I think you could give them away if you put them in the toys for tots or the operation Christmas child boxes, kids in very poor countries who never get dolls wont mind. and I know operation Christmas child is a tax write off. Not as good as recouping the loss, but at least you would get something.

My MIL has tons of 'collectible' dolls, not sure what she thinks they are worth, but thank goodness she isn't in debt for them. I know after minimal research my vote would be to donate them to girls who need some fun.
