Barbie Doll Values: How Much is Your Barbie Doll Worth?

If they are vintage, you could still sell them on eBay for some quick cash. Too many people collect
these and too many are made each year to make them collectable. eBay prices can be lower than
auction house prices or private sales because you are taking a chance on the honesty of the seller in
judging condition.

Vintage Barbie Doll Values
The first Barbie Doll came out in 1959 and was only sold for a few months, making her the most
valued Barbie. Barbie dolls that have little value individually, such as the Happy Holidays Barbies,
will be easier to sell as a set.

Except for the original first release 1988 Happy Holidays Barbie Doll, this series is not one that has
retained its value.

Of course as any Barbie doll collector can expect, dolls that are in perfect condition inside the
original box in perfect condition will get a higher price. Mint condition originals can sell for
thousands. Since these have gone on the market, they have never risen in value. Broken dolls are
bought as parts to repair other dolls in better condition. She has white irises, arched eyebrows, and
holes in her feet - a feature that's key to identifying whether or not you have an original Barbie or a
reproduction 1959 first Barbie doll. There's usually no predicting which dolls will develop such a fan
base, but when they do, their price goes up as soon as they are sold out.

Tips for Selling Your Collection
High Original Selling Price - The higher priced
collector's dolls do tend to retain their value.
Age - The older the doll, the higher the value. More
valuable Barbies over $100 will probably earn you
more money if you sell them individually. In some
cases, parts of dolls still have value for those that repair Barbie dolls. You want to post the year the
doll came out, its name, and release number. Maybe in 50 years after everyone has given up and
given them to their kids to play with, the Happy Holidays and Holiday Celebration doll prices will go
up.

New in Box (NIB) - A Barbie doll still in its original box and never removed from that box (NRFB Never Removed From Box) can be worth double or more than the same Barbie that's been taken out
of the box and put on display.
Lastly, don't be too quick to throw out pieces of vintage Barbie sets or broken dolls. The right doll
can still be worth money. Research your Barbie doll before posting so that you have accurate and
complete information. Rarity can happen over time as older dolls get played with and ruined, or
because the doll was released in limited numbers. And some collectors will be looking for that lost
and impossible to find tiny plastic pearl earring, hat, or fishing pole to complete a set.
