Title: PRICE CHECK for the nurse pony set? Mountain boy set?
Post by: maycrestmom on July 20, 2019, 10:42:49 AM

I am so out of the loop on prices these days

I have 2 with their hats and got that etsy replacement for the third so that they at least work well as a matching trio

G4 nurse is a tag along

Same goes for the mountain boys as I have all of them.  Thinking $500 for the set seems fair that's about what I paid for ...

I am hoping to sell as a set, but I am not sure if it would be better to sell individually?

Any ideas as to prices these days?

thanks and I will be right back with pictures

here's the nurse set

Does $200 for this set seem about right?

thanks for the price check

Hmmm... in the US the nurse and mountain boys can go for a bit. For the mountain boys, my advice would be to sell separately as you can ask $150-200+ for ones in good condition. Do you have any pictures? I am not sure how much the nurse ponies are going for... my guess would be around $70-120 maybe? I might be interested in buying some of you ponies as I am looking for a few of the mountain boys.  :)

Nurse ponies are not common even here where they were sold because, being at the end of the range, they didn't get a great distribution. Their hats are even worse because the pins break. So I would sell the nurses with the genuine hats one by one.

The replica hat in my view is something for individual collectors to decide on. For me a replica has no value so it would be just about which pony it was and how rare she is/condition - but other people might feel differently.

The Mountain Boys, it depends on their condition, since some are prone to regrind etc. I don't think your estimate for the complete set is necessarily out of the ballpark but I have seen Thundercloud sell as low as $30 on his own if he has damage...

thanks so much for the feedback - appreciate it

yeah it does seem to be more of a one by one sale is best that is always the time-exchange on the price vs. convenience selling all at once

Thundercloud has been selling for lots at the moment, I have been looking for him to buy. Even in bad condition he is still selling for around $80us.
$500 is an awesome price for all the boys you could get more selling individually thou.

$200 for the nurse pony sounds right, you could possibly aim a little higher like $250
