Used dolls in Burnaby typically sell for C$9 to C$115 (about $7 to $81). Collectable dolls and play dolls are different markets, and original clothing is what separates them.
Selling dolls in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Handing it over in Burnaby

What dolls are worth
What lifts the price
- Collectable lines with an established following
- Undamaged hair with original styling
What pulls it down
- Cut or restyled hair, which cannot be undone
- Mass-produced play dolls
Working out what yours is worth
- Check whether the outfit is original to the doll
- Photograph the hair and face closely
Getting it ready
- Look for markings on the back of the neck, the head or between the shoulders. This is where the maker and often the year are stamped.
- Clean the face gently with a barely damp cloth. Never use solvent, and never attempt to restyle rooted hair with heat.
Photograph
- The face straight on in daylight, close enough to show paint condition
- The hair from behind, the hands and feet, and any clothing, box or certificate included
Put in the description
- Height in centimetres, and material — vinyl, porcelain, composition or cloth
- Condition of the face paint, hair and joints, described separately
Post with the head and limbs supported — wrap the head separately in tissue, because a vinyl face presses and marks against a hard box edge. Porcelain should be double boxed or collected.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
