My MIL has 2 very old dolls. One being an original Barbie Doll in the box & the other I don't remember at the time. How do I find out what they are worth & possibly sell them on ebay for her?

research on ebay how much dolls like them are going for and then you can put them up for a similar price

Try going to the Antique Road Show when it's in town.

There are a lot of books on this subject, try your local library or a book store. The books will tell you the value of the dolls, and may also give you more options on where to sell them. I'm not sure if Ebay is the best place, since it seems like most people on there are looking for a bargain, though I'm not sure what the antique market is like on there. You might be better off going to an antique broker, or gallery. I'm pretty sure there are a few in the city.

There's an organization called NADDA (North American Doll Dealers Assoc) but when I go to their link, it's not there. It used to be www.nadda.org

Here's a link to Google's directory of Antique Dolls
Google directory on antique dolls

Or you can tryLa Maison Verte

this person is a doll collector/appraiser. maybe if you can call him/her they can help you find a collector on LI that you can go to in person.
