  2. idk alot

  3. Condition is a major factor and the outfit. Then you have to know if its a bubble cut, pony tail, then you deal with the color of the hair that has a lot to do with the value as well. In 1960 they made 11 versions, 1961 6 new versions and 1962 they introduced 4 new Barbies. You may need a book for the detailing of the different versions before you look electronically. Plus make sure you are correct with the year they used the same body for a good many years so it may say 1962 and be a 1964 or later.

  4. Go to ebay and see how much barbies of similar condition and year are going for.

  5. The worth of a Barbie depends on  a lot of different factors.  Your best bet is to check ebay for auctions of vintage Barbie dolls to see what dolls similar to yours go for. If you have a doll dealer in your area, they may be able to help you determine which doll you have & what her potential value is.

    A few of the factors that a potential buyer will look for are:

    Condition of doll, hair, no chewed fingers or toes, is the lipstick & nail polish still intact?

    Does she have green ears? Many vintage dolls have green staining on their ears & faces due to the metal earrings reacting negatively with the vinyl heads.

    Does she have her original wrist tag, swimsuit, stand, shoes?

    What are the markings on the back of her head & on her butt?

    Do the head & body belong together?  Vintage dolls have easily removed heads & a lot of kids swapped heads & bodies (I know that my sister & I did). As a result, a lot of heads are on the wrong bodies.

    Has she been retouched? I have a 1962 Bubblecut Barbie that I had the lips restored on. She is in mint condition, but should I sell her, she will bring a bit less because of the retouched lips. A lot of vintage collectors want the doll to be all original, even if the lip & nail polish has faded.

    These are just a few of the things to consider when selling a doll. When all is said & done, however, keep in mind that most dolls are only worth what someone will pay for them at that moment, preferably with cash.

    Edited to add,  if you are looking for a definite value, you are going to have to do some research. We have already given you the basic information, now it is up to you. The values of dolls & toys are all over the map. You say that the doll's body is not perfect (scratches will detract from the value). she doesn't have any original clothing, so that also lessens the value.

  6. Since my dad sells stuff on ebay he said it would be worth alot! Even better if it was still sealed. I dont know how much but 50 something might answer your question! also like other people have said check ebay they are right maybe someone else is already selling one and see what there price is! I really do hope i helped!
