Without a picture it is hard to match exactly...as I don't see one on eBay that matches the name Odine, nor do I see matches for the lot number.

Sadly dolls have not held there value and if you generally look at eBay sold auctions for this line of dolls, they are averaging $4-$7 each sold prices. There are a few rarer ones getting in the $20s, but most are left on the table, unsold.

I know that is not what you wanted to hear. The doll market created an artificial market in the 1980s and 1990s with limited editions (but they thousands of each doll...yours is one of 3,500) and certificates of authenticity...which today mean little.

It makes me quite angry that this all happened..especially since I was selling these lovelies in a large retail store when this all started and I bought into the hype of these will be worth thousands some day...NOT.

I suggest if you want to find AN EXACT value for yours, check back to eBay weekly and match the face of yours to the face of one that SOLD (NOT an active auction, but a sold one) and that will tell you today's actual market value.

I tell people to hold on to them as now everyone is ditching their dolls and some day there may be a real market for them if people had a sentimental attachment to it and in 15-20 years want it back...then they will be rare because now everyone is getting rid of them.

Enjoy her if you have the space and want to bank on a long off future value OR give her to a child who will enjoy her, donate it to a hospital or senior center or nursing home where someone will enjoy her!

Sorry not to have better news :(
