Used dolls in Ajax typically sell for C$9 to C$115 (about $7 to $81). Dolls split into two completely different markets — play dolls sold cheaply in bundles, and collector dolls where the maker’s mark on the back of the neck sets the price.
Selling dolls in Ajax
Ajax was built during the Second World War around a munitions plant and named after a warship, which is why its street names run to naval history. It is now a lakeshore commuter town with a diverse and relatively young population and a long waterfront trail.
Young families dominate here, so children’s equipment moves fast and repeatedly as it is outgrown. Commuter households also relocate for work more often than settled suburbs do.
The commuter rail station and the waterfront are the easy meeting points. Driving is straightforward everywhere in town and parking is rarely a problem outside the summer waterfront peak.
Ask whether the item has been near the lake air over a winter. Salt from winter road treatment plus lake damp is hard on metal fittings, and it works from the underside where nobody photographs.
Handing it over in Ajax
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What dolls are worth
What lifts the price
- Collectable lines with an established following
- Undamaged hair with original styling
What pulls it down
- Missing original clothing and shoes
- Pen and marker marks on vinyl
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify the line, character and year
- 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.
- Check the limbs for tightness and the hair for cutting, which permanently reduces a collector doll’s value.
Photograph
- The maker’s mark on the neck or back, photographed legibly
- The hair from behind, the hands and feet, and any clothing, box or certificate included
Put in the description
- Whether original clothing, shoes, stand, box or certificate are included
- Condition of the face paint, hair and joints, described separately
Collector dolls sell year-round to a specialist audience. Play dolls and bundles are seasonal and do best in the run-up to Christmas, when parents are buying in quantity.
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.
