How do I get my Antique Doll to sell?

I have an Antique German Bisque Kestner 171 Doll that I have been trying to sell for a long time. I have tried selling it on Ebay, Creigslist and Kijiji,lowered the price from $1000 to $900 to $700 to $500 and it still hasn't sold. Does anyone have any tips on selling it? Please help.|||Either wait more time or try lowering the price further.|||One assumes you have good photos, dimensions, and either some provenance or history of the doll to provide to potential buyers.


Search for organizations of people who collect antique dolls and contact them directly about how to spread the word among their members.


You might also look for organizations about German culture, ceramicists, and people interested in vintage fashion, (assuming your doll has the original or at least period clothes.) People who are really into fashion know that before the invention of fashion magazines, (bundled from drawings or "plates,") dressed dolls were used to spread fashion trends.
