Value of Seymour Mann Dolls?

A marking on the back of a porcelain doll's neck.My mom bought dolls over the years. Now, as we empty her house, we are looking to sell them. Is it better to sell as lot? Individually? Is it even worth putting the time to sell them? Sorry about my ignorance but my sisters and I have no idea as to what to do with the dolls. We have 18 of them.

I believe the Seymour Mann dolls are some of the prettiest dolls but the doll market is flooded with all brands, sizes, and styles and this just makes the general value of almost all dolls very low.
However, some dolls do sell for higher prices but determining which dolls may be more valuable, takes research on each doll.
The best way to do the research is to take each doll and individually check for her name (COA) and then search eBay's for sale listings but mainly their sold listings.

If no luck, go to Google and search through these dolls. You may have to resort to searching by looks but that is very time-consuming. You may have to list your dolls with a starting price of $35-$45 plus shipping and consider offers. Leave dolls listed for several weeks and if no offers received, then lower the price.
Dolls are generally very slow sellers.
I would recommend listing individually and list on several sites: maybe Facebook Marketplace and any local sites so there would be no shipping.
Be sure to provide several good pictures.

Since you are inexperienced with selling dolls, I advise you to sell them on local market than on eBay, as these dolls are extremely fragile and often do not survive shipping.

For example local NextDoor groups, Facebook marketplace.
