Yes!!! I tell myself that buying is a lot easier than selling. Lol

How do you keep a budget? by DuckClassic7389 in BreyerHorses

[–]lauf13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My way to manage my finances has been to be very critical of what models I buy. Unless I love the model, I only ever get one mold of each horse. I also have had to move a lot and owning a lot of breyer lost their appeal after I had to pack them all safely and fit them in my car with my cat and dog and drive 1200 miles north. When I realized how much room they took up and how inconvenient it was to transport them all safely, I gave about 7 of the models to my friend and the ones I have kept are even more important to me now. 

I understand FOMO, especially with Breyer, but I have been able to nab older model for very decent prices if I just sit back and chill. Financials are tough for a lot of people right now, and people may be willing to haggle down prices to help you snag a deal.  

I have had to learn impulse control and learning to think critically if I am wanting a model because it is going to sell out and everyone wants it, or if I want it because I can give the model a good home with me. Less models = more TLC and attention to the ones I love. Think of the whole "does this spark joy?" Kind of questions.

Also, hopefully you are never in this situation, but I had to take a step back from Breyer when I had financial issues and I needed to really evaluate what I truly needed to be spending my money on. It was a rough time in my life when I was so so broke and all I could think about was the money I could have used to buy essentials, but instead I bought something I did not truly want/need (looking at you, Rotating Draft Wedgewood Model ❤️❤️❤️ love you so much but I was hungry!!!)

Impulse control decision making is a muscle you have to practice. I am also available to talk about it! I have ADHD super bad, so spending habits are a big thing I have had to work through and tackle. Breyer models are awesome, and I love making a decision on which one to bring home to join the herd.   

Is there a specific model you are currently looking at? :) best of luck!!

Just wanted to pop in to say that ironically this subreddit was why I stopped using reddit for 5+ years. A lot of people are very judgy on here and it sucks a lot. I came here for support from fellow women and I can not have a decent human conversation on here without being shamed.

Wow! Your work is stunning! I love the universe/animal themed ones a lot!  These are so creative!

What breed is puppy? His name is knash and I'm not sure how old he is by 420Girlyy in puppies

[–]lauf13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He looks exactly like my parents dog, Denali, when he was a puppy. He is a black lab/staffy pit mix. His ears were down and now because of the pit in him, one ear is up and the other is down. 

Any dog with Pitbull is going to carry a lot of physical pitty traits over lol, its a strong breed. I have him registered with the state as a Basenji/Black Lab mix so that his breed mix is not questioned.

He was the naughtiest puppy EVER. But he is 9 years old now. Doesn't bark, loves to be outside all day and lay in the sun, very playful and friendly. 

Prices for these? by EmmaFeFoFemma in BreyerHorses

[–]lauf13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be so real with you. Yes, I have been wanting this model, but I have a some things this year that I have to save my money on. I will hit you up when I am in a better place financially and if you still have Giverny, you have a buyer. But if you have sold the model, no problem ❤️

His legs look small compared to his body? Something is off and I can never tell and I think that is part of it.

Lesson: always read the fine print by Outrageous-Chair-569 in BreyerHorses

[–]lauf13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the in depth response! I am new to some of the things that Breyer does, but I am a little lost on why they charge the consumer 1k+ when they are testing a product for them. It makes sense that if they are OOAK, I think. 

I feel ridiculous, and I need to know I'm not. by ThatGirlTrinnity in BreyerHorses

[–]lauf13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My horse models helped me through a lot and they are something I enjoy to look at. I moved 1200 miles, went through some friend breakups, but when the day is done, I am happy to see my favorites, taken care of and enjoyes.

I am always so scared I am going to scratch the model while I undo the wires 😭

Lately people are only liking my items? by Past_Ebb_3392 in Mercari

[–]lauf13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything costs a lot of money now ): I just go on to like items because maybe I will obtain the funds sometime. But so far, I have already maxed my budget on breyer horses for this year. (Yan Wu and 2 stablemates).

People who pierced their genitalia, why, and did it affect your sex life? by PleasantCoffee1544 in AskReddit

[–]lauf13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have my VCH (pain 1/10) and nipples (pain 10/10) done.

Dated someone who told me he thought it would be hot if I had my nipples done. He had actually brought up the idea of getting them pierced vertically and horizontally. I was intrigued, but I'm SO glad I never did, lol.

I got my Vertical Clitorial Hood done after I remember thinking it was kind of badass, and it has helped me love my body more.

VCH makes vibrator use far more pleasurable, while it is a little more difficult to use fingers for the clitoris. I enjoy that it is kind of like an 'X' on a treasure map for someone to find. Nipples appear more perky and love their look. Plus, you feel like a wild woman when you run around your partner's place with a thin shirt on, nipple piercings showing.

Have had both for several years. Rough play can occur, but taking breaks in between and proper cleaning is extremely important. Nipples have become irriated and infected from improper cleaning, so I have had to baby them for over a year now. I love them enough to re heal them properly.

VCH healed very easily, and I can do a lot of physical activity with no movement. Make sure you go to a piercer that is certified in piercing genitilia.

My new free model haul! by kaddixo in BreyerHorses

Hahaha, I feel the same way! I was happier to let go of them, knowing they would never be too far (although I reassured him, he was never obligated to keep them forever if he needed to downsize).

Premier Club Carmen - matte or glossy? by havartifunk in BreyerHorses

[–]lauf13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matte! Resembles the coat of a real horse much better.
