How to price a composition doll

I have grown so tired of seeing someone trying to sell a popular geposition doll that looks as though it has been run over by a mack truck or has been BADLY repainted for the full value of the doll. I am sure other collectors and gepo doll restoration artists out there share my grief in this matter. I am going to give you (buyer or seller) an idea on how to price a geposition doll. First lets say the doll you have is a popular one (marked or not) but for the purpose of example we are going to use Effanbee Bubbles as well as Ideal Shirley Temple. Both of these dolls came in various sizes and both came with tagged clothing. They are easily found in reference books and reference books give a value on the doll. What some people do not consider is that the condition of the doll in the book is far better than the one they are selling.The value given for a doll can vary slightly or greatly depending on which reference book you are using. I am going to be referencing from Ursula Mertz's book Volume 1
