Currently, the market is flooded with so many dolls it is amazing. People are looking to downsize and get rid of doll collections. Most dolls posted are mass-produced and come with a certificate such as the one you have here. Native American dolls seem to sell for a bit more than the other dolls on the market. The average sale price for these dolls ranges from $15-35. Dolls are not selling for much more than this right now and most of the dolls that actually do sell people are only getting between $5-15 for their dolls. You can start off by asking the higher price of $35 for your doll and adjust the price if anyone is interested.

just keep in mind selling online can take forever to sell this doll and some people have listed their dolls for over 6 months and they still haven't sold. I find out selling locally is a lot quicker. If you have other items to sell try a swap meet in your area or even host a garage sale. During this crisis, there is an app for garage sales that can be downloaded and installed on your phone. Many people are using these apps to sell things locally.

There is currently one doll similar to yours (not the exact same doll but close) listed for sale on eBay. I believe the price is high but you can place a watch on it to see if it sells - if it sells that would be your considered 'current value'. The doll is listed at $550 plus $150 shipping.

This is the only sold doll that is currently listed as sold and the price may show $420 but it also shows 'best offer accepted' so there is no way to know what the sold price really was. The shipping cost is listed at $150 which may be excessive (seller has it showing as being shipped in a Priority flat rate padded envelope so it appears they may have the shipping as 'guess").
It appears the 'buyer' decided not to pay for the item so the seller relisted it at $550 (this was the original price when the seller first listed it several months ago before reducing it to $420).

Here are some sites that have comments about the Goldenvale Collection dolls -

Dolls of all kinds are very slow sellers and many sellers just post dolls and leave them listed for months/years and some never sell.
Here is one example. This doll was listed for over 3 1/2 years before they decided to remove it - never sold. Not a 'special' doll but typical of dolls listed for sale ($25).

Is he the 4 foot tall doll? The larger Native American Warrior dolls are still sometimes sought after and people will pay good money for them.

You will want to watch this auction to see if it sells:
www.ebay.com/.../164290609424?hash=item26407bc110...

If so, that will be his current market value.

I had hoped to find an example of him selling recently--this seller did sell him for 430.00 recently, but the deal must have fallen through, because he is back in this listing.

This is a lovely doll, of many on the market. This doll is added to a long list of collections. Online they are being offered from $12 to in the $100's, but the are not bringing in the asking prices. The average sale is much lower, bringing in $10 to $25. These are sad times for collection of dolls, even those that are vintage one of a kind , are in danger of depreciation because of the large market.
