Original American Girl Dolls
Worth of Samantha doll produced before Mattel acquired American girl doll
Can someone please explain why American Girl Dolls are so f***ing expensive?
It’s the brand, experience, and the stories. I’ve taken my daughter to the AG store in NYC for lunch and she loved it. (Disclaimer: she’s 5 and still on the Bitty Babies and Wellie Wishers, but she’s eying a bigger one. Maybe for her birthday next year.) I don’t think it’s outrageous for a gift for a larger birthday or holiday, but that obviously varies by family.

I sold my 1999 Samantha and her outfits last year for $715. 1999 is a first edition doll. If you have everything she came with including the box they go for $1000. I had my doll posted on Etsy for 90 minutes before she sold. I should have asked for even more for her.
Edit. Sorry! I mixed up my dates! My doll was a first edition from the late 80’s. That’s why she fetched a great price. But check your doll’s clothes tags for dates. The dolls from the pleasant company have resale value.

Factsheet
I have some of the original American Girl Dolls such as Samantha, Molly, Addy, Felicity, Josefina and Kristen. All still with the box, some accessories and books, and they are in pretty good shape. What, or where, is the best place to sell them? Is it worth it?
I have a Samantha doll from before 1998 and was wondering her worth. She still has all accessories and is in relatively good shape. No scratches and her hair is just a little bit frizzy.
