I have six different Cabbage Patch dolls from 1984-1985. They are all in the original boxes and have never been opened. I need to sell them, but am lost on how to price them. Can anyone help?

This one is asking $20. www.ebay.com/
You have an interesting one in that mix--the 1985 one has Japanese writing on the front. Do you know the history of it?
There were some that were only sold in Japan and they are fetching from $50 to $500. That may be a valuable one--but you would need to do a lot more research on it. What kind of outfit is it wearing....I made it bigger, but can't quite tell what it is wearing...a sweat suit?
What is the blonde girl from 1984 wearing? Does she have a pacifier? I can't see what is blocking her face ...a ribbon?
Typically the blonde hair /blue eyes don't fetch much...but there are a few that fetch more...but I would need to know more about what she is wearing and what her face looks like--if there is a pacifier or any accessories with her--also what is her name?
The infant (bald one) is the least valuable of the lot. They sell on average of $15. A few sell for up to $25, but since your box has damage, that drops the price significantly.
eBay is the best place to sell these...but I will tell you with the new DIM mailing at the USPS, it may make the shipping so expensive that it will deter buyers.
If you have a store that specializes in vintage items in your town, you may get more there for them and avoid the whole shipping thing.
Post back with more info on the dolls and I can see if I can get you more info!! Fun find!!
In 1982 Coleco was given the right to produce Little People under a new name, Cabbage Patch Kids.
Of course, the first dolls 'Little People" are usually still the most valuable but there were thousands of each style doll made from 1983 and on so most of these will not be very valuable.
Although many of the same style dolls were produced, there were also small differences in some and these can make a difference in value.
You may have to go to a CPK or doll forum to find out about the 1985 Kid that was made in Japan. He appears to be wearing a 'sport' sweat band and jogging/running clothes and could be valuable - or more valuable than your other Kids.
There appears to be several sites on Facebook but you'll have to ask your questions and post a picture (better/clearer than the one shown here).
Here are some links you can check out.

I'm not sure whether anyone on this site can help with these as they are more into vintage and antique dolls but it would not hurt to ask about the Japanese doll.
Here is a link to Cabbage Patch doll history.
