Determining the Value of a Porcelain Doll Collection?

Determining the Value of a Porcelain Doll Collection - doll wearing a pink dress wrapped in plastic in a cardboard boxI have 13 various dolls that were given to my daughter when she was born and throughout her young years. I am needing help, or advice on how to proceed to find the value of each doll. None of them have been played with. They are in the original boxes and have certificates. An example is one from the Treasured Heirloom Collection by KAIS, Inc. called Emily Rose and she has a baby cradle.

These are mass-produced dolls that have a value of $25 or less.

It is sad that beautiful dolls like this have such low value.
They were advertised as "collector" dolls inferring that they would increase in value over the years but most do not even sell for the original cost.

As far as finding the value of each doll, you will need to research Google, eBay, Etsy using the brand name as well as the doll name and usually using the size will narrow searches.

One big problem is that companies that made these dolls tended to reuse the same names over and over so there may be several styles of each named doll.

eBay is usually the site that is used for current value.
Here are similar (like?) dolls presently listed on eBay. These listings will have what sellers are asking for their dolls and really has very little to do with true value as many of these dolls will never sell.
You can place a watch on any doll so you can see if it actually sells.

Here is a link to the dolls that actually sold on eBay (over the past several months) so you can see what is the current value of any of these dolls.

as said before, these dolls are mass produced and most likely have no financial value. They make nice decorative items, though.

The certificates are more for the brand, and the brand value has been reduced by mass production and by the fact that Wal Mart and other such outlets are where they are sold
