Sorry for the weird wall paint again, It's not a fast fix for us

Before I say anything, here is the outfit I got him in at all stages and then without

Here's a close up of his overalls and here is a close up of his damages/repairs

And his size in comparison to my desk chair, some rolled up socks and my cat

Now that you have met him, this is Rupert. I got him at a table to sale and when I asked about a price, lady 1 said to 2 'what do you think, £5?' and 2 said 'yeah get as much as you can for it'. Lady 1 then told me that he is 50 years old and she remembers cos it was her son's 1st birthday. That's crazy to me cos he is huge and I don't mean to be dark but he is also quite heavy, this bear is about the size of a 4 year old n I'd never expect any baby to sleep with him, it's a miracle he and that baby made it to 51. Anyway, £5 is crazy for a 50 year old bear and it's not even like she was an independent seller, she'd given the bear to the charity she helps out so they'd have kept him for the next sale. I brought him before she said his age or I'd probably have given her more. I was thinking of getting rid of my bear Cas, I'll show you guys him next, he's on the larger side and I've had him for 5 years but I haven't hugged him much and he's only been to one tea party. I feel bad replacing him cos I got him second hand so going to a 3rd home is weird. But Rupert now sits in his place very comfortably and as soon as I put Jessie's hat on him, the sun made him look somehow more pretty.

Side story:

I ran into a Blue and Green Piccadilly the Bear Ty from the Attic Treasures collection with tags at that sale too at a different stall n she also wanted £5 for him but I couldn't do it cos Rupert is huge n my birthday is soon so I know I'll have more toys but that type of Piccadilly sells online for 30-900+ and her one has the tags in perfect condition so I told her than and she thanked me like 5 different times, she said it was really sweet of me to tell her cos I could have just said I changed my mind but I said I couldn't cherish him like he needs cos I know I can't. But I can for Rupert because he is a good anxiety toy I feel
