If you dolls have been played with, they must be advertised as such VERY CLEARLY or you will have a very upset buyer.

Second, most buyers who collect want the box and the paperwork and any accessories that came with the dolls. Those people are holding on to and often have the cooberating information to verify they have something authentic.there was a tad for fraud around these in the early days also.so just be careful. It is confusing.but there are very, very few of the actual signed dolls in the "wild" any more. There are may misinformed sellers out there trying to garner big bucks for a "signed" CPK when in reality, they have a stamped signature. But the signature is a stamp, not done with a marker like he did the Little People dolls. Unless you have one of the original "Little People" dolls-which were the prototypes so to speak for the CPK, it is my understanding that all of the CPK "mass produced" dolls have the Xavier Roberts signature on the tush. I can tell you a few things.first, be very wary of advertising "signed" dolls. If your photos were clearer and could get an accurate view of who you have and their condition, I could value one out for you to give you an example. There are some that are still quite valuable and some that are selling for as low as 99 cents. Sometimes you have to search by color of hair and color of outfit. It can be a challenge to search eBay sometimes, but don't give up. You will need to match your CPK to the sold item and that tells you today's current market value.īe sure to compare apples to apples-so if you have one that is pristine in the box, do not compare the value to one in played with condition. The best way to determine value is to research each doll on eBay using the sold section.

Otherwise, you are going to have a full time job selling these that may last a year or so and not give you a really good return on your investment of time. Wishing you all the best with your sale!! I think you will feel much better about things if you leave it to a pro!! If you need help understand the contract when you get one with an company, post back and I can help you!! You can help have a successful sale and less left for the clean out if you work with the estate sale company to promote the sale IN ADDITION to how they promote it.įor example, you can post about the sale on your social media, you can join Facebook groups that allow self promotion and promote the sale there, etc. If they make a little more, they are happy, but most barely make back the money needed to GET TO that $3,000.

So yes, they make up the balance of their money if they sell the items off on their ownĪn example of the math is a clean out costs the company $3,000 for everything (see above)-they charge you $1,500-take everything left and hope to make the other $1,500 to make the $3,000 cost back at the end. They charge you a fee to do this because they have to pay all of this upfront (people, supplies, trucks, dumpsters, etc.)

You need to assesss if there are other things of your grandmothers you need to sell too and do this as one LARGE estate sale-probably best over 2 days or if you truly have a semi worth of dolls-2 different weekends or 4 days.Įstate sales are not just for people who have died.people who are living and moving or downsizing have estate sales also.really the biggest differnece betwen and estate sale and a yard sale is that an estate sale is usually INSIDE someone's house or a hall where a person's belongings have been moved and are being sold off vs a yard sale which is held OUTSIDE or in a garage and is just a small selection of person's stuff. First, they can probably get it all done in a month or less (depending on their schedule and how they work their sales) and second, it will get this off your plate and you will still get some money back for the items.

The above is why I suggest having a professional estate sale person hold a sale for you and sell them. YES it is A LOT of work-I know because I used to do this for a living, now I am just a hobby seller then if the buyer isn't happy, they have to process a return
