Which American Girl Dolls are retired and how much to sell retired AG doll for?
Can you list all the retired American Girl Dolls? We know Samantha and Nellie are, and plan to sell them. How much would you sell Nellie (retired) for on Ebay? How much would you sell Samantha’s outfits for? Thanks so much!
Historicals:
Samantha
Nellie
Kirsten (she was recently announced and is for sale until sold out)
The Girls of the Year (available for sale through American Girl for one year only):
Lindsay
Kailey
Marisol
Jess
Nicki
Mia
At the end of this year, Chrissa (2009 Girl of the Year) and her friends Sonali and Gwen will be retired.
There’s also a whole host of “Just Like You” dolls that have been retired over the years. The list of those (with pictures) can be found at: http://agplaythings.com/MegsGuideAGoT/GT-ID/JLY_ID.html
As far as selling goes…. what shape are they in? Will you sell them with or without their clothes? Dolls with all their clothes and in near-new condition tend to sell for more. Take clear pictures of everything.
With EBay, the trick is when you auction ENDS, and having a low starting bid that drives up competition between bidders.
The best way to sell them on Ebay is to have a low starting bid. I started a retired Samantha outfit (new clothes don’t fit my 1988 dolls) at $4.99 and sold the outfit for $45. I purchased it new for $28. I sold a retired Mia, gently used with her clothes, started at $39.99 and received $110 for her.
Have your auctions end around 7pm PST on a Sunday. All my auctions that end at that time tend to do VERY well. Don’t get too discouraged if you don’t see any bids all week. The bulk of the bidding happens within the last 24 hours, especially the last hour. The last minute is when the competing bidders will be going crazy.
Good luck!!
