: : I still collect, but being unemployed, I can't spend like I used to. On eBay, it's now a buyer's market. I recently purchased Daisy for $44, Chelsea for $11 and Charity for $6.50, all in mint condition. Used to be you'd never find these so cheap. I had sold my extra 23 piece Hamilton mini nativity set for $165, which was much less than I paid for it, just so I would have money to buy some more of my beloved CT's. I love Cherished Teddies deeply, but honestly wish they'd quit making them so I could save the money. I either have to try to sell things on eBay to get spending money or charge CT's on our credit card, which will be maxed out if I don't ease up. The CT's they are making are more adorable with every release and I just have to have them, so until the stop making them, this girl will remain heavily in debt! My feeling is that Enesco has destroyed the line. They have over produced and raised prices and neglected their loyal collectors. They seem to have no interest in Cherished Teddies at all. There is not one store that I can go to and buy them locally any more. I am so disgusted and have not purchased any new ones for a long time. I feel very foolish for wasting all the time and money on the large collection that I have.
