I have 1999 porcelain doll that has never been opened. I was wondering what the value is.
These are nice dolls but the doll market has been flooded for several years and value seems to be very low for almost all brands/styles of dolls.
This company made several thousand of this doll in different styles but I did not find an exact match to yours. There are several similar dolls listed for sale on eBay and the asking prices are all over the place but asking prices are just a price the seller would like to receive for their dolls. For current value you will have to search sold listings to see what someone is actually willing to pay for one of these dolls.
Although you may never find an exact match to your doll, you can use the sold price of similar dolls as there does not seem to be anything 'special' about any of these dolls that would make any one doll more valuable.
Here is a link to similar dolls presently listed for sale on Bay. You may find an exact match to watch or place a watch on any doll to see if it sells.
Remember; we usually have no way to determine how long any of these dolls have been listed as many sellers leave dolls listed for months or even years.

eBay is a good site for research but not very good for a new seller to try and sell their dolls.
If you still wish to sell your doll I would recommend listing her (with several pictures) on local venues such as Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, LetGo, and any others where you can list her as 'local pick up only' so there would be no shipping involved.
She is lovely. If she was in the case (there were some of this grouping that came in a wooden case), they sell (SOLD prices on eBay at an average of $75.00.
For the boxed dolls, they are averaging (SOLD prices) at 11.99 plus shipping (buyer pays). If you see them ending higher, check to see if they are "free" shipping, which means the seller pays and then has to spend the $18-40 dollars him/herself to ship.
They do fetch slightly more on sites where there is no postage involved, like NextDoor or Facebook local Sale Want Trade groups, but they take much longer to sell as you have to find just the right buyer. The sold prices then may be $15-20.
She is lovely! I hope you are able to sell her. The market is glutted at the moment!
These dolls are listing for various prices online. I check to see how much they were selling for and they ranged from $5 all the way up to $89. The higher-end sales were for the dolls that were in wooden boxes.
I am trying to determine the value of a Camellia Garden Collection porcelain doll.
If they are in the wooden boxes they start selling or the asking price starts at $45 all the way to $99. Just keep in mind asking price is not the actual price you'll get for the doll.
It looks like your exact girlie is being offered on eBay for 14.99:

I would watch her and if she sells that will be the current market value.
She (exact doll) has been sitting UNSOLD on eBay as low as 11.00 and as high as 15.99. All seem to be buyer paid shipping so add that cost if you are trying to value it for an in person sale.
I say start high and take best price...which sadly may be $5.00 or under. There is just a glut of lovely dolls on the market at any given moment and that has driven values down to the lowest I have ever, ever, ever seen!
I have a 2000 Camellia Garden Collection 16 inch porcelain doll featuring authentic Swarovski in a display case. How do I find out how much is it worth?

There are presently about 100 Camellia Garden Dolls listed on eBay. Check out your year and model for some info. Also check Google.
What would these 3 be worth? The ballerina box has a slit in the side of it.
There are a lot of these dolls online right now, they are only bring in $10 to $25 each. What might help you is that they are still in there boxes, and may get top price if staged well with maybe a auction/bid. You may also try yard sale with maybe a group price for the lot to cut back on shipping cost!
Porcelain dolls have declined so much in price in the last few years and people are flooding he market trying to sell off the dolls they have collected over the years. This really drives down the price and many people are not making more than $5 to $10 if the dolls do sell. I would suggest that you do not list this on eBay because most dolls there sit for months on end and never sell. It is better to try to sell them locally in your area. You may find a buyer that is willing to pay a bit more for the set of dolls. I know that people download garage sale apps on their phone and list the items in their area. You might want to try this and not list them online.
I was just wondering how much this doll is worth. She has a certification of authenticity and real Swarovski crystal earrings and necklace. She has a green dress and red hair and is in the original package which has never been removed and is enclosed in a brass and glass casing.
