I'm an antique doll collector/dealer and am amazed at times how folks value some raggedy old doll so little... Some are real treasures! I once appraised a huge collection in a tiny farmhouse. The old couple had bought and sold at flea markets for many years. There were dolls under the beds, under the dressers, under the stairs... every time I would think that was all, they would take me to another room that appeared to be almost empty of dolls... then they'd start pulling them out. THEN, there was a basement that I hadn't known about! It took 3 days to dig out all of those dolls, and there were many, many wonderful antique dolls - plus just as many dolls that were antique but had been made carelessly and by the thousands..these had minimal value....
