Question My sister has a glass-eyed, 2 seat, coney island horse for sale and would like to know how to sell and it's value.
It has metal rein in front, and metal posts for riders' legs. The mane hair is gorgeous carved and all parts are in fine condition, but for a small nic in one ear. It is tan with white mane. Thanks!

Answer In this market it's hard to place a value on collectibles. I generally tell folks that they're worth whatever someone is willing to pay. I know that I had one of the Steeplecase horses that I sold back when the market was good. I got $2,000 for it.
