I have some porcelain dolls that I want to get rid of, but I have no idea how much they are worth. Google didn't provide much information either.
I have 8 dolls from the Caroline Taylor Collection, 1 doll from the Anastasia Collection (I believe her name is Annie), and I'm not sure what collection the other 4 dolls are from. The boxes for 2 of them say 'collectors choice', 1 says 'collectible porcelain doll', and the last one says 'collectible memories'.
Does anyone know how much these dolls are worth individually?
Look for the same dolls or ones from the same line on Ebay. That can give you an idea of what is realistic. Sometimes there is a big variation.
Several things determine price, how many were made, size, maker brand, is the body jointed, age and is it still in production, condition, is the whole doll porcelain or does it have a stuffed body, is it a popular style, and finally what the market value is...
Many will have marks which can help you determine maker/worth, here is a link on how to do that:

My mom has an extensive collection of porcelain dolls, some from $10 and one is valued at almost $400. The vast majority of them though are in the $20-$34 range, which I think is what the Caroline Taylor collection is.
Ebay has a great porcelain doll guide on buying and selling that will be helpful to you:

I would go to a shop that services/fixes up dolls to get good info on this you may even get an appraisal depending on the type of shop.
I would put them on Ebay individually and see how much they sold for.
Sorry, other than that, I have NO clue.
Definitely look on ebay. Check completed listings because that will give you a better idea than listings that haven't ended yet. You can see whether or not the items sold and for how much. Good luck!
