Value of Ashton Drake Fairy Tale Dolls?

I have 2 Ashton Drake dolls from the Heroines from the Fairy Tales Forest Collection. I have Goldie Locks #9280 Q and Little red Riding hood 8044 E. Both are in mint condition along with the boxes. Neither have been removed from the box.

Ashton Drake makes dolls that are considered mass-produced and they normally come in lots of 1000-5000 dolls of each one produced. That makes it harder to sell these dolls. Right now the market is very low and has been for several years. The online market is flooded at the moment with dolls and this makes it even harder to sell a doll. Most of them can sit online for months on end and they are never sold. The average sale price for dolls like this today range from $5-15. You might get lucky and sell the doll for around $25. Most people are lucky to get around $10 right now for their dolls. I would suggest that you might want to try and sell your doll locally because you could have a better change of selling it. Online there are just too many of them and it makes it harder to sell them.

These are so cute but so plentiful that a buyer can keep searching through all the 'high' asking prices until they find one for $25 or less - still in the box.

The biggest problem is that dolls are a diminishing attraction and will not be on very many 'wanted' lists anymore. Young girls are rarely interested in dolls anymore but seek out phones and electronic gadgets instead and they were the biggest market for dolls.

It appears that Goldie Locks is listed less often so you may be able to ask $25-45 plus shipping for her but it may take many months for a buyer to come along - or who knows - sales are not very predictable so you never know for sure.

eBay is the biggest doll selling site in the world so you always check out their listings and even place a watch on any you want to see if they sell. Asking prices are all over the place so that just means the sellers are 'guessing' and hoping for their price.

eBay and Etsy both sell the more dolls than other sites.

Here is the link to sold dolls on eBay so you can check often to see what someone is willing to pay for these dolls. You may find an exact item and if so, that would represent 'current value' for that item

Many times it is better to list on sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, offerup, letgo, and any others you know about as you can start your price high and lower it if no one shows an interest.
Listings have to have good pictures and description.

Google has a shopping link that shows a lot of dolls listed for sale in different places.

Because eBay, Etsy, and Amazon are the biggest sellers of dolls, there are hundreds for sale in a down market. Everyone is selling dolls! You have to find a way to make yours stand out.

To save money on shipping cost, you can sell locally. Try selling at a yard/garage sell to reach a better price. Dolls online are not averaging over $25 in the final sale!
