Where to Sell a 1962 Midge Barbie Doll?

I have a 1962 Midge Barbie and two cases full of clothes and accessories even Ken clothes and his accessories, but not the Ken doll. Some of the clothes are worn and some are in excellent shape for their age. Where could I sell this wonderful collection?

I sold almost all of my Barbie collection on eBay. When researching the starting value there are two schools of thought.

1. Set a 30 day, fixed price, best offer auction. To get your fixed starting price, research similar sold lots. Do not use active auctions. Sold tells you what people are willing to pay. Box the items and weigh it so your eBay shipping price is accurate. If you can fit in a USPS one price box even better, as it is often the best shipping value. In this method if someone offers less you can reject or counter offer. This is my new favorite way to sell. You should get 50 free listings a month. You still pay eBay final value and PayPal fees.

2. If you have rare items, you can list as a 7 day auction starting low and watching it increase. Be sure to list the rare items in the headline. Here there is always a risk of the supplies being high and demand low and it not fetching what you want to earn. You could put a reserve on it with the high amount but your fees at the end are higher than a regular 7 day or a 30 day fixed price/best offer auction. This can be a fun way to go if you have no ending value expectations and are happy with any ending bid. The definition of low to start is as low as 1 cent or 99 cents, but you can start at your goal amount or anywhere in between. If you go with a higher number you risk people waiting to the very end to bid.

Happy eBaying! Hope you do well with the doll lot!!!

I'd actually go to Etsy. eBay has a large audience and chaRge and craigslist tend to have not-so-honest people you have to meet with.

Ebay will reach a large audience, but you will have to pay 10%. You might want to put an ad in Craigslist in your area first.
