thanks, Natasha.
Despite these being "limited edition," there are quite a few Knightsbridge Collection dolls on the market, leading to a pretty modest value.
Is there any local places that I could be able to take the dolls in person? If I’m willing to sell to have them appraised due to not having a ton of money to have each doll appraised on here?
Most auction houses are able to provide appraisals free of charge - its a business-getting service for them in the hope of finding things to sell. Ideally, there is one near you that sells dolls and toys as it is a somewhat specialized category. Most dolls that are from the late 20th Century are, frankly, pretty modest in value; they might take a group of them and sell them all together.
I hope this helps - feel free to ask more questions as they occur.
Yes! That’s great to know. Are you able to send me the name of the place please?
You might try Hostetter Auctions in Pittsburgh, or Dargate Auctions in McKees Rocks.
Thank you so much!
It’s at least a foot tall maybe a little taller. If you need an exact measurement I can do so when I get home.
