How is my Ashley Belle doll worth? It is in a photo frame box.

These are beautiful dolls but there are thousands very similar dolls posted online continuously so it makes it a buyer's market as not too many people are looking for 'one' particular doll and can take their time until they find one that they like and is selling at the best price; cost plus shipping costs.
Companies mass produced so many dolls that were sold on the premise that 'one day' these collectible dolls would be valuable and of course, this has not happened and never will. I say never will because there are still thousands of people just like you, that are just now thinking about selling dolls from someone's past.
The low value of dolls is not limited to one brand, one size, one ethnicity, or even type. There are some dolls that generally sell for higher prices but not usually the high prices sellers list them for.
The dolls that fall in this higher value group:
dolls 32-45 inches tall, specialty dolls like Princess Diana, movie stars, wedding dolls, true dolls of low volume produced (like only 5-200), American Indian dolls, and there are a few other types.
Unfortunately, your dolls do not fall in any of those fields.
Although your dolls are in a framed box this does not increase their value very much.
Ashley Belle dolls such as yours generally sell for $20-$35 and many sell much lower.
Some dolls are listed for sale for months/years at these prices and most will never sell.
These dolls unfortunately dont bring a high resale value. Maybe 20-35 at most even in excellent condition. This is due to mass production, atleast this is what I am finding out. But thats resale.
Ashley Belle dolls are very popular on todays market. On todays market they are not bringing in more than $25 because online there are hundreds for sale. You could try listing as a bid sale to drive your price up or put her on consignment.
These are mass-produced dolls which have decreased greatly in value. The most you could get is $25, and that is unlikely.
Someone posted a doll so similar to yours recently on Thrifty Fun:

I am stuck by how much alike they are.
Is your doll marked Ashley Belle?
Did you put her in a frame or did she come that way?
I am very curious what you have (like if this is original or not).
How tall is she?
I would need more info to give you any indication of value.
Let me know and I will see if I can help!
Thanks!
I believe that some of these questions were answered in this posters first question about her other doll made by the same artist: Yang Fai.
These are a series and I'm not sure how many dolls were in this series and artist but both of these dolls and also the doll that someone was trying to identify and the one listed for sale on eBay are in this series. They were originally in a 'frame' box and these 3 still have their COA.
