Values vary wildly for many different reasons including the condition of the doll, any original accessories included, the cycles of the market. Value range does not include values for rare versions of dolls or doll clothes.   Excellent: This is based on dolls that have no missing fingers/toes, no swingy arms/legs and have excellent face paint or small minor rubs, no darkened face, no missing hair.  Very few Ponytails have the original top and bottom bands because the rubber bands disintegrate, so a professional restyle is possible and common. Average: This is based on dolls that have no major damage. Barbie may be missing the original hair bands and be out of the original style and she may even have some thinning on one or two inconspicuous hair plugs, but there are no haircuts or large amounts of hair missing. There may be rubs on the lips, eyebrows or eye ridges, but the doll is not missing significant amounts or all lip or eyebrow paint. The arms and legs aren't swingy or don't fall out of the sockets. There is no major damage such as nose nips or neck splits or significant green ear. For additional photos or information, please inquire with seller.
