I wonder if anybody else feels like this.
If I'm looking for a new to me, second hand, BAB I do not typically buy one that still has the hang tag.
Because I feel like there's probably someone out there who is looking for this Build-A-Bear with tags. And there can't be that many left of the older ones that still have their hang tags.
So I typically like to buy plushies that I'm going to snuggle that are in very good used condition with no tags. I feel like I am devaluing something that someone else would be really excited about.
Isn't that weird?
And sometimes when I accidentally buy one that does have a tag it makes it so much harder for me to take the tag off and snuggle it. Like there is an imaginary person that's somewhere in the world. Was looking for this and I'm about to ruin it for them. Even though I'm actually ruining it for me.
My brain is so weird.
So anyway, if you are out there looking for vintage BABs with the hang tags, just know, my weird brain is saving them for you. Haha!
Do you have any weird BAB rules for yourself?
