I know dolls aren't selling for much right now but I would really like to know how much she is worth. I didn't see this doll listed. She is a limited edition Soft Expressions porcelain doll, never removed from the box.
Soft Expressions dolls are made by DanDee and the value of similar dolls will be under $25-$35.
You may or may not find this doll listed for sale or sold (sold price = value) so in a case like that value is usually stated as the sold prices of similar dolls.
Check out eBay's sold listings to see what similar dolls are selling for: Soft Expressions: $3 - $30 - mostly below $20.

Your doll may be new - never removed from box, but it does appear that it may have been re-wrapped and not original cover.
All of these dolls are usually marked as 'Limited Edition' so that is not unique.
This brand doll has usually been sold at stores such as K-Mart so it was never a high value doll but some of these can still be sold for higher prices.
You did not write how tall your doll is, but I found dolls in similar boxes and judging by the arms of the same size. I even found a doll packed just like your doll: www.ebay.com/
So, you have Soft Expressions Collectible Bisque Porcelain Doll 12". Brand DanDee.
I can't make out your photo, but your doll should have a Certificate of Authenticity on her hand.
About the price. It ranges from $10 to $27: www.ebay.com/
You doll is very nice, I think its price is about $25.
I see that she has a round label. I've only met square labels.
Ok, it was not easy, but I found several dolls with round labels www.ebay.com/
This is Christmas Special Edition. I think that your doll is from the same edition, because she has a bow like this doll www.ebay.com/
The price is $25-30.
And here the price at the moment is $ 9.99 (shipping is not included) www.ebay.com/
So I have this DanDee doll in its original box, never taken out. I've looked online and can't seem to find it. Long time ago, I noticed she has no eyes. Just wondering if it's worth anything?
Being a manufacturing thing? Just would love to know more on this doll that my mother gave me about 15 years ago. Thank you.
Your doll's eyes have 'fallen' back in her head but this can usually be fixed.
Join a doll forum and ask them to identify your doll and ask how to fix her eyes.
As to value, most similar dolls (all brands) are valued at less than $25-$35.

Another member may find a doll like yours that has recently sold, if so that price would represent current value.
I am just wondering what these dolls are worth. I got them from my grandmother at one point and have no use for them around here. They are the Collectors Choice by Dandee.
Unfortunately the Dandee dolls were on the low end of the spectrum when new and did not hold their market value in today's resale market.
If she is a small doll (like 15 inches and under) she may sell for $1-$15. If she is taller, $10-25.
There are a glut of dolls out there. Now is the time to sell before Christmas. Be sure to wrap her very carefully if you are shipping because she is so fragile that she can easily be damaged in shipping. Use tons of bubble wrap and double box.
This will impact the shipping so be sure to put the correct box weight and dimensions so you don't lose money.
Post back how your sale goes!
This type porcelain doll was mass produced from 1980's to 2000.
Porcelain dolls were made by 100's of companies and artists during their heyday when people bought them to put away with the idea they would gain in value, sadly, that did not happen.
There are over 5,000 Dandee Collector's Choice dolls presently listed on eBay for sale. There are many variations but the market research states that not even 10% of the dolls listed for sale will ever sell.

Hopefully, you have someone who might appreciate these dolls as they do represent a part of our past.
Could you tell me the value of this doll?
Thanks.
So many brands of dolls have more or less been 'dumped' on numerous online sites that not very many will be of value higher than $25 and most will be less. Not only is the value low but sales are very slow.
Your doll is very pretty and may be a little unusual but her value will still be less than $25.
If you wish to sell her it would be better to list her on sites other than eBay or Etsy. Maybe try out Facebook Marketplace or any of the other sites you see advertised.
The value of dolls has declined so much in the past few years it makes it so hard to sell one of these dolls and earn much off the dolls. If you check selling prices people are lucky to earn $5 for the dolls right now. The market is bad for dolls and it is best to hold on to the doll and try to sell it when the market improves or list this in your local area and see if you can sell it for a bit more.
I have a Collector's Choice Series doll by Dandee. I would like help in finding its value.
I have a Collector's Choice series doll by Dandee and was wondering what it's value is, if anything. I've had it since I was a kid.
My daughter was given this doll. We were told that her grandparents had it about 30 to 50 years. I can't find this doll online anywhere. I just wanna make sure if it's valuable or not.
If it is I'm putting it up; if it's not I'll just let her play with it. It is a DanDee doll Brazil classic series special edition.
It is a mass-produced doll that is worth $10-$25. Let her enjoy it.
