I have a whole spiel about how dolls made in factories after the 80's do not have much resale value beacuse they were mass produced and on top of that the market is glutted with them.

This is about the doll's resale value in some hypothetical collectibles/commodities marketplace like ebay or whatnot

Insofar as being able to sell it to a person, it is very nice and has all the accessories so you could get $8 - $15 for it

If you were willing to sell it as a 'haunted doll' on ebay or etsy you could get upwards of $40 (true story)

Very pretty doll.
It is difficult to identify and place a value on an item without more information - such as the information member PGHgirl has requested.

It seems several companies made very similar dolls.
I believe she could be either a Collector's Choice Series doll made by Dandee or a Timeless Collection doll or a Lasting Impressions doll as they are all very similar and have the same type of suitcase/wardrobe.
If your doll does not have a brand name on the back of her neck or paperwork/tags with a brand name then you would only be guessing as to which brand she might be. It appears that she is 12 inches tall(?).

All are relatively low value dolls and all collections were originally inexpensive dolls. All brands were sold in toy stores as well as K-Mart & Walmart but no high end stores.

Here is one doll similar to yours with no brand listed:
www.etsy.com/.../vintage-beautiful-blonde-collectible

This doll is listed on eBay but check out the dolls showing in listings below the doll.

here are an examples from eBay:
www.ebay.com/.../254411325980
www.ebay.com/.../383752211667

As to value: I did not find an identical sold doll so I would have go with what similar dolls are selling for. This is difficult as only eBay shows sold listings and none were sold on this site.
The highest price for any of these brands is very rarely over $45-$50 and most dolls sell for S15-$25 (and much lower).
You have a nice doll so I would say you could start higher; maybe $50 and use best offer (plus shipping) and see how it goes. Sales are always unpredictable but as a general rule dolls are very slow sellers and many dolls are listed for months/years and may never sell.
Lower the price if you receive no offers.

As clarification:
When I say 'similar' dolls I'm only referring to some aspects of either the doll or the 'suitcase/wardrobe' and may have nothing to do with the type of clothing or actual style of the doll.

That is why you need an identical 'sold' item to be able to give a current value so without that sold identical item you just have to go by 'similar' items.

Look on the dolls back, back of the neck and bottoms of feet. You should see a marking. If you do not, it is most likely mass produced and not worth too much.

I have some questions.

How do you know her name is June? Is there a tag?

How tall is she? She looks too tall for the case. Are you the original owner and was she sold with the case?

The clothes are gorgeous!!

What is she made of? Porcelain? Bisque?

Is the case cardboard or metal or wood?

Maybe with more info, we can figure out who she is.

Thanks for sharing!
