Re: Selling Silkstone Barbie from 2000

Your best bet is eBay, of course.  It is the safest way to do transactions.

eBay walks you through most of the steps, but PLEASE do a search for each of your 
dolls to
get an idea of how much you should be asking for "pricewise," and get an idea of what
others charge for shipping.

Be sure to *study* some other auction offers to be sure of what data you need to 
include
in your description (i.e., mint in box, condition of both the doll and box, shipping 
and
handling fees [extremely important to include], and type of payments you will accept.) 
 By
using the "Advanced Search" option, you may also search for items that have recently
closed to see what the final bids for what you are selling will be (on average).  You 
can
always set a reserve price, so the item will not be sold to people who cannot meet your
minimum acceptable limit.

You will also need pictures of YOUR dolls as they look.  If they are in perfect 
condition
AND still in the box, go to the Barbies Collectibles site
http://www.barbiecollectibles.com/showcase/index.asp and look for .jpg images of the 
dolls
you are selling.  Click the thumbnail (the pic of the doll that is about 1" wide) to 
blow
it up to a useable size.  I know that it may be questionable, legally, to swipe the 
.jpgs,
but a lot of people seem to do it when they list stuff on eBay.

If you need to use a photograph you have taken and haven't a digital camera, take your
photo to a copy center and use the Kodak machine that converts pictures to .jpg or .gif
images.  (Ask at the store when you go in, and a clerk will send you in the right
direction.)  If you haven't developed the film, yet.  Check the "CD" option when
submitting the film, and they will put it on a disc for you.

Be careful and cautious... and NEVER NEVER NEVER send anything to anyone until you have
the confirmed payment OR the check has cleared the bank.  

Best of luck,
Kris
