How can you find out the value of something? I have some dolls I want to auction on ebay and need to know....

Question

what they are worth...any suggestions?

Answer 1

Check the 'completed auctions' checkbox on ebay and search for the dolls. It will show you what price they sold for in the past several months.

Answer 2

When I want to auction something on ebay, I search for the exact item or a similiar one on ebay to see what the going rate is for the item. Usually an item will say "Buy it Now" next to it. That will help determine what your item is worth. I also watch the items in question that are being auctioned and wait until the auction is over to see what the item went for. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

check your local pennysavers in the back there are these estate guys who look to buy up people stuff cheap they then sell the items themselves on ebay or another site. Let them look at the dolls tell you what they are interested in and what they are offering
often they will offer you half of the true value. Or contact an antique person to come and apraise your goods but they usually charge you a pretty penny.

Answer 4

You can either go to the library or a bookstore and check out the doll collecting books or the collectible books that will tell you anything you need to know about the doll. Below is a link to a site that may be able to assist you.

Answer 5

If you are sure the dolls are worth something, than you can hire a proffesional appraiser, who will look them over and determine how much they are worth; they should also be able to give you documentation on how much they appraised them for. It's always good to check, and I bet you can find an appraiser in a phone directory in your area (via the World Wide Web or a local phone book).

Answer 6

with original items, its tough to know exactly what it will go for. but to get a rough price range, you can do a quick search for items about to end of your item. Or search past closed items of the item.
