I have a doll that comes in a suitcase with 2 extra dresses on a hanger. It is from the Cathay Depot Collection dolls. Its name is Elizabeth Kristina. I could not find it on the internet and am wondering what the value of doll is. Here are some pictures.

Currently, these dolls are not selling for a lot of money. It appears people are listing them from $5 to around $20. There are a few that list a little higher but none of them are selling right now. People are not interested in buying dolls for their children because all the kids want these days are electronics.
I am not surprised that you can't find the exact gal online. Most sellers truly have no clue how to list dolls and list them with titles so vague and unclear that someone who wants something has to search through thousands to find what he/she wants.
I have found these dolls over the years with titles as vague as blonde doll with case. UGH! I checked 4-5 ways today and there is one that is a brunette that sold on WorthPoint, but I don't have a Worthpoint membership any more so I can't get the sold value. Often you can work around WorthPoint, but this time I can't find the sold price with any of my back door sites.
I can tell you as a reseller, that the Cathay dolls have not held their value in the resale market. I have seen them sell as low as .99 cents and has high as $30.00. I sold these dolls in many retail markets in the day for big bucks...it is sad that they have lost so much of their original value.
If she was mine and because the case is so nice, I would start my eBay sale at $50 and take best offer, which I would accept as low as $8 plus shipping.
Be sure to package her very, very carefully as she is quite fragile and the case also can be crushed easily. I suggest double boxing it.
