The Doll Cradle owner Connie Harrell is a certified appraiser, one of the few specializing in vintage and antique dolls. We can appraise one doll, or your entire household!
In order to perform a legal appraisal, we must see the items in person. Appointments are required for in-house and in-store appraisals.
Our base pricing is $25 per doll, or $75 per hour, which includes multiple dolls. For a service call of $75, we will come to your home.
We will quote you a special price for a collection.
Call to set up an appointment or if you have any questions.
Buying Dolls
We are always in search of specific kinds of dolls for our list doll collectors. We can buy one doll or an entire collection! Consignment options are available.
You may also email us photos at sales@dollcradle.com if you would like to save yourself a trip. We can let you know by looking at them if they are something we would be interested in purchasing.
Don't have something we are currently buying, but you still need to part with your dolls? We accept donations for our doll hospital. Your old dolls can help us bring someone else's beloved back to life! We also pass on dollies to our young visitors, nursing homes & local drives to support our Shawnee community.
