I have only seen one other Sandra doll still in the box unopened in excellent original condition. I am trying to find out the year it was made and its approximate value.
It is such a shame that the market right now is flooded with dolls like this. Many of these dolls have been sitting on these sites like eBay and Esty for so long and they are not selling at all. People are trying to sell the dolls for around $25-35 but they are not selling. The majority of the dolls that actually sell are only selling for $5-15 each. The price that dolls sell for determines the market value of dolls right now.
You have probably been searching eBay and happened upon these 2 listings and the asking price seems too good to be true.....
Listings like these are used for reasons only the sellers (and buyers) have knowledge of and they are not 'for real' listings.

These dolls were sold at K-Mart and there are thousands of this brand listed for sale and their value usually runs between $.99 - $35 and some of the dolls that do sell may have been listed for years before they sold.
Dolls are so numerous and so cheap that even if one sells the seller way not clear/profit more than -$15 to $10.
As far as I can determine, there is nothing special about your doll and if listed for sale, may eventually sell for $35-$50 but - may never sell.
Here are eBay sold listings for this brand doll so you can check out what people are really paying for similar dolls.

I'm sorry to be so blunt and I do not mean to be harsh but I just wanted you to know the 'true story' about these dolls.
To cybergrannies point, I was shocked to see 3 Sandra's--from 3 different sellers with huge asking prices on them. These two, and one on Etsy.
I was assuming they are fraud or money laundering, which is probably how these high values started...and the original sold one at that price dropped off and these three have been trying hard ever since to get it to repeat! All very puzzling!!
All 3 have been sitting unsold for a long, long time...so either these are fraudsters and they just aren't good (usually what the fraud mongers do is take a super common item, fill it with drugs, tell their "clients" to buy it on eBay at a crazy high price and then to make it look legit--they ship the doll and the drugs through the mail and the money is now clean because it was for a doll, officer!
When you see the solds, they are at crazy high prices which can't be compared to any other like item and the sellers have low or no feedback.
This just does not smell right so I am betting these are three people that saw something a while ago and are just following on each other's coattails thinking they have struck it rich and wondering why Sandra never sold!!!
You could always play their game and list lower than the lowest, which I think was $399 and see if you get someone to bite.
I can't think of anything that would make Sandra worth more than the average Collectible Memories doll--which is in the $$5-25 range in most parts of the US. There is absolutely nothing in my records that shows she was special, an error doll, has a real diamond ring or gold necklace--nothing--Collectible Memories were considered low end dolls even when they were new in the 1980s.
Please post back what you decide and how your sale goes!! I would love to see what she really sells for in an open market from a legit seller!!
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I have two porcelain dolls from Collectible Memories. Both appear to be somewhat vintage and have certificates of authenticity. They were designed by Norma.
I cannot find information about them anywhere. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
I saw the 30-inch doll for $74.25 on bonanza.com.
These dolls are lovely but this type of doll usually does not have a high resale value. The maker tends to mass produce them and this just makes them very "common".
eBay has several hundred listed - all sizes and styles:

But if you look at the sold items you can get a more realistic idea of the true worth:

I have a Collectible Memories genuine porcelain doll "Jane". It is still in the box. I never got it out and handled it.
It also has the the stand. What is her value or what does she typically go for?
Is she the 14 inch gal? I have seen your exact gal being offered on various websites from 4.99 to 9.99. All have sat unsold for months so I cannot confirm her current market value which always equals a sold price.
If she were mine, I would start at 9.99 and take best offer.
Thanks for sharing her! She is a cutie!
The doll value is surprisingly low and they sell for very little these days. The company makes dolls in lots of 1000 to 2000 dolls each time and this drives down the value of the doll after it has been sold. There are some people who just want to sell the doll and get rid of the doll but they still have problems even though they are asking just $5 for the doll. You are looking at a price between $5 to $15 for the doll. Try selling it offline you may get a better price for this doll.
Such cute dolls.
Dolls have the lowest value in history and I do not see any reason for that to improve as dolls are just not on very many 'wanted' lists anymore.
Girls are more interested in electronic items and cell phones even at a very young age. I believe this trend will continue or go even further and dolls will be almost a thing of the past as has happened to so many other things.
We can quote you figures but sometimes it helps sink in when you can actually see what is happening.
Here is the link to eBay Collectible Memories dolls so you can see what others are asking for their dolls and you might wish to place a watch on one or two to see if they sell (there are no Jane dolls listed right now but that does not really mean anything). A "Jane" doll would have to be special for the name to improve value (most listings do not have a name) and there does not appear to be anything special or unusual about your doll.
Doll collectors are not searching for this type doll no matter the price. Maybe a grandmother might place something special on a 'Jane' doll but may never see yours since there are so many listed.
eBay is the largest doll selling site in the world and there are presently more than 1,500 of this brand listed for sale.

The only place to try and find any kind of current value to find the same or very similar doll under sold listings on eBay.
You do not state the size of your doll but many sellers do not show this either. Usually, even with higher shipping costs, larger (18" and over) still sell for more money but no one has any idea how long a seller has had a doll listed before it sold.

If you still wish to sell then you might try listing her on Facebook Marketplace.or other sites with local pick up only.
I don't really know anything about dolls so I thought I would post a question on a site like this. I got her at a thrift store and wanted to know more about her. She didn't come with a name, but it said exclusively designed, hand painted and created. So I don't know if that means she's a one of a kind or if there are dolls like her. On her neck, it says 85 Leonardo, and I found she was sold in Kmart.
Ive seen other dolls like her (face, eyes, hair color and style) but I don't know if it's the same because blue eyes and blond hair are common. Searched the heck outta her brand, (Collectible Memories exclusive) and didn't find much. Again, I'm no expert so the stuff I might know can be completely wrong. Help is very much wanted, thank you.
You have a Collectible Memories Genuine Porcelain Doll 1996.
I found very similar dolls in the same boxes:
Collectible Memories Genuine Porcelain Doll 1996 Limited Collector Edition, new in the box www.worthpoint.com/
Collectible Memories Genuine porcelain doll 1996, approximative 16 inches tall, in mint condition, box has some signs of age www.worthpoint.com/
You can try the free trial for more information. But I think that the price of your doll is not high.
I would like to find the value of a Collectible Memories fine bisque porcelain doll. It is a limited collector's edition, Paula Beth. It has a hand crafted face, arms, and legs. She has hand tailored fabric-trimming, accessories, a rocking horse, plus a certificate of authenticity, and display stand included.
The doll is pretty old and I want to know its value in order to sell it.I believe this is your gal and she is on eBay right now at a fixed price of 8.99 + shipping. She's been unsold for quite a while now, which is sad. She may sell in the 4-5 dollar range...but I am sure the seller is not even happy that she is not selling at 8.99
You will want to watch her to see if she sells and that will give you her exact value OR you can list yours for less and then a buyer would pick yours vs. this one.

I feel bad she is not worth more. She is adorable!

My doll is in its package. It is a limited edition Collectible Memories, genuine porcelain doll. I don't know what year or anything about it. How do I find out?
These dolls are mass-produced. They have very little monetary value, but are pretty. They usually come with a certificate that tells you what number in the series is was. The doll should also have the markings on the neck, back or foot.

EBay has them for Bid/Sale up to about $30.00. Some offered online selling for $10-$25. Keep in mind that just because the doll may be fancy, old, inherited, etc., it most probably has little value as most are mass produced.
What is the value of a Collectible Memories porcelain doll "Lila"? I would also like to know the value of my Collectors Choice limited edition porcelain doll (can't find name). She has a red dress on and she is sitting next to a dresser with umbrella and necklace hanging from dresser

You can do your own research on eBay, Google etc. There are a lot of dolls available now.
I found her in a plastic airtight box filled with newspaper. She's in perfect condition, and has a tag on her wrist that reads "Collectible Memories: Porcelain Dolls: Taylor".
