Tips on Determining Breyer Horse Values

Spend as much time as you can becoming familiar with the models, the names of the molds, when the models were made. Is the model commonly available? I use two books for reference: "Breyer Animal Collectors Guide" by Felicia Browell, and "Breyer Molds & Models" by Nancy Atkinson Young.
Condition is vital and a big deciding factor in how much a Collector will spend. Pictures. It is the pictures that help tell the story and show the details of the condition of the model. Take some time and ask questions of Collectors. See what models are selling for and who is buying them. Ask as many questions you can, and watch what is selling online.
If the condition is not as good, I will lower my expected price, if the model is in near mint condition, I will raise a bit. During the Holidays is about the best time to list models on eBay. Otherwise, private sales will usually give more in return if it is a model a Collector is looking for.
