what should I do with my Barbie stuff

This is the contents of one of the many boxes I found at my parents house after my father passed away in 2011. Not sure why I had two headless Barbie's LOL. I am determined to get out from under the remaining boxes (so close and yet so far!) and want to find this stuff a new home. I also have another two or three Barbie cases and one Ken case, with stuff in them.

I apparently played very hard with my dollies ... so nothing is in great condition and this batch was left in an open shoe box for more than 45 years and exposed to the elements.

I know a lot of you sell items on Ebay, etc. and I was wondering what your advice would be? I'm thinking of selling the dolls individually (I've read that people will purchase dolls just for parts, so even if the doll isn't in great shape, portions of it may still be of value to some intrepid soul) and the clothes, accessories, etc. all together.  Or should I just give it to the Good Will and be done with it?

little bits of childhood

Little bits of childhood, lost and now found.

Oh! How I loved to play with my Barbie dolls growing up! My mom talked about giving my things to a younger cousin when I had outgrown them.  I think a little whimper came out of me, I loved them so. BFF's forever, my Barbie and me.

So I thought, even with my resistance, my mother had given them away long ago to my cousin in Missouri ... twelve years younger than I, to love.

So in 2011, when my dad passed away (my mother long before him in 1996 - and I never had the strength to go through the things in the house - my father and I lost in denial), my husband and I dug through the mountains of some fifty years of my parents belongings.

One day my husband found my Barbie wardrobe cases (three or four of them, there were!) and then a shoe box with these sad, lost little bits, that somehow hadn't made it back into their homes with the rest. Some things are Barbie, some things are Skipper and then, Skooter or Francie or someone???  All the important details have left my middle aged memory now.

They make me all smile-y again though ...
