I have a Collectible Memories porcelain doll still in the box. I have been told it has never been opened. It does have a rip in the bottom of the box as you can see in the picture. I'm wondering how much this will cost if I were to sell it.

This doll is worth no more than $25, even if never taken out of the box. The rip in the box doesnt matter much
Oh okay thank you for telling me :)
She is beautiful!
Right now there are no completed/SOLD auctions on eBay that match her, so it is hard to give her exact current market value. I only use SOLD auctions and look for exact matches to give value...as there are often similar items where one has value and one doesn't. The way I research condition does matter...so one with a perfect box may fetch a small amount higher than one with an imperfect box--I would judge value on the exact match.
That said, there are a large number of unsold similar dolls in a variety of price ranges from the low (5.00 up to the mid 20.00), which points to the sad glut of dolls out on the market at the moment. Unfortunately for collectors, eBay and Etsy have kind of killed the "value" on these as they used to be rare and now are almost literally a dime a dozen.
The way the market runs, since there is a glut TODAY and many people are purging them now to get space back, eventually they may become more scarce and therefore more sought after and have their value grow. You never know with the market! Stranger things have happened!!
