The doll certificates are misleading and claim they are limited editions. These dolls are mass produced and sold by the thousands. Your doll is worth around $30 to $40.

Your doll looks nice and in excellent condition but although Native American dolls usually sell faster than other styles, the doll market is flooded with all kinds of dolls and very few will sell for over $15-$35.

Price is not the only problem. Since so many dolls are available it just means that any doll may take weeks/months/years to sell.

Your doll is a 'Limited Edition' as it states on your COA. It is limited to 5,000 dolls. Of course, they may not make 5,000 as their final production number will be based on how well the doll sells.

It will be difficult to find your doll even though you have her name - Chimalis - because the majority of sellers do not have the names of their dolls. Names are usually found on a paper COA (these get lost) and sometimes on the back of the doll's neck/head and many sellers just do not bother to list a name.

There are many dolls by this brand listed for sale on eBay but if you check them out you will see most asking prices are below $35.

However, only a sold item can show the value as this shows what someone was willing to pay for this item.
Take a look at eBay's sold listing to see what people are paying for similar dolls.

I was only able to find one sold doll named Chimalis and it sold (maybe?) in 2018 for $5.

These dolls get up to $35, if they were never taken out of the box.
