This is a Little Ladies brand doll. You may want to watch this auction as she is your exact doll and see if she sells and that will give you today's current market value. Sold prices is the only way to know what some will pay for an item = value. This is not profit though, you will have to pay all of the fees on eBay and Paypal (the buyer pays the shipping typically--if you pay the shipping, then you have to increase the asking price to cover the shipping which then comes out of your pocket.

I will tell you that she is one of several of this exact lovely that have been sitting unsold on eBay for months and months and months at various prices from this low price of $24 up to $40.

Sadly they have lost value in today's market and worse, trying to ship these lovelies is a logistical nightmare.

Post back if you are able to sell your gal and how much she fetches!

Thanks for sharing!

Pghgirl is absolutely correct about the number of identical dolls listed on eBay right now and most have been relisted over and over.

It appears that only one has sold in the past several months and although it was listed at $49.95 with free shipping, it was sold for "best offer" so we have idea what the seller accepted as full payment.

One thing for sure, the seller did not make very much profit from this sale as it was listed with free shipping and if you check any of the other listings they are listing shipping between $22-$35. After the seller pays shipping, insurance, eBay fees and PayPal fees there will not be very much left as profit for the doll. They may even be lucky to break even.

I am posting some of the other listings that I found so you can place a watch on any or all of them to see if they sell anytime soon.

If you decide to try and sell your doll, I would suggest listing her on Craigslist, OfferUp, LetGo or any sites where you can list as 'pick up only' so there will be no shipping involved. I believe you may have better luck on one of these sites as these do not seem to be listed in places other than eBay.
You can always start your listing price high and lower it if no one shows an interest.
