Ashley Belle dolls are usually mass produced which lowers their resale value. Although your doll shows only 400 were made this is still a mass production because it is the largest doll - 40 inches is very large for the usual "domestic" doll and fewer large dolls are sold new or "preowned/used".
- Larger dolls (over 16-22") may sometimes sell for a little more money they are much more difficult to sell - very slow sellers on any auction site.
- This type doll is also very difficult to pack (safely) for shipping and also costly to ship.
- Your doll may be valued at $80-$125 but you may have to keep it listed for many, many months (or years even) unless you are real lucky and someone is looking for a doll to display in a store.
- I did not find any Cedrica dolls and only two 40" dolls listed on eBay or Etsy (these are the two largest doll selling sites).
- There were over 400 Ashley Belle dolls listed on eBay and Etsy and most were listed for under $35.

- Here are the Ashley Belle dolls that were sold on eBay over the past several months.

- You can keep checking these sites for a 40" doll and maybe get a better idea of what yours might sell for.
- Dolls this size may sell better on your local sites (like Craigslist) and there would be no shipping problems.
- Craigslist is also very easy to list (good description and several photos required) and you could start your price at a higher amount - even $200 - as you could reduce it if no one shows an interest.
- Always be careful when allowing a stranger in your home to view an item as safety is a priority - better to meet in a public place.

These are mass produced dolls that are not worth much. This doll is larger than others, and could be worth $35-$50.

Ashley Belle is a doll that is widely mass produced these days. There isn't much of a resale value on these dolls because of how many are widely available.
Normally people are selling these 40" dolls for around $15 to $35.
