There are many dolls on the market. Are they collectable (like theme dolls) character affiliation . These type of dolls seem to go for a little more, because of the market. Generic dolls are only bringing in $5 to $20 in boxed/good condition. If there is a set or a group of dolls, offer a single and a special price for the group. Staging your dolls for sale is also a plus. Be creative on how they are displayed. You are looking to stand out from the many hundreds that you are up against . Sell locally if possible, this will help in savings with no shipping cost , if picked up from your location or neutral location. You could also try a yard/garage sell to help with profit.
Most of these are worth less than $25. Sell as a lot and give a 15-20% discount if someone takes all.
There are approximately 25,978 porcelain dolls for sale on ebay alone & some dolls are priced as low as $1. You might try having a yard sale & selling your dolls as a lot @ one price.
The doll market has been flooded for several years and since so many people are trying to downsize by trying to sell things they have collected for years, I do not see a favorable increase in value anytime in the near future.
When selling your dolls, you will have to decide if you want to sell them as a group (2-6 or more) or try selling them individually.
Either way, even at low prices, it may take months/years to sell a collection.
You can list dolls for sale on any site you are familiar with: Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or any of the other well-known sites.

First identify the manufacturer of your dolls. Look for the manufacturer's stamp on them. Most dolls will also have a marking indicating the year they were made. Look for any markers on the back of the head, shoulders, or upper back of each doll.
You can take photos of each doll and its maker's mark and post it on this website.
Then honestly assess the condition of your doll.
Then compare the price with similar dolls that have sold.
Be sure to pack the dolls very well before sending them to the buyer. Carefully wrap the head in bubble wrap. Wrap anything breakable in white paper towels or tissue paper, then bubble wrap. Read this post about how to pack and ship a doll www.restauration-de-poupees.fr/
