Aren't these Kids adorable? Right down to Sarah Palin's rimless eyeglasses, hairdoo, red suit and heels!I was very excited about these eBay auctions and I am not even a U.S. citizen!

Just How Much Do You Think These Dolls Sold For???
Well, I've tapped into my eBay skills to offer you the following two eBay sales to help you in predicting the value of Joe Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin.
Emerald Nicole is a rare Xavier Roberts doll from about 1984. She has C Burgandy papers as that was what was available when she was first adopted. (They had used up all the B Red papers.) An interesting part of this doll's story is that she was placed on hold for one of the employees and then they didn't want her after all. By that point though, all the B Red papers were gone and so she was issued C Burgandy. Do you remember just how crazy things were with these Cabbage Patch Kids? Well, apparently they are still hot. This doll sold for $3,649!
A group of three 1979 dolls signed by Xavier Roberts sold for $3,900. They also have their original paperwork intact. I suppose you can say that is $1,300 per doll.
"While children aren't allowed to vote, a few lucky little ones can still pick -- and hug and kiss and squeeze -- their president." -- FOXNews.com
The eBay and Cabbage Patch Kid Fine Print
Each one of these candidate Cabbage Patch Kids dolls was custom produced for this auction and therefore did not come in standard store sealed packaging. It was issued in packaging that was specially created to keep the doll safe. Each doll is one-of-a-kind and another will NEVER be made!These dolls are not suitable for young children as they contain small parts that could present a choking hazard. They were not really designed to be a toy, and at the prices in the auction, I assume that the purchaser will not ever play with the doll.
eBay prequalified bidders for this auction. That helped to ensure the validity and sincerity of those participating in the auction. To bid, you had to ask to be a prequalified bidder.
United States shipping was included in the price of these dolls.
We'd all agree that creating and auctioning these Cabbage Patch kids for charity is a good thing. But are they cute?
