DETERMINING DOLL VALUE: When a doll is sold out or retired, the original retail price immediately doubles. If it happens to be a very sought after doll it appreciates even more. When considering to buy or not, realize that American produced artist dolls are exceedingly small in quantity compared to dolls produced outside of the United States. Therefore in the years to come the American produced dolls will become more valuable and collectable due to such limited quantities. Looking for doll values?
