Need Help Selling Barbie Collection

[maad_8942]

I inherited a pretty extensive Barbie collection and sadly do not have the space for it. I would rather sell them to someone who will appreciate them. I am wondering what are the best avenues to sell Barbies and if it might be better to put them into small groups vs individually vs sell the whole lot. I also have no idea what to expect for them.

Any advice would be appreciated! I'm really at a loss where to start. Would love to find someone locally in KY, but not sure how likely that will be.

List them on ebay if you can do that.   Maybe peruse sold listings here to get an idea of what they sell for and perhaps place ad in your local paper for local sales.   If you knew someone who could list them for you (and take  a percent) that may help you too.   These dolls, in my opinion, do not sell well.  No big bucks here.

Did you ever end up selling your barbies? I'm trying to sale a collection of mine and was wondering if you had contact info for anyone that may have bought yours?

We ended up selling most of them in a garage sale for very cheap. Just wanted to get them to someone that may use them and out of our garage! We have a couple more we may donate to a Children's Hospital or church.

I live in Ky. Do you still have any of the dolls? If so, which ones? Thanks.
