A list below will give an insight into why:-
- Reborn doll kits range from £50-£100+
- Mohair 1/4 oz range from £10 - £30+
- Body ranging between £7 - £14
- Eyes (glass) typically £17
- Weighting/Filling approx £7
- Dummy/magnets approx £3
- Hair accessory £2+
- Clothes ranging from a minumum of £25+
- Box £5
- Ebay fees £20+
An average baby selling for £200 would cost an average of £183 (based on the above prices) to the artist.
Some prices can vary greatly like the clothes for instance, and of course some babies are sleeping and don't have eyes.
Most artists take about a week to paint and root the hair of a baby, so many hours of work have gone into these little works of art.
Notice I have put down the box,as I do not charge the customer that in the postage...in fact I usually lose on the postage. So you can see from this if the baby sells for £200 the artist doesn't really make any profit.
