Selling dolls in Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat sits on natural gas reserves substantial enough that it long ran its own utility, and it is the sunniest city in the country. The clay deposits here supported a pottery and brick industry for generations, and the surrounding country is dry prairie and ranch land.
Cheap energy has historically meant large houses and full garages here, so tools and outdoor equipment turn over steadily. An ageing population means downsizing is the other consistent source.
The city is small and driving is easy, with the river valley the main geographic feature to plan around. Parking is not a constraint anywhere in town.
This is the sunniest city in the country, and sun is what kills things here. Check plastics, upholstery and rubber on anything that lived outdoors, and expect fading even on fairly new items.
Handing it over in Medicine Hat
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

What dolls are worth
What lifts the price
- Original outfits, shoes and accessories
- Undamaged hair with original styling
What pulls it down
- Cut or restyled hair, which cannot be undone
- 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.
- 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 maker’s mark on the neck or back, photographed legibly
Put in the description
- Height in centimetres, and material — vinyl, porcelain, composition or cloth
- Whether original clothing, shoes, stand, box or certificate are included
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.
