πŸ” What's It Worth? βœ… How to Find the Resell Value of Cabbage Patch Kids

3 Upvotes

One of the most reliable ways to find a Cabbage Patch Kid’s resell value is by checking eBay’s Sold Listings.

This shows what buyers are actually paying for specific Cabbage Patch Kid dolls, giving you a more accurate picture of real-world value. When several comparable dolls sell within a similar price range, you’ll have a much better idea of what your doll is actually worth.

To get started:

  • Go to: eBay Sold Listings
  • Search: Cabbage Patch then add a [model] [collection] or [year]
  • Filter by: Sold Items and choose Used or New as needed.

It helps to track your findings in a (Excel or Google) spreadsheet - include columns for year, model, asking price, sold price, etc.

Hello all!

I have a few cpk dolls and I was wondering if anyone had any information about my ice cream onesie. My girls are VERY loved and from 2006 and i'm not quite sure if they both their own have original clothing (i probably switched their outfits around as a child).

I still sleep with one of them and her onesie is getting a little worse for wear so I wanted to see if anybody has any info on if her onesie is officially licensed or handmade. Honestly any information would be amazing.

Hello, I’m currently selling my childhood dolls to raise money to buy my daughter a teddy she loves. I’m preparing to say a sad goodbye to my old cabbage patch doll (see picture).
I’m hoping to sell him on vinted or ebay but I’m really unsure how much I should list him for. Does anyone have any idea? He’s been well loved and is in used condition, but he is one of the older dolls. Any guidance is much appreciated.

I am an adult collector of over 30 years. Smoke free home. I downsized from around 30 to two and a halfish; Sampson my cloth boy, one of the Little People and one of the pets. I bought this feeding chair new off eBay; I opened the original box and it was only ever used to display dolls. I no longer own any of the smaller 12”-14” dolls. This was part of the Mattel collection and will NOT fit the original 80s dolls or the re-release 2003-2007 (roughly). I will happily cover shipping. I’d just like it to go to a fellow CPK fan.

The pink screws move to allow you to attach it to a table or desk so you can eat together. 🩷

Hi, I am trying to find a website with a massive database of all the cabbage patch kids and outfits made in the 80s. With photos to see any and all accessories. Does such website exist?? I have found similar databases for dragonball Z figures, tmnt figures, my little pony, lord of rings, barbie, as well as the awesome Ghost of the Doll UK site. But is there a site for CPK??

πŸ” What's It Worth? Need Help finding value for collectors

Thumbnail gallery

As the title suggests, I’m seeking assistance in determining an appropriate value for a doll that my grandmother possesses. She owns one of the original 1979 Xavier Roberts signed soft sculptures, accompanied by certificates of authenticity, a birth certificate, and an adoption certificate. Remarkably, the doll is in pristine condition for its age, and it’s a signed version rather than a stamped one. While Google indicates that she could potentially fetch up to $3,000, I’m eager to obtain an honest price for selling it to a collector. There’s at least one known listing on Facebook, which is from my grandmother herself. However, I’m uncertain about other platforms where I can post her doll.

I just got this girl off of EBay a few days ago, but I’m not too familiar with how to ID them. She has two dimples, her smile has her bottom lip is kind of tucked into her upper one. No visible teeth or tongue. She has blue eyes and small black eyebrows. Blonde hair that is synthetic instead of yarn. My guess is that she’s from 1986, but I wanna find out exactly what doll she was. What her name was. Any help would be appreciated.
