Comment on What Silkstone Barbies are the most rare? by judyrae41

The older Silkstones such as Fashion Designer & Fashion Editor tend to be a bit harder to find & the prices can vary. The Platinum Label Silkstones such as the FAO Redhead Joyeaux, Dahlia & Violette (dealer exclusives) are also harder to find, but tend to cost more than $100.00. Your best bet is to search on ebay for Silkstone Barbies & see what is there that might be in your price range. Be aware, however, that many of the earlier Silkstone dolls are developing "green ear" as a result of the metal earrings that Mattel uses. I have nearly all of the Silkstones & several them have green staining on their ears, even after I took out their earrings (which is not one of the easier projects I have taken on) in nearly 10 years of doll collecting.

They should have showed the G.I. Joe stuff which is in the case to the right of the Barbie’s.They don’t advertise, really,but this is the same store where Madonna’s character bought the jacket in Desperately Seeking Susan.

Know they did not …
Know they did not loose all of there value, as long as they are in good condition and all the accessories are there. If you have the box it adds to the value.

Comment on How much does removing a collectible barbie from the box reduce the sale price? by dober4me

I would hazard the guess of around $225.00. The highest I'd go is $200. I would be very cautious, especially right now in buying from a person brand new to eBay. I know I'm very cynical, but eBay's steady long time sellers are very unhappy and not doing their usual amount of listing. There have been allot of people appearing out of the blue as 'new' sellers.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

It depends on the buyer.

It depends on the age of the box and the doll.

I'm feeling bad because I bought a nice Somers & Field doll NRFB and it was mailed insured without enough packing all around it to protect it from the post office, so the shipping box was gashed and made a puncture/slash about 5" long in the doll box.

Now, if I take it to the post office to collect insurance, I am afraid I will have to surrender the entire doll in order to collect on it, as "the value of a box on a doll never removed from the box" is not something that most people consider even discussing.

Generally, a "slightly damaged box" is just that, usually so slightly damaged that it is unnoticeable; most of us list items with possible damage points noted just in case, and they sound much worse than they really are.

If this is one of the original 1959-1960 dolls with box, damage means nothing.

If it's later than 1975, the price is pretty steep in or out of box.
Again, it depends on the doll. You can contact me at eBay and show me the item there; my id. is the same.
