How can I find antique dealers?

Question

my mom has antique barbies and dolls that she would like to sell. hw can I find antique dealers in Massachusetts, and how can you make sure they give you what its worth?

Answer 1

You need a doll collector, not an antique dealer.  Your mom's Barbies are not antiques.

Look on ebay for comparable dolls and see what they are selling for.

Check Barbie.com.  Maybe there is some info there.

And see if there are any barbie collector groups on line.  They might be able to help to.

Good luck.  

Answer 2

check with the local flea markets in your area they can point you in the right direction and they have lots of books that you can look up the prices of dolls, and all sorts of antiques. hope this will help.

Answer 3

A dealer will take about half of what their selling price is. Check ebay using advanced search feature to find closed auctions. Depending on many factors, they might actually be worth very little..but it is always worth it to check.
