I have several porcelain dolls that I've had since I was a child. I have no use for them and they are taking up space. I never been played with them. They are still in the box. How much are they worth?

If there are more markings somewhere it'll help narrow it down.
Just example (left doll)
Keyword: Vintage Queen Anne Porcelain Doll Collection on eBay you get a lot of searches. Be helpful if there are more information, name of the doll, year or any other information would be useful.
These are all mass-produced dolls. Regular sized dolls are $25 and under. Large dolls can go for up to $35.
Thanks for sharing your lovely gals. I wish I had better news for you.
The market is really bad for doll sales at the moment and these brands have taken a huge hit on values. At the moment, you would be doing well to get $10 each for them.
I know...not good. If you hold on to them for a while, they may come back in value (just because people are in such a mode of getting rid of things that in a few years they may regret getting rid of their dolls and want them back.
If you really want to get rid of them, you can see if a consignment store will take them and get them out of the house, and give you a percentage if they sell.
There are tons on eBay at the moment so they could sit for months unsold.
Post back what you decide to do. I so wish I had better news for you!
It is sad to think that mothers, grandmothers and aunts bought so many dolls for a loved one and usually thinking they would be valuable one day.
Thrift stores will usually take them as a donation but many times donate them to other charities because they are so hard to sell and just take up room that is needed for things that will sell.
If you search eBay for 'porcelain doll' today you will see more than 88,000 listed for sale. Of course these are all brands and sizes of dolls but still - 88,000 dolls.
Sold listings show 17,000 dolls sold over the past several months so not even 25% of dolls are selling and most of these are at very low figures.
There is no real way to show a true percentage of sales as the numbers change every day but dolls of any kind are usually very slow sellers and most are selling for under $15.00.
Hopefully you can find someone that would really like to have your dolls or maybe donate them to Toys for Tots at Christmas time.
