I dont' know how much you can succeed in selling these dolls. Not only that, but it doesn't even seem to have shoes.

This professional doll site has this to say about it: "Modern porcelain collector dolls sold from about the 1980s to present, were meant to appeal to adult doll collectors, not children. The theory was; buy it, keep it in the box or debox, but keep it unplayed with, after some time passes, you'll be able to sell it for more money than your original purchase and make a profit. Dolls were easily found in department stores, grocery store toy aisles, card shops, toy stores and on TV from QVC etc.

The quantities sold of each collector doll could be large, it's the sheer quantity of all available porcelain collector dolls today, that is determining the current value, as they flood the market place, online and elsewhere..... Sad to say, but these dolls are now available in such large quantities they have little to no value today." http://dollrefe ector_dolls.html

you could try to sell them as bulk on ebay, with a realistic expectation that you might not get more than $20 for all of them. Or donating them to a charity and taking a tax deduction might be the way to go.

You can send this picture to the Antiques Roadshow. Go to PBS.org and they will be on the website.
