How to Buy or Sell — Dolls

Dolls are easy to sell, but hard to price. Rare old French and German dolls from the nineteenth century bring thousands of dollars and should be sold to a top doll dealer or through an auction gallery. Several galleries have sales devoted just to dolls. The major collectors, with the most money and the best dolls, go to these auctions and pay high prices. Some sales even include lots of doll bodies, legs, arms, and eyes from old dolls, which are valued for repairs. We have seen a headless body sell for over $100.
