Barbie Holiday

Barbie Holiday

Where is a website that can tell me the value of barbie dolls?

I have 11 holiday barbie dolls, 4 around the world barbies dolls, and 2 other collector barbies dolls. And i want to know the value of them does anyone know websites that can tell me the value of them?

This question is asked a lot, so here is a recycled answer of mine:

Holiday dolls are not hard to find even if they go back more than a decade, and many in mint condition are sold far less than what they were originally worth (Amazon is a marvelous place to find old, but perfect dolls for less than $20). You have to consider first and foremost her condition, production year, how many were produced, how many are still circulating, etc.

A lot of people tend to think that just because a doll is a few years old, its more valuable. This is only slightly true. Their value as of now isn't that different than what you paid for them, it could be lower or slightly higher, depending on their overall condition (box included), tier label, and availability.

A label is assigned to collector dolls that tells the buyer how many are available, which indicates their value. The higher the label, the more they are worth and the less available they are, you can find it on the front (bottom) and back of every collector edition box:
Platinum Label -- 1,000 worldwide
Gold Label -- 25,000 worldwide
Silver Label -- 50,000 worldwide
Black Label -- "Designed for the adult collector" dolls (I assume they're not produced in limited quantities because it doesn't say so anywhere and they usually cost about the same as Pink Label dolls)
Pink Label -- Unlimited availability, considered "beginner" collector dolls, available wherever dolls are sold.
Pink and Black label dolls usually cost about the same, don't expect to find Platinum, Gold, (sometimes) Silver Label dolls in department stores, these are sold online or in selected retailers.

Barbie dolls that were produced from 1959 to 1971 are considered vintage, while dolls produced from 1972 to the present are considered modern.

To get a feel for what your dolls are worth, refer to the information above and do a little research. Whenever I'm not sure about what a good price to pay for a collector Barbie doll is, I go on Amazon and look up the doll on there, I usually take the lower prices (some people try to sell regular Barbie dolls from a few years ago ridiculously high, nobody buys them) and decide what my price range is from there, so that way I won't overpay for something that isn't worth the extra cash, even if its a decade or two old.
Considering your dolls only ran for roughly $20 each, are Pink Label editions, and are only a few years old, the most a serious collector would probably pay for them would be about $30, MAYBE up to $35-$40 and no more than that, of course, that's only assuming your dolls and their (unopened) boxes are in pristine condition. A person who doesn't know or a newbie Collector would probably pay a lot, but more "seasoned" collectors do research, so the best you can do is settle for little profit or just hang on to your dolls.
