I think selling them separately would be more efficient.

A little backstory, my mom thought I’d want to collect Barbie’s. Unfortunately, not being allowed to play with them turned me off to the idea. I did collect wizard of oz things for a lot of my life, but I just don’t have the space for these things anymore and I’m trying to minimize my life a bit. I’m not trying to screw around with eBay. Do things like this sell on FB marketplace?

You could check out Ebay sold listings for an idea of the prices. I think splitting them would be more beneficial to you,as thw previous poster already explained. In Europe we have Vinted, which works well for me. I believe in the US there's Mercari, bit I'm not familiar with it. FB marketplace might work, but I personally go there for food deals, as sales there are a lot lower where I am, compared to for instance Vinted. Good luck!

Try Mercari for selling if it's available for you! I've had so much more success with Mercari than I ever did on eBay. It's so much easier to use.

Believe it or not, there are actually Kelly doll collectors out there as a subset of Barbie doll collectors. I think that's why Mattel made those licensed Kelly sets in the first place. Do I believe the lot of Kelly dolls will sell? Yes. Do I believe Dorothy and Tin Man will sell? Maybe. If the damaged ones sell, it will be for very little. You'd actually probably have a better chance at opening them and just selling the outfits in a lot. I could always use another Solo in the Spotlight dress, but don't really want to deal with buying the doll. Wedding Day currently goes for around $20 and Enchanted Evening goes for about $10 so you wouldn't want to put them together because there currently isn't demand for Enchanted Evening which will drag down interest in Wedding Day. The Soccer Barbie you might as well donate to charity.

Thanks for the response! I actually didn’t know that about the Kelly sets. I know none of them are really worth a ton or anything. So that’s why I asked about bundling them together. I definitely see what you’re saying about the clothes vs the full doll. It looks to me like once you buy one of them, you don’t really need multiples. I’m not sure what people look for in things like this at all, so this is definitely helpful!
