Can you tell me anything about this doll found in a family member's house that I'm cleaning out? I don't know anything about it. I just need to know how much she's worth?
She's cute. With the box, if she is the 29 inch doll, they sell for between 5 and 25 dollars. Yes. That is a huge range, but that is because there are so many variables. The high end is pristine in the box with all original paperwork and packaging. Values drop it there is no box, no paperwork, any smells, or flaws.
The doll market is glutted and that means high supply and low demand, which drives prices down. Thanks for sharing!
She is cute but as Pghgirl stated; dolls in general, are very low value and many inexperienced sellers actually lose money when selling their dolls.
This doll is a Collector's Choice by Dan Dee and it would take a lot of research (or luck) to find this exact doll but you can see what people are paying for similar dolls - no box and COA also reduces the value.
Here is a link to eBay's sold listings so you can see what people are actually paying for similar dolls.

Unfortunatelly dolls like this are mass produced and do not bring in a high resale value especially now. You might hold on to the doll a bit to see if the market changes. If you are holding a yard sale to get rid of other items in the home you can put this out in the sale items.
Is anyone able to provide a value for these dolls please?
First doll is vintage Collectors Choice by DanDee Porcelain Doll. It should have a stamp on the back of the neck like here: images.bonanzastatic.com/
Please check if other dolls have stamps.
Please, when publishing a post with a question, add photos of all distinctive details found on your thing: labels, certificates, stamps, etc.
Two of your dolls are for sure Dan Dee Collector's Choice dolls and the third looks to be the same.
All of theses dolls were mass produced and there are over 600 of DanDee Collector's Choice dolls listed for sale on eBay alone.
I have a Collector's Choice Bisque Porcelain Doll, her name is Kiara. She's a musical doll that plays 'Frere Jacques'.
She also has a Certificate of Authenticity. I can't find anything about this doll.You may not be able to find this exact doll but as a general rule most of these dolls were mass produced and very few sell for over $25-$35.
Also, the market is flooded with dolls of all brands, styles, sizes which usually means it may take months/years for any particular doll to sell and a very high percentage never sell.
Usually the larger dolls, 18-35", will sell for a little more money but they are also difficult to ship. Many dolls arrive broken and money may have to be refunded.

I found a doll with the same label as your doll Gift Gallery Bisque Porcelain Wind-up Animated Musical Doll "Geensleeves" KMART www.ebay.co.uk/
The price of two COLLECTORS CHOICE Musical Sitting PORCELAIN DOLLS W/ COA MACKENZIE & TIFFANY with the same label as yours is $29.99 www.ebay.com/
So, the price of your doll is about $12-17.
I have porcelain doll and am just curious as to its value.
It is sad to see dolls like this valued so low but there are so many similar dolls listed for sale - eBay, Etsy, etc. - that selling prices are usually lower than $25 - in fact; $25 would be considered a 'high' price.
There are presently over 1,900 Collector's Choice dolls listed for sale on eBay. You can check the dolls if you wish to find your particular doll but it will be difficult. You can look on the left side of eBay listings and check the items that match your doll (size etc) and narrow the search. Just remember that asking prices have little to do with value as these are just the price the seller wold like to receive for their items.

Only sold prices will provide current value and that does not mean a lot where dolls are concerned and also we have no way to tell how long a doll has been listed before it sold (months/years?).

This is a doll that was given to me years ago by a friend. It is a Collector's Choice by Dandee doll and I can't find it online with any of my searches. It has a slight chip of paint on the base but is otherwise in good condition.
She has not got a label or box with her. She has blonde curly hair, blue eyes, blue velvety dress and zebra print coat, bag and accessories. How much would this doll be worth if I did sell it? Thanks.It is sad but dolls are just not on very many people's list of 'wanted items' anymore - not even very many young girls - most are into cell phones and electronics.
There are presently over 700 Collector's Choice by DanDee dolls listed for sale on eBay and the market estimate states that less than 10% will sell even in this high season market.
Almost all brands/sizes/styles of dolls that sell will sell for less than $25 and some of these dolls could have been listed for sale for over a year (or even more than a year). This is an 'average' as some may sell for a little more but most will sell for less and shipping is a real hazard with these fragile dolls.
The larger 30 - 48 inch dolls will usually sell for a little higher price but shipping will be high also.
You can look at the previously sold listings on eBay and get an idea of what people are paying for similar dolls. I did not see a 'sold' doll like yours but there is one listed for sale for $20 plus $20 shipping on eBay that you might want to place a watch to see if it sells.

Here is the link to previously sold dolls on eBay:
www.ebay.com/
Only rare collectibles and antique dolls will sell for higher money.
You can see the prices that sellers are hoping to receive for similar dolls that seem to be in excellent condition and the sellers will just be very lucky if their dolls sell anytime soon.
Asking $15

This one sold for $9.95

I have had this doll since I was a kid. I don't need it. I want to sell it, but I can't find any type on the market that looks like her. Does anybody know?
These dolls range in value from $10 to $189 on eBay. Yours is in good condition. I would start at $150. You can always lower the price.
I would like to know the value of this Collector's Choice doll (limited edition).
This is another mass-produced doll that decreases in value. They are usually in the $10-20 range.
Is your sweet gal 16 inches tall?
If so and she matches this one:
www.ebay.com/
She (sadly) has been sitting on eBay unsold at the $32 dollar price where the seller pays shipping, so the profit would be in the low $20s IF it sold. Sold price gives you value, so at the moment she has no value (since none have sold).
You may want to watch to see if the seller relists and watch it, then when it sells you will know how much it is valued in today's market.
I am surprised by this one as the dolls of color typically did hold their value over the years. I am thinking this brand just made too many of this series and that drove down the resale price.
I am so sorry I do not have better news for you. May I suggest that you find a child who will love her and give the doll to the child? This is the best value for dolls when they make a child happy!!
Thanks for sharing her!
I have all 8 of the dolls in the Spooky Hollow collection. How much are they worth?
By Misty
You should check eBay and Google. Probably would have sold better a few weeks ago - before Halloween.
I'll offer you $5.00-$10.00 a piece. They would be for my almost 6 yea r old daughter's collection! Her birthday is in May, and she would love these! Her dolls are her pride and joy!
How much is this doll I have worth? It has never been opened and I can't find a single thing or even the doll itself anywhere.
Help?
Can you tell me what this doll is worth?
I want to know how much this bisque porcelain doll is worth.
I cannot seem to find this particular doll on eBay or anywhere to find out its value. She is a Collector's Choice doll with "Smile" written on her shirt.
I found this Collector's Choice porcelain doll in a friend's basement. Is it worth anything or just another doll no one cares about? I couldn't find a name for the doll.
The box is old and dusty, but the doll is original and had not been taken out of box. I am thinking about putting it on eBay.I was wondering how much my doll is worth. It is a wind up doll and also sings the Annie song "Tomorrow".
My grandmother has a porcelain doll that I can't find online anywhere. It has never been opened and is in excellent condition. She is wondering how much it is worth.
It is a Collector's Choice genuine fine porcelain doll. It was hand crafted by Lee Capozzi.Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
These are mass-produced dolls that decrease in value over the years. You will get $25 or less if you sell.
I will like to know the value of this doll?
These are mass-produced dolls with a value of $25 or less.
She is sweet but 9 out of 10 of the Collector Choice dolls have not held their value. Most of this brand are unsold on eBay for as low as 99 cents.
If you want to know the exact value, I always recommend searching eBay every week or so and look for an exact match to her in the SOLD section. That will give you the actual current market value.
I always tell people with dolls like this that have not held their value for money, that they have held their value in that a child who never had a doll, who was given this doll, could love it and enjoy it. This is the giving season, perhaps you know a child who would fall in love with her and actually play with and enjoy her!
That would give her all the value in the world! Thanks for sharing her!
