We cannot provide a specific resale price because a mannequin’s value depends on brand, condition, rarity, pose, and market demand—even rare ones with all parts intact can vary significantly in price.

Because mannequins don’t have a centralized resale market or consistent buyer demand, their value is far more subjective than cars or jewelry.

Check for markings on the neck, foot, or hardware connectors. This article may help you identify the mannequin by their hardware attachments. Also try uploading photos to mannequin groups on Facebook groups for help identifying it.

• Condition: Cracks, discoloration, or missing parts will reduce value.
• Pose: Unique or non-traditional poses (like seated or reclining) are more valuable.
• Series: Limited editions or mannequins modeled after celebrities (like Rootstein’s Cher or Twiggy) tend to be worth more.
• Face style: Realistic faces usually have higher appeal than abstract ones.And mannequins with glass eyes are highly sought after.
• Rarity of ethnicity: Black, Asian, or ethnically diverse mannequins are more scarce and often more desirable to collectors.
• Paint quality:   ➡ Important: Mannequins that were originally sculpted as Black, Asian, or Latina and then repainted to look white are devalued. This practice, often referred to as whitewashing, erases the uniqueness of the original model and may offend buyers or collectors. It’s better to restore the original paint color (if known) or leave it as-is than repaint inappropriately.
• Restoration level: Too much repainting, gluing, or patching can hurt resale value.

Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or vintage mannequins groups on Facebook. eBay works too, but fees and shipping may cut into your profits. If there is a used mannequin vendor in your city, they might sell the mannequin for you on a consignment basis and handle the shipping. (We do that quite often at Mannequin Madnes)

Yes—search for mannequins similar to yours and check completed sales on eBay or Etsy to see what buyers actually paid (not just what sellers asked).

Price it based on condition, brand, and demand—aim for a price you’d be happy with, while being realistic about the market.

When you post your mannequin, include a photo of the product catalogue if possible, especially if you have a brand name mannequin.

On our Pinterest board, we have catalogues for Decter, Rootstein, Pucci, Greneker, Hindsgaul and Patina V mannequins.
