The 5 Points that affect the Price of a Reborn Doll

Reborn dolls are expensive to buy and to make. On top of this they are hand crafted one offs. Even if they come from a kit each doll is hand painted and finished by a reborn artist.

Prices of reborn dolls have increased as the art is seen as more collectable and some of the better artists are able to make larger profits from their dolls. But for most reborn doll artists the ability to be paid even a fraction of what the doll is worth is a hard.

Here are the 5 main areas that money is spent in making and selling reborn dolls;

1. The doll must be painted, glued, eyes and eyelashes attached, needles, brushes, paints used. A cloth body with weighting materials, poly fill for stuffing, belly plates and beating hearts. There are electrical costs associated with the painting of the doll as most doll are painted with a heat dried paint and an oven is needed in between coats. These costs together come in the vicinity of $200 – $300.
2. The hair of a reborn is usually hand rooted mohair which costs between $25 -$50 an ounce. The needles used are specialized felting needles at $10 – $15. There is quite a lot of wastage from the routing process so the small amount of hair seen on a reborn dolls head is not nearly the amount gone through to get that effect.
3. The clothes a reborn doll is sold in cost money. The amount of money depends on the quality of the outfit. There are many reborn leaving their artists in handmade outfits that would easily sell for $100 by themselves. Dolls are also sold with pacifiers which need magnets to be adhered on the inside of the doll. Baby blankets and quilts.
4. The marketing of a reborn cost money if the doll is put on an auction site. The auction site takes a cut, the money handler takes a cut and any other service used in the marketing takes payment. There are costs involved with shipping the doll to it’s new owner. Reborn dolls need to be shipped in safe ways and even if the buyer is covering the freighting costs there is still the need for a secure box and packing material.
5. The time a reborn artist usually spends on a doll is approx 40 hours. That is an entire work week on one doll. A reborn doll artist if they were to charge minimum wage for their time would only be earning the same as a kid in McDonalds. The phrase ‘struggling artist’ suddenly has a whole new meaning when it is spelt out in terms of what a piece of art like a reborn doll actually costs to make. Most reborn dolls are lucky to sell for more than $500 on sites like eBay. That means the reborn artist is not being paid for their time or their expertise.

Next time you price your reborn doll do it with a full redown of the costs of the doll and why the price is set at a certain figure. And if you are the buyer or collector of reborn dolls remember you get what you pay for and that the low cost dolls are not being produced by reborn artists with the faith in themselves to demand a decent amount for their dolls. You will always get what you pay for.
