Used dolls in Miami typically sell for $7 to $81. Collectable dolls and play dolls are different markets, and original clothing is what separates them.
Selling dolls in Miami
Miami is an international city with a highly mobile population and a hot, humid, salty climate. Boats and water equipment have a deep market, and humidity is the first thing to ask about for anything upholstered or electronic.
International arrivals and departures keep furnished apartments turning over constantly. Hurricane season is a real consideration, and for anything electrical it is fair to ask whether it has been through a storm.
Traffic and the causeways determine how long a collection takes far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser areas is difficult and often paid, so agree a specific spot.
Ask whether the item has been through a storm or a power failure. Humidity, salt and surge are all hard on electronics here, and a seller who has owned it through a season will know.
Handing it over in Miami
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
What dolls are worth
What lifts the price
- Original outfits, shoes and accessories
- Boxed examples with inserts
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
- Check whether the outfit is original to the doll
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 doll full length, standing or held upright against a plain background
- The hair from behind, the hands and feet, and any clothing, box or certificate included
Put in the description
- Maker and line, with the marking you read it from
- 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.
