Foreign dolls
I inherited a box of dolls, souvenirs from foreign countries (particularly Eastern Europe, I think).
Would any expert be kind enough to tell me whether it’s worth putting any of them up for sale?
Thanks in advance!

·3 years agoThese small to medium-sized dolls are products created as a keepsake of a specific region or place, whether in our own country or abroad. They are very common in Eastern countries and are all dressed in traditional clothing that was once, and sometimes still today at village fairs, worn in the colorful garments of the area and region to celebrate a festival, a religious event, or simply to strengthen the family ties of an ancient community. Even the ones from our own country are very widespread, especially the Sicilian, Sardinian, or those from other regions, often in the central-southern part, where the tradition has become widespread and well known even abroad. Many sellers on eBay offer pairs of dolls or groups of six or seven pieces, ranging in price from 8 euros up to 20 euros. I have never seen any of these sellers spend a syllable in favor of describing these objects. Usually you read very brief notes like: beautiful ethnic dolls, or regional, or vintage. Stop. Perhaps because they are common, people mistakenly think it is not worth saying anything about them. I would suggest listing them individually. On the other hand, avoid giving too much space to the accepted payment methods and the time allowed to the buyer.
