how do i find the value of older barbie dolls?

Answer 1

If you do a search on Barbie there is an official site...can't remember the name sorry. There's heaps of differant stuff in it. I remember them saying about a book that will give you the prices. I collect them myself, but I have never been able to find out exact values. I guess it depends on how much a person who was interested would want to pay

Answer 2

Search the completed ebay listings, it's the best value guide there is right now. Be sure that you search for Barbies like the ones you have by comparing the marks...1966 doesn't mean the doll was made in 1966, so look for the place of manufacturer, Japan is the oldest and it's what most collectors are looking for. Remember that condition is very important and so is original clothing in determining value.

Answer 3

The best way to find out the real value of any Barbie doll is to look on ebay for that exact doll and see what people have been bidding for her in past and current auctions.

Usually this is the best way to judge value since plenty of Barbies that are blue book priced for quite alot or a fair amount go for very very small prices on eBay due to general over production of Barbie, especially pink box dolls and a lack of real collector demand for the dolls that don't particularly stand out.

Make sure you take into account all variable details of the doll including hair color, vividness and quality of face paint and packaging. :)

Answer 4

just do a price value on old barbies or price guide then that will give you listings on books with the price values of older barbies.
