The Franklin Mint dolls from the Gone with the Wind series are still popular but it appears these dolls are multiplying quickly on several sites so the higher value may not last a long time.
You have been provided with all the descriptions of this particular doll and also quite a few listings where she is listed for sale or has been in the past.
Prices go from low to high and some have no particular reason for such high asking prices other than what a seller is asking for their doll. Of course, a preowned doll will/should be worth less than new in the box doll.

However, there are very few sold listings to substantiate the really high prices.
I did find where several different dolls in this series that have sold for big money but this seems to be in the minority.
Check out eBay's sold listings to see what people have actually paid for dolls in this series as a sold price indicate 'value' of that doll.
www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524...

I did find this listing of a 'Final Farewell' doll that recently sold for $199 so as far as an appraisal would go, this would be considered the 'recent value'.
www.ebay.com/.../403810482206?hash=item5e04faf81e...

There are usually several listings on WorthPoint but WorthPoint is not a 'selling' site, it is a site that appraisers use to show items that have been listed for sale but their listings do not mean the item actually sold.

You can apply for a 'free trial' but you must provide payment information to get this free trial and the internet has a lot of complaints that they were charged for a month even though they canceled before the 7 days were up. This is typical so be careful if you try this and maybe cancel the same day??
www.worthpoint.com/.../index?returnPage=%2Fworthopedia%2Ffranklin...

If you decide to list your dolls I would recommend having several very good pictures, a good description and list it on several sites with 'make an offer'.
Start your price as whatever you have gleamed for all suggestions and leave it posted for several weeks. If you do not receive any offers, you may have to reduce your prices and with again.
