How do I find out if a doll is worth anything?

My grandmother collected dolls for many, many years. She passed away a few years ago and left all her dolls to my mother. She would like to sell them but wants to make sure she doesn't sell a very expensive doll for $10. What is the best way to research these dolls and sell them without getting taken advantage of?


Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!|||You really need to be able to do your homework on this subject.


First you need to identify the dolls/makers.

Then once you know what kind of dolls you have try the next website.


http://www.dollprice.com/

You can also try looking on Ebay to compare what the going rate maybe on the dolls.





Hopefully these websites will also help you;

Good luck!!|||Check you local book store, most have extensive section on collectibles. EBay is another place to look to get a fair market value. If you have any antique stores in your area you can bring a few of the dolls in for the buyer / owner to take a look at, must places are very helpful. Best of luck.
