I know dolls aren't selling for much right now but I would really like to know how much she is worth. I didn't see this doll listed. She is a limited edition Soft Expressions porcelain doll, never removed from the box.
Soft Expressions dolls are made by DanDee and the value of similar dolls will be under $25-$35.
You may or may not find this doll listed for sale or sold (sold price = value) so in a case like that value is usually stated as the sold prices of similar dolls.
Check out eBay's sold listings to see what similar dolls are selling for: Soft Expressions: $3 - $30 - mostly below $20.

Your doll may be new - never removed from box, but it does appear that it may have been re-wrapped and not original cover.
All of these dolls are usually marked as 'Limited Edition' so that is not unique.
This brand doll has usually been sold at stores such as K-Mart so it was never a high value doll but some of these can still be sold for higher prices.
You did not write how tall your doll is, but I found dolls in similar boxes and judging by the arms of the same size. I even found a doll packed just like your doll: www.ebay.com/
So, you have Soft Expressions Collectible Bisque Porcelain Doll 12". Brand DanDee.
I can't make out your photo, but your doll should have a Certificate of Authenticity on her hand.
About the price. It ranges from $10 to $27: www.ebay.com/
You doll is very nice, I think its price is about $25.
I see that she has a round label. I've only met square labels.
Ok, it was not easy, but I found several dolls with round labels www.ebay.com/
This is Christmas Special Edition. I think that your doll is from the same edition, because she has a bow like this doll www.ebay.com/
The price is $25-30.
And here the price at the moment is $ 9.99 (shipping is not included) www.ebay.com/

So I have this DanDee doll in its original box, never taken out. I've looked online and can't seem to find it. Long time ago, I noticed she has no eyes. Just wondering if it's worth anything?
Being a manufacturing thing? Just would love to know more on this doll that my mother gave me about 15 years ago. Thank you.
I am just wondering what these dolls are worth. I got them from my grandmother at one point and have no use for them around here. They are the Collectors Choice by Dandee.
Unfortunately the Dandee dolls were on the low end of the spectrum when new and did not hold their market value in today's resale market.
If she is a small doll (like 15 inches and under) she may sell for $1-$15. If she is taller, $10-25.
There are a glut of dolls out there. Now is the time to sell before Christmas. Be sure to wrap her very carefully if you are shipping because she is so fragile that she can easily be damaged in shipping. Use tons of bubble wrap and double box.
This will impact the shipping so be sure to put the correct box weight and dimensions so you don't lose money.
Post back how your sale goes!
This type porcelain doll was mass produced from 1980's to 2000.
Porcelain dolls were made by 100's of companies and artists during their heyday when people bought them to put away with the idea they would gain in value, sadly, that did not happen.
There are over 5,000 Dandee Collector's Choice dolls presently listed on eBay for sale. There are many variations but the market research states that not even 10% of the dolls listed for sale will ever sell.

Hopefully, you have someone who might appreciate these dolls as they do represent a part of our past.
Could you tell me the value of this doll?
Thanks.
So many brands of dolls have more or less been 'dumped' on numerous online sites that not very many will be of value higher than $25 and most will be less. Not only is the value low but sales are very slow.
Your doll is very pretty and may be a little unusual but her value will still be less than $25.
If you wish to sell her it would be better to list her on sites other than eBay or Etsy. Maybe try out Facebook Marketplace or any of the other sites you see advertised.
The value of dolls has declined so much in the past few years it makes it so hard to sell one of these dolls and earn much off the dolls. If you check selling prices people are lucky to earn $5 for the dolls right now. The market is bad for dolls and it is best to hold on to the doll and try to sell it when the market improves or list this in your local area and see if you can sell it for a bit more.
Can anyone identify this Collector's Choice doll and tell me the value?
To be honest with you Collectors Choice has mass-produced dolls for years and they make quite a few dolls each year that they sell around the world. It is almost impossible to identify the doll and tell you the doll's name. The only way to do this one is to search online and try to find the doll listed on eBay or another site that is selling dolls right now. As for the value of the doll, this one has been very low for the past several years. The value of dolls right now is around $5-15 when selling them online. A few people will ask a bit more and include free shipping. But after paying the fees and shipping cost they don't net more than $7-10 dollars. I would suggest that you look locally for a swap meet in your area or even a garage sale. Try selling the doll there. You can also download an app for garage sales in your local area and list the doll there. Selling on eBay can take months if not years before the doll sell and there are so many there right now the market is considered flooded.
Collectors Choice doll by Dandee.
These dolls were mass produced in the thousands and sold in low-end stores like K-Mart, Walmart, K-B Toy store, drug stores, 5 & 10 stores, etc.
These are usually called 'decorator dolls' as they were sold for displaying and not for 'playing'.
The market has been flooded with this type doll for years and the value is usually less than $25 but generally less than $20. The other problem is that dolls are very slow sellers and most may take months/years to sell - if they ever sell.
Most of these dolls did not have a name and even if it did a name would not increase the value (unless it was of some significance).
You may never find an exact doll as there are over 2,000 Collectors Choice dolls listed at any given time on eBay alone and thousands listed on other sites as well.
You can do a visual search but finding your doll will not tell you anything that will increase her value.
Here is a link to eBay's dolls listed for sale. You can narrow the search by checking on some of the choices on the left side of the screen (size, etc) but many sellers do not put any type of information so that just means looking for a particular doll is like the proverbial 'needle in a haystack' search.
Asking prices are just prices a seller would like to receive for their doll and has very little to do with value as only a sold item will show what someone was willing to pay for that same item.

I have a twin set of sailor girl dolls as well as another doll. Can you tell me how much they are worth?
Are the twins 12 inches? The 12 inch ones I see being offered in various places for 9.99 each, but sadly I haven't seen them sell in a long time. Sold prices are the true indicator of market value.
How tall is the gal in pink? If she is also 12 inches that would be her approximate asking price.
Thanks for sharing your cuties!
The value of all your dolls is determined by the company that made them and how many dolls were made from each lot. Normally these companies produce dolls in lots of 1000 to 2000 dolls. The market value for such dolls has declined in the past few years. Your dolls are now worth $5 to $15 each.
How much is this Collector's Choice by Dandee worth? It was given to me as a Christmas present several years ago. She was (obviously) taken out of the box. Does that affect anything?

I have a Collector's Choice Series doll by Dandee. I would like help in finding its value.
I have a Collector's Choice series doll by Dandee and was wondering what it's value is, if anything. I've had it since I was a kid.
My daughter was given this doll. We were told that her grandparents had it about 30 to 50 years. I can't find this doll online anywhere. I just wanna make sure if it's valuable or not.
If it is I'm putting it up; if it's not I'll just let her play with it. It is a DanDee doll Brazil classic series special edition.
It is a mass-produced doll that is worth $10-$25. Let her enjoy it.
