Title: current price guide for G1's?
Post by: Peppie on June 10, 2012, 06:19:04 AM: I have both of Debra's pony books with price guides. But is there a site or newer book for finding the current value of G1's?

Post by: teresat on June 10, 2012, 08:49:06 AM: I have Summer Hayes' book and I've noticed that her prices are pretty close. I do agree that the prices fluctuate. All depends on the interest in particular ponies at a particular time. Price checks and recent final sale values at ebay are good too!

Yes, prices dont go from super low to super high over the years [or at least seldom do] but there are always dips or surges in popularity which can cause changes so what a pony may be worth 6 months ago could be different to now.

This!

And a big thanks to bluerose for taking the massive amounts of time required to keep the price guide site updated. It is such an asset to me as a collector and I use it ALL the time. :)

Post by: StarDragon on June 10, 2012, 02:07:38 PM: In case you are still looking for ideas on how to price ponies, I go to ebay and look under the 'completed listings' option (it is to the left on the side bar). It lets you know what the pony has been going for most recently. :)

Post by: LadySatine on June 10, 2012, 02:11:17 PM: I'll just chime in to say that I also check blueroses's site frequently and I find them pretty accurate.
