Dynasty Dolls are very common. The nose in the air collectors call them mass produced. They made many, that is a fact. They also recycled names and dresses and hair colors so you will se multiple Amanda's out there, none of which look the same.

The 13-14 inch dolls, average about $12 online (sold prices--if they sell), the 24-30 inch dolls average about $19 if they sell.

Sadly there are dolls of this brand in all sizes sitting unsold for months as low as 2.99 plus shipping.

In June or July there was a brief uptick in doll sales as COVID took over the country. I think people were looking for comfort in beautiful things. The trend has turned downward again.

If she was mine, I would find a local venue to sell her, closer to Christmas. This way you avoid trying to ship her and the holidays always see a slight uptick in sales!

Thanks for sharing her!

I am so sorry but the Dynasty doll company mass produces dolls and sells them worldwide. Normally they will make lots of 500, 1000, or 1500 dolls at one time. They will be distributed worldwide to all markets and sold for a price of around $50 or so each. A while back people did collect these dolls because they were under the impression that they would be a great investment and they could later sell them for quite a bit of money. A few years back this all ended and the doll market took a nosedive and the price people were able to get for the dolls drastically dropped to almost nothing at all.

Today people are lucky to get $5-15 for one of these dolls because of the market and also the market is currently flooded with dolls. If you check the selling price on eBay you will see the mass majority of the dolls sold falls within the price range I have stated. If you want to sell this doll and try to earn a little extra it would be a good idea to sell it locally at a swap meet or even a garage sale.

It is such a shame to see beautiful dolls and find it is sometimes difficult to even donate them for free to a local thrift store. The stores will take them (many times reluctantly) but they are not fast sellers and many times are reduced to half price just to sell them.

Dynasty even reused the names many times so if searching for 'Amanda' you will find several different dolls (usually different sizes).
If you research the Dynasty Collection dolls listed for sale you will find some outrageous asking prices but when looking at sold dolls (eBay) you will find mostly very low prices.

There are so many dolls listed for sale and very few interested buyers that dolls tend to be very, very slow sellers and some will be listed for years before they sell (if they ever sell).

If you decide to list your doll for sale you could start at $60 with best off and see how it goes.
Listing on several auction sites will provide more coverage and may help sell your doll.
