That's one of the big differences between people who are actively enjoying their items and "hoarders"...there is only so much room, only so much attention span, only so much time...if someone else can be enjoying something you are simply "over", then it should be "released into the wild" of Ebay again!Eklectic1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05664037132783743841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-18839003042031792312015-03-10T09:24:59.782-05:002015-03-10T09:24:59.782-05:00I love how well you have justified and explained m...I love how well you have justified and explained my need to acquire additional three-dimensional works of art. I do consider some research as they are used in my writing for hobby and professionally. <br /><br />The problem is: I have so many other 3D inanimate objects in need of new homes to beautify. I remain confident that slowly, but surely I will sell the "pieces" that have edified me to their fullest and can continue in that vein in the possession of others.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-81479162732262335232015-03-09T13:58:00.409-05:002015-03-09T13:58:00.409-05:00Well, this particular item was enrichment of the d...Well, this particular item was enrichment of the doll hobby, and not MORE DOLLS. There is a subtle difference there! So he was enabling your increased enjoyment of your dolls, which is actually VERY ECONOMICAL. Besides, you are a doll educator, so this is part of your research material, with which you can enrich the doll-interested. He is contributing to the knowledge wealth of the community thereby. (Can you tell I've worked as a copyeditor and proofreader for promotional agencies and marketing departments?)<br /><br />But as concerns wanting MORE dolls---If you love art (and dolls, as you enjoy them, are quite evidently art)---you always want MORE ART. Any good member of the Guggenheim family could tell you that!Eklectic1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05664037132783743841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-30572217042888256742015-01-07T04:13:38.321-06:002015-01-07T04:13:38.321-06:00I just gave him a dose of his own medicine.

I just flipped the script. <br /><br />This post did not include his reply to my email request. <br /><br />His reply:<br />greed \ˈgrēd\ noun - a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed <br /><br />In spite of his insinuation that I have more dolls than I need, he purchased the Mom Du Jos book (I purchased the doll). He also purchased a doll/book combination that my "Christmas I Want" email included. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-40299228533966376812015-01-06T20:26:10.942-06:002015-01-06T20:26:10.942-06:00LOL, How succinct!
