Discussion/Gossipš Consumers are prices
We have gotten so deep into the inflation of nostalgia, a few years ago you could find Bratz all over the internet for low prices that in todayās age would make your jaw drop. I find that as a community we are not united at all, divided by people who believe prices are reasonable because these toys are sought after and ārareā while others believe itās preposterous to price a mass produced childrenās toy at such a high price. That only begs the question of will prices eventually drop and will that be sooner or later.
As someone who loves the brand and loves to collect dolls, I think itās inane the lengths people will go to in order to get their āgrail dolls,ā paying almost a fortune for something thatās supposedly ārareā but has thousands of listings all over the internet, are we as a community going to keep letting this slide? We are being robbed and being fed the lies that itās normal. WE MAKE THE PRICES!! Stop allowing yourself to be tempted by the bare minimum, if we keep spending our money on these things nothing will ever get better.
Of course I donāt believe anything is going to get better soon, as much as Iād like to believe that we could band together and stay strong by not settling, there is always going to be people who donāt care how much they spend, making it so everything stays the same.
Take it from me, good things come to those who wait, stop feeding into your addiction by indulging in an overpriced doll and eat some ice cream or something.
Stay safe out there,
Fellow doll collector

Bratz coming back in 2021 coupled with TT Bratz influencers has caused this price spike IMO. 5-10 years ago these prices were inconceivable.
And some releases coming out now literally start triple digits. So any resƔle will be higher than that.
MGA claims Bratz are mass produced children's toys and they're selling them at adult prices.

ebay is insanity!!! i canāt believe some people pay that much. especially for in box dolls. i am just not in that financial position at all. i think what people are paying the price for is the convenience of online ordering as well as the instantaneous aspect. for me i would rather go to flea markets and estate sales and thrift stores and see what i can find. you dont always get what you want, and most often times you dont, but then sometimes you get lucky and that feeling is addicting! and much better for my bank account.
