Pricing items is very difficult as it is dependant on so many things such as condition, desirability and how many bidders you get on the day. My advice would be to start your listing at the lowest price you would be happy to accept. Make sure your listing has a good photo of your horse and describe it well, including any damage. I must point out that the nice horsehead bookends were posted by Grace. I only have them in green. Good luck with your sale Alan
