I know what you mean. At one point I had well over 1,000 dolls! I have literally been collecting since I was about 3. I used to collect anything and everything, including just about every Barbie doll. Then about five years ago I went through a major cleanout period. I just couldn't take having that many dolls in the house. I sold almost everything, keeping only my vintage Barbies and a few other fashion dolls. Everything else was pretty much replaceable and I must admit I am much happier. The collection keeps growing but I am pretty picky now. Most everything in my collection has a lot of meaning to me ... although I admit ocassionally I will buy a new doll with intentions of playing with her for a while and then passing her along to the next doll lover ... but the rest of them are here to stay! Believe me I try every once in a while I try to talk myself out of more dolls but it doesn't work. I have a rare Sasha doll, one similar (but in worse condition) recently sold on eBay for over $3,000! I still couldn't give her up. LOL! For some reason we're attached.
