A New Chapter for Old Friends

Many American Girl dolls and collections come to us after years of being loved, played with, and carefully kept — and that history matters. When a family decides it’s time to let them go, it isn’t just about clearing a shelf or a closet. It’s about choosing where those dolls and stories will go next. At AG Annex, every piece is treated with care, respect, and an understanding of what it meant to the child who once held it.

When you sell to us, your collection becomes part of a place built for children who are still in the middle of those stories. Dolls are cleaned, restored when needed, and thoughtfully displayed so they can be discovered again by a new generation of girls who will read the books, learn the characters, and create their own memories. There is something quietly meaningful about knowing that a doll that once mattered so much in one home will matter just as much in another.

We also know that life changes. Children grow up, rooms get cleared, and collections that were once treasured deserve a gentle and respectful transition. Selling to AG Annex is a simple, professional process — no auctions, no shipping, no waiting for the right buyer. You bring your collection in, we evaluate it carefully, and we make a fair offer based on condition, completeness, and current demand.

Most of all, selling here lets you pass things on with confidence. Your dolls don’t disappear into a warehouse or an online listing — they stay part of a small, local shop devoted entirely to preserving their stories. It’s an easy way to let go, knowing the next chapter will be just as meaningful as the first.

 If you’re thinking about passing along a collection, the first step is simply to reach out. We usually begin by asking for a few photos, which allows us to get a sense of what you have before scheduling a visit. From there, we arrange a convenient appointment to review everything together in person. It’s a process designed to honor both your time and the memories that come with every piece.
