Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about them Precious Moments bride thingamajigs. Folks seem to be makin’ a big fuss over ’em these days. I seen some pictures online, you know, on that face-book thing my grandkid showed me. Little dolls, they are, with them big ol’ eyes. Reminds me of my cousin Sally, always cryin’ at weddings, even if she didn’t know the bride or groom.
Anyways, these Precious Moments, they ain’t just any dolls, I reckon. They got all sorts – brides, grooms, even little animals, I swear! People collectin’ ’em like they’re gold or somethin’. Heard tell some of ’em old ones are worth a pretty penny. Fifteen thousand dollars, that’s what the internet said! Can you imagine? For a little doll? Back in my day, fifteen dollars was a lot of money, let alone fifteen thousand.
- You got yer bride figurines, all dressed up in white.
- Then there’s the groom, standin’ there lookin’ all stiff and proper.
- And don’t forget the wedding sets, with the whole shebang – the altar, the preacher, the whole nine yards.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you, but from what I gather, these Precious Moments things are made by some company that likes God and all that. They started makin’ ’em years ago, and folks just went crazy for ’em. They got them teardrop eyes, like I said, and they always got some kinda sappy message written on ’em. “You’re my always,” one of ’em said. Sounds like somethin’ my old man used to say after I yelled at him for leavin’ his socks on the floor.
If you got a hankerin’ to sell these bride dolls , or any of them Precious Moments, seems like the internet is the place to go. Etsy, Ebay, them kinda places. But be careful, there’s a lot of swindlers out there, tryin’ to rip you off. My neighbor, Agnes, got sold a fake Rolex watch online once. Paid a hundred bucks for it, and it stopped tickin’ after a week. So, you gotta be careful, ya hear?
I saw some prices online, too. Some of them Precious Moments Wedding bride figurines are cheap, like ten bucks. Others, the special ones, I guess, can go for a whole lot more. Eighty dollars, ninety dollars, even more! It all depends on how old it is, what kinda shape it’s in, and if it’s got any of them special marks or somethin’. They say the ones with diamonds, or lookin’ like diamonds, are worth more. I don’t know nothin’ about diamonds though, only seen ‘em on TV.
People buyin’ these things for all sorts of reasons, I reckon. Some folks collect ’em, like stamps or coins. Others buy ’em as gifts for weddings or anniversaries. And then there’s folks like me, just curious about what all the fuss is about. I still don’t get it, but to each their own I say.
They call ’em Precious Moments, and I guess that’s true for some folks. They remind ’em of special times, like gettin’ married, or havin’ a baby, or whatever. For me, precious moments are sittin’ on the porch with a glass of sweet tea, watchin’ the sun go down. But hey, that’s just me. These little dolls, though, they seem to make some people happy, and that ain’t a bad thing, I reckon. If people wanna spend money on dolls that’s their business I say, not mine.
So, if you got some of these Precious Moments dolls tucked away in your attic, might be worth dustin’ ’em off and seein’ what they’re worth. You never know, you might be sittin’ on a small fortune. Or, you might just have a bunch of little dolls with big eyes. Either way, it’s somethin’ to talk about, ain’t it?
And if you’re lookin’ to buy some I guess that internet is the place to go. Just be careful like I said, lots of people out there tryin to take advantage. But if you get a good price, well then good for you! I still don’t get it myself, too much money for little dolls. But that’s just my opinion I guess, you young folks know more than I do these days.
Anyway, that’s about all I know about these Precious Moments bridal dolls. Hope it helped you out some. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
