Take a look at these babies!
Permalink   

Well, here are a couple of ebay babies that I thought you should take a peeek at. This first one isn't particularly cute but the realism of a screaming baby is pretty darned good. Even down to the red blotchy face and veins being more prominent. IMHO
But boy-o-boy! Look at that selling price! There are about 3 auctions going on where the baby's bid is well over $1000 USD! I thought this was a recession?!?!?!

http://cgi.ebay.com/BUNDLES-OF-LOVE-Reborn-baby-Prototype-by-Melissa-George_W0QQitemZ170546304389QQcategoryZ122723QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26its%3DC%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5167426972229800345

The second one is a really well done AA done by Deanna from Iowa. Her babies are always phenominally done. Pay close attention to the poses and the accessories she has with her babies. These are premo selling features. Not only are the pictures sharp and clear, the poses are natural (not like having a sleeping baby with their arms or legs in the air, which is NOT normal), and she has lots of different poses and close-ups.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290484748058&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT

Read both of the auctions, some give gentle warnings (if you have... or I will remove your bid... no refunds... etc), I usually pick up a tip or two when I read the auction through. See what you think. :)

Anyway, I just wanted to give a little tutorial here on why some babies sell.

OK Duhhhh, so here I was carrying on about these 2 auctions and as Liselle pointed out... I forgot to put in the links. Sorry! :o OK, now they're in there. hahaha

I saw the screaming baby and I agree not a cute baby but very detailed and well done.
I'd love to see the AA baby, I haven't seen that one yet.

I just got back and thought I'd check on my forumers and saw 3 comments in my thread! So I read it again, then went to Liselle's post and ... duh... you all probably think I'm daft! Darn woman! Talk something up and then don't even put in the links.... how silly! :l

So now they are in the first post where they should have been. Sorry!
*embarassing blush* Someone else posted this week about being a "numptie", well I guess that fits me with this post eh? hahaha
Ok, so now you can go look.

I think its the camera or editing....There were a couple of shots that looked too crisp on the edges, so I think there was a bit of photo editing done.

I dunno. Impressive job, but I wouldn't pay that much for that baby. I just dont care for the sculpt at all. But the painting is done very well!

No, personally I wouldn't pay that much for that baby either. But apparently a bunch of people would! :o

So here's another one that is getting up there in price. Carol is a really great reborner, and her rooting isn't too shabby either lol. You can see the rooting job is great and the coloring is super! Ruth Annette from the UK sculpted this little preemie, I think he's just delicious :)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180571594657
(you know... I keep copying the links and then forgetting to put them in the post... duhhhh me!

Again, the painting, the posing, the quality of the pics... This is what I'm after in this post. It gives me personally something to strive for! I can't afford to go overseas and take a class from Ruth or Carol but if I could I'd be there in a heartbeat. Ruth used to use the JoSonja paints on her babies and they still looked real. She did an AD Charlie that was TDF!! It's all about the realism.
And... as far as another post in forum (opening the nostrils), these 2 women are world class long time reborners and they usually DO NOT open the nostrils on their babies. So in case some customer asks again if someone would do it, I'd just say something like "not even world class reborners do that, so neither do I" hahaha

I know what you mean Tina! WOW! 7 days left and he's already almost at $1000 USD, with only 2 bids on it.

I can only wish to be that good. And I see this little one actually has a reserve price on it.
