Sadly, the value of these mass-produced dolls is very low, and dolls of all brands are usually very slow to sell.
You may see some Cathay dolls sell for over $25 but the majority will sell for under $25 plus shipping.
The number on her; 1-5000 is placed on most of the Cathay dolls and only means this doll is 1 of 5,000 produced (not #1 (first) doll).

The doll market is flooded with every kind of doll imaginable.

This means it is a buyer's market and sadly, there are not a lot of doll 'collectors' actually looking for dolls.
The name, Lisa, makes it a very common name.
Cathay also created numerous dolls on a swing so even the swing is not unique.

She is a lovely doll and being special does not always have a lot to do with actual 'value'.
She would be special to me.
