best way to sell 45 collectable dolls

Question

Hello,

I have 45 collectable dolls that were passed down to me. I would like to sell them. I have a list of the dolls but not pictures. If I post the list, would that be better than taking a picture of each doll? This way if someone is interested, they could look on the list, send me an email as to the doll they would like a picture and more information on and I would send. Would this be acceptable?

Would that process be acceptable ? Not to me. That's a lot of hoops for a buyer to jump through. I would never buy a doll or anything else on eBay without being able to see a picture of it. I don't think too many people would buy anything on eBay without seeing at least one picture of that Thing. Without knowing what types of dolls you have, you could potentially be sitting on some nice additional income. I understand some designer Barbies are very valuable. Start with listing one or two of those dolls. Take good clear pictures. Close ups of faces and/or hair, whatever makes them collectible. Be sure to show any flaws or damage, such as stained or torn clothes. Best of luck to you !!

You cannot sell from a list.

You will need to sell them as a "group" or as individual dolls. I would not recommend selling them all as a big group.

First you will need to determine if you can ship each doll and how you will ship them. You will need size (dimensions) and weight of the box before you list.

You need to take photos of the dolls and you need full descriptions of the dolls including the condition, any issues and if they include original parts such as clothing and boxes.

That is a big project for that many dolls.

You also need to set up a selling account and consider that you will likely have funds held until the dolls are delivered to the buyers.

You need to add personal information such as a checking account, social security number and even ID such as a drivers license.

You might start researching the dolls to get an idea of value. Use the internet or even search similar dolls on eBay.

Good luck.
