Buying Guide: 12 Ways to Save Money on a BJD

Aside from Bratz and Barbies, I also collect BJDs. Left to Right:
Reza, Avram, Darcy, and Laurel. This is their first time on my blog, yay! :)

Ball-jointed dolls are never "cheap." They average between $300-600, and more for premium brands. Does lower cost mean lower quality, damaged goods, illegal activity, or the need for a special membership?

No. These are myths. BJD distributors mark-up retail prices to match consumer demand. Mark-ups have less to do with quality, and more to do with trends: today's hot doll is tomorrow's old news. Companies aim to sell dolls at maximum profit while people still want to buy them.

So it doesn't matter what you buy as much as how you buy it. DollyCare's "12 Ways to Save Money on a BJD" features tips I used to save $600+ on my collection. Read on to see all 12, and let me know what you think in the comment space :)!*
