Usual price for a loose takara?

[Spectrum]

I've decided that I can't resist these cuties anymore, and I'm going to save up for one. But, I need to know what they go for. xD

I do know that they are a pretty penny, but I'm not sure where they usually range- I know one with it's box recently sold for 1000 dollars, however, I'm looking for a loose one. I'm hoping for them to be in fair - near mint condition.

I think it's hard to say what a reasonable price would be for a loose Takara. They are so rarely for sale loose or MIB that I think the price is usually determined by what the seller is looking to get for their pony.

i am still thinking around $800-$1000 even for a loose takara pony, but it is hard to say since they come up for sale so rarely.

I think they are about the same, box or not box. I personally prefer them without a box because I am not a box collector, and I have half a mind to actually throw the packaging away. ... I won't... but I don't like the boxes taking up precious space.
So yeah, I'll spend the same amount on a not boxed pony, if given the chance to offer a price.
BTW, many of the boxed ones over the last year or so went for around $3,000-- at least 3 of them did.

* But it depends on who is looking, what audience is being sold to, and how well it's advertised, and if the person is taking offers.

As has been said above, their isn't really a 'usual' price for a loose Takara as they really are that rare! I would expect to see at least $800 on a single one, but their range could be huge.

Best of luck saving your pennies!  Takaras are so cute; I'm sure it will be a glorious day when you can finally add one to your collection!
