if you have several of them, and they're from the 1960's or earlier, I recommend you try to buy an apprasial book for barbies. try to gather together all the accessories / boxes if you have them, and tidy them up. they could be worth a lot (over $100 each to several hundred) if they are complete (original outfit, hair not messed up... box adds more $$)

My mom is somewhat of a collector and this is what she uses as well. Also check your local library or bookstore there are books as well

yes they are holiday barbies that are in the org boxs and never opened. I think i want to sell them b/c it is taken up so much room.
thanks

Make sure to look through the completed items rather than only what's up for sale.

Good luck!
