You can sell locally on Craigs list, eBay, you also could do a yard sale to avoid paying shipping charges to gain more for your sale

It really depends on what you have. Can you offer any more details on what you have and if you are an experienced reseller? Thanks!

This is not a good time to try and sell your dolls as most people are concerned about how to pay their living expenses and have no money left over for non-necessities.

Dolls were at an all time low value before this virus came into our lives so most dolls were valuated at less than $25 and most will fall below that amount.
To go along with that problem, dolls are very, very slow sellers and some sellers leave dolls listed for months/years and many never sell; even at very low prices.

The only way to determine the value of your dolls is to research each doll by brand, size, name. eBay and Etsy are the best sites to check but eBay is the only site that has a link to sold listings and a sold listing of an exact doll is the only way to determine current value.

Here is a link to eBay's sold listings for 'porcelain dolls'.
You can put narrow the search by using the brand, name and size of your doll and see if any have sold over the past few months.

If you check eBay total listings for all porcelain dolls you will see there are over 100,000 listings:

This is probably the worst time in history that you should be considering trying to sell your dolls.
If you still wish to try then Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Offerup, letgo, are probably some of the places to list. Since you cannot have someone pick them up at your home, you would have to mail them and shipping is expensive.

You can try selling them individually or sell them as a group.

To be honest with you right now is a terrible time to try and sell anything. The market is way down and people are worried about money to buy food for the family. I would suggest that you wait about 4 to 6 months before you try to sell the collections. You can post the collection locally on Craigslist, on Ebay or even on Esty to sell them.

You have the option to sell them one at a time, in groups of 3 or more or as a complete collection. Right now the market value for most dolls ranges from 5 t 15 dollars. You need to decide how you want to sell them and create an auction or just list them with the price you want and see if anyone is interested in them.
