Dolls of all brands/sizes/style/condition have reached an all time low and market research states this is not a temporary trend but value may even fall lower in the future.
Reasons: Dolls are on very few people's wanted lists as the biggest market for dolls - young girls ages 2-12 rarely show interest in dolls and especially a doll that is not to be handled. Electronics has become their world of interest.
Collectors are only interested in very rare (usually antique) dolls and even these do not have the same value as in the past.

Your doll is lovely but the only way to find her is a visual search and that could take many hours with no guarantee of finding her. I did not see her in the sold listings on eBay and only a sold exactly the same doll would be used as 'Value' as a sold item shows what someone was will to pay for that item.

You can check out the 800 Dynasty dolls presently listed on eBay to see if you can find your doll. The list can be narrowed by checking the boxes on eBay as to size/style/etc. Names are only shown on a COA and do not mean very much as most sellers are like yourself and do not have the name of their dolls.
The marks on the back of the neck only show company name but no information on doll. Information seems to be only on the COA that comes with a new doll.
eBay dolls for sale:

You can also look on eBay's sold listings to see that most dolls are selling for under $25 (even $.99) and no way to tell how long the doll was listed for sale before it sold. Dolls are very sold sellers.

Bottom line: value of your doll would probably be less than $25 and may take months/years to sell - if it sells.

An example: The seller was determined to sell this doll no matter the profit:
Doll was originally listed at $39.99; then reduced to $36.99; $27.99; $20.99; $18.99; $15.99.
Doll was listed for 2 1.2 months but finally sold for $15.99 plus shipping.

The other posters are being generous in their values. Dynasty was not a high end doll when new and sadly most are sitting unsold on eBay as low as $8.00.

She is very pretty and would be best sold a little closer to the holidays at an in person setting like a flea market or consignment store. Your town may have a higher demand for dolls than other places so you may fetch more for her. You could always ask them to start her high and take best offer, knowing it may be quite low.

Thanks for posting!

Dynasty Dolls are of plenty these days, so many on the market. With that said these dolls have a asking price of $20 to $50 . Sold dolls are not bringing in that much. Sold dolls on a good day bring in $10 to $20. Maybe selling in a garage/yard sell could bring in a little more with no shipping. Good Luck!

Do you still have the box and all the paperwork for the doll? These types of dolls are mass-produced and people are not really buying them at all. If the doll was never removed from the box and in mint condition you could possible get $15-20 for the doll but this is rare and does not sell so quickly. The doll market is flooded at this time and thousands of dolls sit on eBay and are never sold. There are some that have been listed for over a year and still can't sell.

If you check any of the current sales for dolls you will see the most people are making is between $5-15 for the sales of their dolls. That is the current value of your doll right now. I would suggest that you try to sell the doll at a yard sale or even a swap meet. The child can then see the doll and a lot of times the parents will buy it for them. They do seen to sell a little faster like this.
