i have that other item, i will be hot
there is no end goal of finally being permanently attractive, because hormones fluctuate which makes me look bloated, then pretty, then haggard every month or so. even if i got surgeries and fillers to reduce the hormonal changes' visible effects, i will become a wrinkly old woman eventually. so i should focus on being confident instead.

>>1214881I have an itabag that I've poured a minimum of $300 into and I don't want to get rid of it because I still really love the character. $300 is nothing in the world of itabags but I can't believe I've spend that much on all the shit in this bag kek. It's been built up over the course of like 6 years though. I don't like itabags with nothing but one specific button, I think they're so ugly. I like to go to secondhand shops when I'm in Japan and pour over items and then slowly whittle it down to what I really want, it's like a scavenger hunt.
I will probably keep consooming merch of this character but I've become very selective with what I buy since I have limited space. If it's a rare piece of merch what little sensibilities I have left are thrown out the window and I immediately want it because I'm stupid and rare/limited items just make me freak.
I spent $80 on two film strips with him in it fuck me kekI have a second itabag that I made on a whim with shit I bought off AE. Not as much keychains and I just have it cos it's one of those cute bookbags with a heart window. I might get rid of the keychains but keep the bag since bookbags are better for my back. My main itabag is a tote bag so I seldom use it outside of cons partly because I'm embarrassed and partly because I try not to use totes anyway.

I love visiting Japan but yes it's a huuuuge consoomerism hell hole. I think most times it's not even buying stuff from stores, it's the game centers in particular are my weakness. I will even admit that I really started to have a problem/addiction to them when I was a student, plus I was at the height of my mental illness at the time two so it was a double whammy combo. Wasted way too much of my scholarship money playing ufo catchers.

Then I'd buy more in the same colour hoping for a nicer consistency and keep all the shitty ones 'just in case'. Gel quality is pretty uniform so I don't have to keep trying different types, and it's too expensive for me to buy regularly.

They are more like the planner hobby which is entirely about decorating and not actually planning much kek. Must be a hobby like decoden or blinging, consooming and piling up "pretty" things.
Meanwhile shit like owning band shirts of things you don't listen to or anime figures and posters of things you haven't even watched because the character is pretty or popular weirds me out, it's the autist in me.

These threads really peaked me in my consoomerism habits, thanks so much for them. I was never as bad as some of these posted here but I did (and do) have a problem with hording things I never use because I still hold onto the idea that I
could use them one day, but never do. It sucks knowing you spent money on something but it's worse to keep it around if it will never be used. I'm also learning to let go of possessions I've had for a long time during some of my phases I'm over now, it was nice to have merch of some things I liked in the past but I've outgrown a lot of it and it's unnessicary to hold onto that stuff. I can let myself be happy I was into it for a while and move on. I always carry the thought of 'If I moved again, how much of this do I want to take with me?' and that also helps me keep the clutter down.
>>1242805This pisses me off so much because this is actually from Goodwill's auction site. It's basically Goodwill's version of eBay and anything good or 'valuable' goes here first so nothing cool ever gets sent to the store. They want people to bid on stuff like this to make the biggest profits possible even though everything they get in is free (for them) I really hate how thirfting has become a trend and brought up the prices of everything donated when you used to be able to find neat gems or be able to upcycle for cheap. Now it's almost the same price to buy brand new shirts than it is to shift through a thrift store and find an old one.

do enjoy, I think if you have a series you read often or always come back to those are okay to keep.

>>1258085tbh all rooms of any popular zoomer aesthetic are scarily similar, it's bizarre how consistently certain elements appear in so many girls rooms. I've spent some time on pinterest lately (I never used to so maybe I'm out of the loop), I like the korean sorta style but it's like… every single room has a tablet on a little easel with anime wallpaper, keyboards with round keys, flower cushions, clear plastic folding chairs, pastel checkered rugs, it's cute but are these mfs all shopping at the exact same place? Is it all from amazon?
No. 1258307
>>1258255The similarities stems from all of them getting their items majority from aliexpress or dropshipping services that source from ali. Just like when jfashion was blowing up on tumblr, they all have carrds with affiliate links to these kaweewee dropshipping sites that all sell the same bullshit with minor variations wether its for the neon gamur grill, sanriohag dreamcore weeb (as a sanriohag myself, gomen) , kfag light academic weeb and so on.
Teens and adults alike can now adopt an aesthetic for below half the price it would have cost them before and minimal to no real dedication or time is needed to do that. So people see all these aesthetic videos, find the links easy and spend like less than 100$ to, for example, get that kfag aesthetic, stuff like reduced accessibility to consoom shit can positively impact a persons sense of self cause they have to
improvise and thereby challenge what they really like about the aesthetic and are prompted to be more selective about what they purchase to fulfill said aesthetic.

My nearest primark is heavily taken up by disney pjs, disney purses, disney hairbrushes, disney homeware, then there's looney tunes, friends (the show) care bears, marvel. It takes up alot of the store and somewhat cancels out what was always the main appeal of primark.. the really low pricepoint. So much stuff is licensed and marked up to reflect it the licensing cost and it's also just.. a but much to look at. It makes the store seem like it's aimed at younger and younger people. The whole place is starting to look like one big kids section.
Like can I buy a hairbrush that doesn't have mickey mouse ears on it? Can I find a cheap lil purse that isn't also mickey mouse themed? Why does everything need a cartoon character on it in an adults section? A few years ago primark was swamped with Harry Potter shit and that's pretty much all gone now lol.

if you watch star wars now as an adult it's not good but i don't think the original movies were completely aimed at little boys as chunks of the empire strikes back (poster and dialogue) are lifted straight out of gone with the wind, plus the whole incest thing. the first original one is pretty generic and kiddyish though

Let me say it's a lot of fun and way more rewarding that just buy but imo you can 100% still comsoom even if you go DIY. That is why the knitting community has terms like SABLE and so on. Even if is miles better than just buy and with enough dedication it can even be better than oficial merch, it's not a bulletproof anti-consoom alternative and if you aren't carefull enough you will end up full of plastic, fabrics and a millon of

I made a spreadsheet to track the amount of my consoom collection I’ve sold online, and it’s almost up to $4500. Even though I probably didn’t get 20-30% of that money because of selling fees, some stuff like games and manga go for way more than what I originally paid for them.

I lost my luggage about 1.5 months ago after being abroad for 2 months. My insurance has paid me some money to compensate me for replacements but since I got home I've had no desire to buy anything. I was already really fussy about clothes and spending money but even still I will only ever buy something if I love it and it's cheap. The main thing I'm upset about is losing gifts from another continent that my family are likely to never visit.

>>1285549>>1285567Thank you guys for the replies. It's been inconvenient going to grab a a pair of shoes or something only to realise I don't have it but luckily it was nothing too severe. Another woman on my flight lost her luggage and we kept in contact, they returned it to her and everything had been stolen. Someone at the airport had replaced it with cases of water. The airline or insurance won't do piss all to compensate her and she had gifts from living abroad for 6 months. I think I'll definitely take your advice and keep a few pairs of clothes on my person at all times.
It's a lesson learned on my end. Makes you realise how easily you can be stripped of possessions. It's not the end of the world, but it just sucks knowing I've lost gifts that I can't go back and replace.

Nonnas, how do I know if a person on Ebay is not a scammer?
I want to get a birthday gift which would be a limited edition of an old, niche visual novel, I surprisingly found some sellers that do sell it nearby, which made me think 'its too good to be true'. Also I thought of getting an artbook because I love and admire the artist. The seller ratings seem good, but I am still worried of throwing the money into thin air. Would it be stupid to ask the sellers for more proofs that they own the x-thing?
No. 1288375
>>1286512If you're unsure about getting it from eBay you could always use a proxy and buy it from Japan. Sites like Mandarake, Suruga-ya, JP Mercari, or Yahoo Auctions may carry it.
I've stopped buying on eBay ever since I found I could always get it for cheaper when using a proxy. The pricing on these sites are always significantly lower than when they're listed on English websites.
For example: $180 vs ¥3,000 (About $22)

I do like the asian style room trends because they fill a niche for people with lower budgets though. Interior design inspo is often like, expensive mansions with extravagant luxury furniture and it looks beautiful but you could never afford it or imitate it, and they look barely used. Whereas with korean rooms they're usually studio apartments with cheap but cute and comfy furniture and decor. It's way more accessible and relatable, and it looks properly lived in. I just wish they wouldn't all use the literal exact same items lmao.

>>1319481Thanks for ideas, nona! I actually prefer to avoid swatching for now since some of my paints ended up being mostly used for it already and i did mixing charts before. I now sketch more on copy paper or in digital, it feels good right now.
Though it's hard and I'm really tempted. 50ml jars of gouache i got are not portable if i wish to go outside and paint and would love tubes, but i don't think i'll ever do this anyway. Will wait more but probably will toss some colors that I can't mix but need (no bright pink or blue) and I ran out of few colors I had for few years already.
I'm proud i didn't get any other yarn for almost a year now, though i want to get one or two skeins (100g of yarn) of some quality woolen or cotton yarns to swatch them and see if i like them. buy only when i will have properly planned project. really want to make own sweaters to replace my old fast fashion ones that are in really bad state. i have problem with clothes and second hand stores in my city are shit, vintage resale sites are too expensive sometimes so i want to make something myself that will last me long time, will look timeless and nice in more muted colors.

They basically, despite most of them being spicy straight, collect erotic figures/posters/etc to emulate the rooms of otaku in the early 2000s but with pink kawiwiwi shit added
They also like a lot of the same characters and have a big issue with just copy pasting every single thing that's popular in the "animecore" community, leaving all their rooms to look the same. Most I've noticed admittedly dont even like anime or are very casual fans and "just like the aesthetic"

I hate t-shirt culture. Where did the need to own piles of graphic t-shirts come from? I worked with a guy who was on sites like this daily, and wore products like theirs daily. They're selling designs based on licensed IPs with limited runs to create FOMO and to not get caught and taken down. They seem to be latching onto anything they can right now, most designs are a random mashup of 2 pop culture references.
Around the net, any time you see a cool bit of artwork there are tonnes of comments asking to buy in on a shirt. Reddit is filled with t-shirt bots, anything you upload online can be listed for sale, on a t-shirt, within minutes. It seems so scummy and wasteful.
No. 1324336
>>1324194Me too. I feel like I have too many fucking tshirts. I've gotten out of the habit of buying them now, because I have so many that I can't even use the "oh I'll just buy this concert/con shirt and use it as a pajama shirt!" because I have too many pajama shirts! Sometimes I do want to get a concert or con tee because I enjoyed the event and I like having a shirt to look at and wear that reminds me of that time, but I also know that I don't necessarily need a shirt to do that for me.
I used to work at a major clothing store and at my particular store our dress code was black, but during special promotion periods where we had collabs with major IPs, we would be allowed to wear shirts from that collection for as long as we sold the shirt and still had it in stock. I accumulated so many stupid fucking t-shirts during this time period, shirts that I rarely wore after the promotional period to sell them was over! When I went out with friends, I wanted to wear all my cute and colorful clothing so I never touched the shirts or wore my black clothes that I wore regularly for work. Sometimes that store tempts me because they have collabs I'm interested in, but then I remember my hatred for graphic tees and I don't do it. If it's a shirt with an embroidered design (rare but sometimes they sell it) I'll consider it, but in the end… I just have too many fucking tshirts.

I know that at the end of the day people know their own sensory issues better than i do and they are allowed to decorate their own rooms the way they want, but i cant help thinking that these people are purposely creating living spaces that they hate just for internet clout.
Sorry for blogposting but speaking from personal experience i used to have a kawaii pink room because im autistic and i saw other autistic girls have rooms like that on social media. It never gave me sensory overload but it did make me feel overwhelmed having a bunch of useless knick knack laying around, not to mention that your room quickly becomes messy when you have so much stuff which only worsens the sensory issues…
People are allowed to do what they want and i know I'm projecting my own issues on to internet strangers but i seriously think that we need to have a discussion about how stressful these type of living spaces can be instead of treating it like some sort of ideal/goal.

Anon what are your clothes shopping habits like? How often do you buy clothes? How long do you wear them?
Myself, I only buy cotton/wool/linen, I own no polyester or viscose. I normally buy a couple clothing pieces per year, about 2-4 (not including underwear, those are replaced when worn out). I shop 2nd hand on occasion, but rarely find suitable items. I own some fast fashion items, but they are 5+ years old at this point. I extend the lifetime of my wardrobe by wearing plain cotton shirts and leggings at home, and only wearing my nicer clothes out.

ngl realizing rich people wear zara, h&m, bershka and other fast fashion brands except they buy dozens of pieces a year truly black pilled me. they have the money to buy gorgeous, less polluting pieces but they desperately need to have new outfits every fornight.

One of my greatest pet peeves is when a character or franchise is slathered all over the packaging but has absolutely nothing to do with the product, especially if the packaging isn't at least creative.
This user buys a lot of Sailor Moon themed items with very bland designs at marked up prices. I remember a post of Sailor Moon themed cookies exclusively from universal studios Japan, she admitted were plain. They had sailor scouts on the box and each was individually wrapped in sailor printed packages. The amount of waste.
These masks are so bland and I bet they were probably $14 for a pack of 3 disposables, as much as a large box.
She also has a $180 music box which is just those junky $20 mall kiosk ones, but blue and vaguely SM branded. Pre ordered from Korea. I thought it was AliExpress at first.

>>1330811I had a goal in 2020 to not buy a single article of clothing for myself- and I did it! It was an amazing feeling to accomplish and really forced me to wear my nicer clothes. I have an awful habit of buying very nice, pretty clothes, but I put off wearing them because "it's not a nice enough day" or I feel like with every wear, it gets closer and closer to the end of its lifetime (whether it's F21 tier or higher end and made with natural fabrics) and all I can think about is the inevitable day it is unwearable and I have to get rid of it (because I'm retarded like that kek).
I do buy clothes now. I was aiming to buy only natural fabrics but now I buy whatever. I buy clothing very sporadically, but honestly, waaaay less than I used to. I feel like not clothing shopping for a year really put things into perspective for me. Yes those clothes are cute, but I can live without it. Yes that shirt is an absolute
steal but I don't need it or really like it all that much, so I can resist.
I did just buy a lot of clothes that were on sale, but I'm pretty much set for the next couple of months. I think I buy clothes 4-5 times a year now, and that can range from a single item to a handful. The huge amount of clothes I just bought were a very rare exception, never bought so much at once even in my consoomerism days kek. I also think I do really well with wearing the absolute shit out of my clothes. For all the hell I give myself about wanting to avoid wearing my nice clothes for fear of the day they'll be unwearable from so much wear and tear, I've been wearing some shit for 5+ years and it still looks fine. I think I take good care of my clothes. I don't really have to mend them, but I am able to do so if needed.

>>1333716I'm doing the same. I'm only 2 months in but it's easier than I expected. It's nice claiming back the time and money I would have wasted on clothes I don't need. I think living in a place that isn't very trendy helps as no one cares if I dress cheugy here.
My wardrobe is already 100% natural fabrics because I'm a sweaty sperg and have always hated synthetics. I think the change I wanted to make though is to reduce the amount of hand wash things I have as they always pile up and then I never want to do it as it takes ages. Even using the most gentle washing machine settings ruins my wool things.
>fear of the day they'll be unwearable from so much wear and tearI tend to get pretty attached to my clothes as well but I've realised that if you're good at ebay searching, you can always find another one.

If they had that sort of rubber seal like some candle jars do they would be alright to use, but I don't expect them to have it. Also the english are on edge since the royal kicking of the bucket, careful poking fun at them or they will pile you with their not-all-isms, kek.
>>1336673Tiktok marketing has got such a strong grasp on people, it's kinda sad how much waste it's generating.

>>1335460Samefag as above but forgot to add, is it tiktok at it again? I follow some thrifting subreddits and similar, and been seeing people post their purchases of these containers a lot in the past few months.

>>1334782>>1333280ty for your responses. didn't want to go for a bicycle because there is one semi-large hill i have to go up during my commute. plus its just annoying to bring on the metro/bus.
i ended up finding a e-scooter that weighs around 22 lbs which i should be able to manage. it's actually marketed as a "teen scooter" so it was kind of cheap comparatively. i also wont be going on super far distances so i think it'll work for my needs.
i'm guessing the technology is just not good enough yet to have a super lightweight scooter with power/speed/battery life yet unfortunately. and the market is definitely catered to men atm. so annoying.

Still don't get how people can like these so much to get entire collections of them. But maybe they say the same about anime figures kek

I swear hoarding must rot your brain or something. During the pandemic I started flipping some limited edition drinks and beverages (yes, it was weird. But, money is money and I was broke. For the amount of work I had to put in, the profit wasn't too bad, frankly). You would think that the type of people to spend 5$-20$ on a just a single fucking beverage would be the type of person that has lots of money, but, no, you'd be shocked to learn how much trailer park trash I did business with. Literally had multiple customers that only had enough money to pay rent and feed themselves and their children the most shit quality cheap food because they would literally blow 500$ with me twice a month. Yeah, I had some guilt about it, but the thing is, these same people would blow hundreds to thousands of bucks with me on these drinks, and then after 6 months immediately move onto their next obsession, spending the same amount of money, but just on a different product. I eventually stopped feeling bad about it because these people are truly addicted to spending money, they couldn't care less what it's being spent on. The bubble for that flipping business popped, so I just took my profits and ran and found a real job, thankfully.

I see people hoarding those too. (Pic related is literally a whole collection of gfuel powder to make gamer themed energy drinks)

One of the most ridiculous type of consoomers for me are hypebeasts. First of all they're ugly and disgusting self obsessed scrotes. They're always slimy and are into the drugs and cheap whores scene or whatever they call it, I've seen it way too many times. Third, they literally dedicate their entire lives to buying shit that you could literally find in a thriftstore. They literally dress in the most insipid way possible but just because a brand made their precious plain hoodie they're willing to spend $500+ on it. Also, their rooms suck. These men have no personality, shocker I know.

>>1338827Actually, yes, and I'm quite the big fan of them! I still buy some for myself occasionally. Small breweries get really creative and come up with really interesting flavor combos. The really premium ones from nice breweries would straight up just taste like milkshakes. The only thing is, a lot of these beers would be 5% alcohol, and would be so sweet that you couldn't finish more than a can on your own, therefore you wouldn't even get really drunk off of them (though sometimes I'd add vodka to them to make them a bit stronger). They are truly nothing more than a luxury good.
One of my most notorious customers bought about 700$ of ONE FLAVOR of beer once. Most of the time, people want to try them for the novelty and buy a selection of flavors. I just don't understand how he could have possible downed so much sugary, thick, sweet beer in the same flavor day in and day out.

>>1338839The specific type of beer I'm talking about is marketed as a "heavily fruited gose." One of the reasons the bubble popped is because breweries started being the middle man themselves and shipping across the states, and middle men like me were no longer needed. I got to try a whole bunch of them from a bunch of different breweries across the US. There are plenty of crap ones out there though. My favorites were from Imprint and Claim52, but Mortallis and Dewey were also awesome.
Anyway, in regards to scrote consoomers (scrotesoomers? scroomers?): one of the grossest things these weird guys did was collect their empty beer cans. Kinda like monster can collections. But they did not wash their cans well enough, leaving behind bits of fruitiness, which you could tell because their collections would literally be swarming with fruit flies, especially in the summer. Disgusting.

>>1338855https://www.mortalisbrewing.com/I went to check out one of the beer companies you mentioned and wow… definetely didn't expect something like this to be real. I would like to try something like this in the future just for the hell of it, but I think I'll stick to normal beer tbh. Interesting that they've developed this kind of beverage though! I hope your current job is treating you well

>>1338808Ngl I'm tempted to get into this. I've already been selling some of my or my family's hand me down stuff and having luck. Also, the other day I found something at 1$ I sold at 200$ (and before anyone gets hopeful–it was insane, dumb luck but also a testament to how sometime keeping your eyes peeled pays off).
But even as someone who is desperate to get by while I sort out other issues, it does fill me with dread and guilt.

I found this in the Rainbow High subreddit.. I guess this could also fit in the Doll thread, but the sheer fucking amount of doll boxes AND the fact they're an absolute part of the room is what does it for me. I get collecting pretty dolls, but I even understand having quite a few of them.. But when they begin evading your sleeping space? WTF?
No. 1341842
>>1341803Sheesh, they could of fit it all on one shelf if they unboxed them. I don't get boxed doll collectors. I mean, sure, keep some of the rare ones in boxes, but half the fun of dolls is touching their hair, posing them and messing with their outfits.
Also the fact that since this photo rainbow high came out with like 20 more dolls… haha I'm glad I decided to not start collecting them. They come out with so much so fast
