Can someone please tell me what this doll is worth or give me a way I can find out?
Seymour Mann dolls are mass produced and generally sell at stores like Walmart, Target, K-mart and have very little collectible value. They make thousands of each doll which means different types/sizes are available for very low prices and are very slow sellers when listed on the doll auction sites like eBay and Etsy.
You do not give the name of your doll but since they are generally all low priced the name/size would probably not make very much difference. The true value of your doll would probably run between $8 - $25 but may take a long time to sell.
If you are interested in selling your doll then I would suggest listing it on Craigslist where someone can actually see your doll and no shipping involved.
There are a lot of these dolls listed on eBay and Etsy so if you do not know the name of your doll, you may be able to locate her on one of these sites. Just remember, all of the prices are asking prices and may never sell even if the asking price is $.99.

Here are some completed listings that recently sold on eBay and the prices paid for each doll.

Watch if your item is being sold on E- bay and how much.It will give you an idea what your doll is worth.Listed prices do not matter it is actual sales that matter.Do this for about 2 months.
These dolls are mass-produced and don't have much value, even when new and still in the box. If it's a large one, you might get $50
Reselling dolls are difficult and especially a doll that is mass produced and sold through many local stores. You can try selling your doll on Craig's list or on eBay.
I would price match it on Etsy and eBay but that's a bit hard when they're just for sale and not actually selling or being bid on. Try to look around on the doll for serial numbers and dates, too.
First, you'll need to see if you can figure out the basics of when and by whom the doll was manufactured. Most dolls will have a manufacturer's stamp on them, and a marking indicating the year they were made.Then go on E-Bay to see how much your doll has been sold for ,actual sales only.
I just wanted to know how much this doll is worth. I looked all over the internet and can't find anything. It says her name is Christa. I'm starting to think it may be a fake.
I was gifted these two porcelain dolls from an elderly aunt. They're approx. 6 inches long, 100% porcelain except the hair, and weren't in a box. Sadly she passed before I could get any history. I can't locate anything online and only have the information sealed on their backs. The clothing appears to be crocheted and be the original outfits. The arms and legs are moveable with what feels to be a rubber band or similar item, but limbs themselves aren't bendable. If you can't read the backs in the photo, it states:
THE CONNOISSEUR

* I can't make out the larger black letters, that has the name 'Seymour'
written above.

(Both numbered) 134/7500
Thank you in advance for any information you may have. Bless you,

I just got these today. I am so excited. I know it's crazy I am 55 years of age and these are the first dolls I ever had. I grew up hard and fast , and I was never allowed to have dolls or anything a little girl would dream of ever having. I was at a Goodwill and I stumbled across them.
My finance bought them. Crazy I know but I started to cry. They are so beautiful and I feel so lucky to have found them. I don't know how much they are worth and it matters VERY LITTLE. I just wanted to share my story. Hope you don't mind me sharing.
I have a Seymour Mann porcelain doll in the original box. Both the doll and the box are in pristine condition. She has designed by June Amos Grammer exclusively for (c) Seymour Mann, Inc 1993 and 211/2500 stamped on the back of her neck. There is a certificate of authenticity, about the artist, doll care, and the name Kristy on paperwork that is included.
Can you tell me what she is worth?
I have a vintage porcelain baby doll in christening dress with a pillow from Seymour Mann's Connoisseur Collection. I just want to know if the doll has any cash value.
I wanted to know the value of a Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection doll. The style number is CED 200A/D. I looked everywhere and can't find the exact one. It was bought in 1984.
These dolls are mass-produced and don't bring a high resale value. Unfortunately, people pay a high price for these dolls when they are first purchased. But over time they lose their value.
These are mass-produced dolls worth $25 or less
I have the Seymour Mann doll, Jody. I would like to know what it is worth.
On eBay there is a very large selection of these dolls. The dolls sell between 30 to 200 dollars. Keep in mind this is the asking price of the doll and not what they sell for.
Many of these dolls sit on eBay for long periods of time. Nobody is interested in them. Therefore, many people cancel their listing on the site.
Your best option is to wait until the holidays and see if you can sell it then. More people will buy these types of items the closer it gets to the holidays.
Jody Seymour doll. On E-bay, they are listed for about twenty dollars.
It seems anywhere between $20 and $100
Some Seymour Mann dolls are rather expensive when purchased but lose their value as soon as you walk out of the store. All of their dolls are mass produced which means they are very plentiful and brings the value to a very low figure.
Step 1
Any collectible and especially a doll, is only worth what someone will pay for it. To determine that, you need an active marketplace. The largest marketplace for dolls is eBay. You can watch for your doll on eBay completed sales for a couple of months, so you can see if they are really selling for the asking price or if they are selling at all.
Step 2
Listed or asking prices do not mean very much -- its actual sale prices that count. If you look at older listings just be aware that things change over time, value go up and down.
Step 3
Seymour Mann makes several different "collections" and they may have a "Jody" in every collection so without more information or a photo it is difficult to even pinpoint your doll.
Step 4
These dolls come in all sizes but as a general rule the 20" dolls, especially bride, Victorian and Diana dolls sell for more money.
Step 5
Another consideration is whether the doll is new, in a box, has all paperwork & COA or if it is in used condition will sometimes bring the value up or down.
Step 6
Some of these dolls sell for only $.99 (dolls in boxes with papers) so the value is not easy to calculate. Sometimes with sellers on auction sites it is just a wait and see game and may keep a doll listed for months and months.

I can't find anything about this set, maybe you can help? The are Seymour Mann, Megan and Mike dolls. They are sitting on a bench with gift boxes on their knees.
At least I need a value.
Thank you =)
An easy online search for "porcelain doll values" will produce many answers. Keep in mind that just because a doll may be fancy, old, inherited, etc., it most probably has little value as most are mass produced in the thousands and very often include a fake certification, the rather misleading term limited edition etc., in their names. A doll's condition is extremely important in considering value-the best doll prices are paid for dolls literally never removed from their boxes. You can find prices for some dolls on EBay and try online for further research. This site is a good place to start:

I saw something similar on eBay for $65.
Seymour Mann dolls are mostly mass produced and because of this, the actual value of their dolls is usually very low. This company also made quite a few "sets" of 2 dolls and usually they were 11" dolls. Most of them were either character dolls or Christmas theme dolls.
It appears that your dolls are of the Christmas theme and sometimes in the months of November and December these dolls will bring more money than at other times of the year. Judging from the actual prices paid for sets on eBay and Etsy, I would value your dolls at $40 to 50 dollars.
Dolls do not usually sell quickly on any site and bring very little money if sold to a store. I would recommend listing on Craigslist if you plan to sell. Just remember that good pictures are what sells an item.

I have bride doll in its original box certified January 16 1988. Does it have a value and if so how much?
Seymour Mann are usually very beautiful dolls but there were so many produced that true value is very low.
Auction sites are usually the best place to find the really true value of a doll like this as it shows what people are trying to sell and also what dolls actually sold for.
Here is a listing of Seymour Bride Dolls presently listed on eBay and their asking price - some sellers have the same dolls listed for months and months and may never sell them - others may sell faster but not often. You may find a doll like yours or similar:

Can you tell me how much these dolls are worth?
I found 1 I'd never seen before. It is from the Mann Doll Collectors Guild, the Connoisseur Collection . I don't know the numbers. Can someone take a look please.
What's it's worth?
I have 2 Seymour Mann dolls and a Baby Marie Osmond Picture Day doll. I am trying to find what they are worth.
I found a rare Scarlet O'Hara doll in a white dress and not green. There were only 2500 made. I can't find what she would be sold as because no one has her.
There is no damage at all. The stockings have no rips and the shoes are still there. There are no stains on her. I don't have her certification or box.
I have a Seymour Mann connoisseur collection doll with style number SJ - 951C. It has never been out of the box and is autographed.
I was wondering what the value of the doll might be.
I have two Connoisseur Collection dolls from Seymour Mann. The style numbers are SJ-300 and PS-352. The boxes look like they have a little damage.
The dolls don't look like they have been out of the boxes. They are in great condition. What will be the value of each one?I have the Seymour Mann Signature Series Collection doll, num. 431/1200 Style No:C-38068 DALI-02. It is in the original box, all pieces are accounted for and untouched.
I also have the certificate of authenticity. What might the value of this be?I'm trying to find out information on a doll I purchased. I know she is a Seymour Mann doll and her number is 183/1200.
I want to know is she a character doll or a princess doll? Any info will help I can send picture.Seymour Mann dolls are mass-produced and lose value. They are worth $25 or less
A picture would help or if you go out to eBay you an type in the search bar Seymour Mann doll 1200 and see if she matches any of the current--or if you then click on the completed tab--completed auctions.
If you find a match to her face (I use face not clothing if you don't know if she has the original outfit or not), you can hopefully learn more about her.
You can also do this same search on Etsy or Google Images to learn more about her lineage.
If you are learning to help value her, be use to only use SOLD auctions on eBay -- not active auctions or completed -- click on the sold tab to the left (at least on my laptop) to find these.
This will tell you what people are currently paying for her and you can use that average to help you set a price for her.
Let me know if I can help you search!
It is almost impossible to research a doll without a name and/or a photo. There are presently over 1,800 Seymour Mann dolls listed on eBay - of course these are all sizes and styles.
I have the Celeste doll by Seymour Mann what is she worth? It is an angel doll.
These dolls are mass-produced and generally not worth too much, although they are pretty.
Seymour Mann has been making dolls for many years and there will be between 300 - 3,000 listed on eBay at any given date. Most of these dolls may never sell, even at a very low price.
Dolls are pretty so either enjoy the doll or maybe give it to someone as a nice gift.
Here is a link to dolls recently sold on eBay and the prices someone paid.

I have a Seymore Mann Victorian doll that has no name tag. Would you be able to tell me her name? Also, what is her approximate value and if she is rare? The number on the outside of the box is HH-1100A/D and registration # is 8086567. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
These dolls have different values. The most expensive one I saw was $218 and it was 30 inches. Other dolls went for as little as $10. I did my research on eBay.
Do you have photos? On average, $20 to $150
I have a Seymour's Mann award-winning doll named Tori. I would like to find the value.
The doll is mass produced and easy to acquire. Therefore, these are sold at auction houses starting at $20. Most people end up selling these dolls from $10 to $15 each because there isn't much of a demand for this doll on the market. It really isn't a collectors doll with a high price value.
Talk Seymour Mann dolls are mass produced. Even if they were never taken out of the box they are worth $25 at best.
I purchased a pair of these dolls, appear to be Raggedy Ann and Andy, several years ago for about $70, but dearly love them and would purchase them again if I didn't have them already. I am looking for 2 other Mann dolls, they are Winter & Summer from his Seasons Collection, have not been able to find. I have Fall & SPring, wish to complete my collection.
I'm looking for the value of a Seymour Mann doll, SJ-600. It is in the original box and in good to very good condition. It comes complete with the stand.
Where do I find the number on a Seymour Mann doll that doesn't have a box?
I have a Bernadette doll. What's it worth or can someone tell me more about her.
Can someone tell me about this Seymour Mann Jenny doll? I don't know anything about dolls, for example price and other info.
The no/pa isn't really visible, but it starts with 8237 4, I think.
I have two dolls and need to know their value. One is a Seymour Mann genuine porcelain doll - Crying Kelsey. The other is a Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection doll Style no: PS-508; it is musical.
