Sellers and collectors usually use eBay when searching for doll information and their sold listings for value. eBay is said to be the largest doll selling site in the world.
- Checking eBay, I did not see an Ashley Belle doll named Hakana either in the listed dolls (over 400 Ashley Belle dolls listed) or in the sold listings but since there were thousands of different kinds/styles of dolls produced in the 80s and 90s it would not be unusual to not find one exact doll listed.
- You can keep checking eBay and Etsy for your doll and it is possible someone will list one in the next few months/years. If you find a listing for your doll or even a similar doll you can always place a "watch" on it to see if it sells.
- I originally thought that Hakana was an Indian name but found out that it is actually a Swedish name so it is possible that your doll is one of the dolls of the world series and may actually be valued at $25-35.
- Here is a link to Ashley Belle dolls currently listed on eBay so you can see how many choices people have. Asking prices usually have no relation to value as these are usually prices the seller is "hoping" to get for their doll.

- Here is the link for the Ashley Belle dolls that actually sold on eBay over the past few months. You may find a doll that sold for decent money but it will usually be a "specialty" doll (Princess Diana maybe) while the majority of dolls sold will be in the $5 - $15 range.

- Here is a good example of a beautiful doll in a case that sold on another auction site for $16 (sold in 2016 but same value today).

- Your doll may be one in the higher value bracket but without any solid basis to point to, I would have to go with the general consensus and say she would fall under $25.
- Many times dolls can command more money when listed on local auction sites like Craigslist as people tend to pay more money when they can actually see the doll.

Do you have a photo of her you can post? I am not familiar with this doll by this name.
I am curious about her, because most of the Ashley Belle Dolls I knew had very common American Names...like Molly.
Seeing her might job my memory and help me help you find a value! Thanks for asking!
