We are happy to help, you're quite welcome!
Yes, we have a doll specialist on this site; just make sure it's a separate inquiry and not attached to this one as I prefer to let them do the dolls...
We work with lots of auctioneers from relevant and highly qualified auction houses. Your item is in our database of leads and interested auctioneers will reach out to you directly on your email if they can help you sell your item.
If you said "yes" or "maybe" when we asked if your item was for sale auctioneers are now able to contact you. If you said "no" go to your item page and change that to "yes".
Since I have 3 dolls do I need to pay for each or can I combine them?
You can do all three dolls in one inquiry. Just make sure each doll is photographed and you give the heights for each (and know which doll is which height). If any of the dolls are marked, make sure it is obvious which marks go with which doll. The doll appraiser will ask if they still have questions.
Thank you for getting back to me. It's exciting to know what it actually is. I do have other pieces, I will upload pictures soon. Do you also appraise dolls? Do you know where I can sell this piece of furniture?
Thank you
