How to Price My Horse For Sales

Selling a Horse? Read this!

At sometime or another, we've all put a horse up for sale for more or less than it's worth. 
Nobody will buy a horse that is over priced for what it is, and you'll be taken advantage of
if you underprice. Here is some great tips for getting what your horse is worth.

Before pricing, take these things into consideration.
- What is the horses breed and species? -  some breeds are worth more than others, Donkey's are worth far more than a regular horse as are unicorns, divines and specials. Pegasus' are not worth much more than a regular horse and the reason for this is that they are given out to every player as an objective, and can easily be created by purchasing Medusa's Blood. You may want to check the directories to see how many horses of your breed, to determine whether they are worth more money or not. 
-What is the Gender, are they Gelded? - Many people are only looking for males and many for females. Female horses are in some respects worth more than males as they play the main part in reproducing. Other players will buy male horses for more, if they have potential, they can be gelded and a bonus will come from that. Don't just geld your horses to earn more money, as some players don't like gelded horses. 
-Horses Coat- As there are so many coats on howrse, the ones that are the lower percentage are obviously worth more. Many players will pay more for horses with the Flaxen Liver Chestnut and Cremello coats, but this depends on the individual. Horses with rare coats wont fetch you thousands of equus' extra at sale, but they can increase the price by 500 - 1000 equus. If you have a rare coat, why don't you change the horses name to '1% Coat', so players are aware of the coat rarity. Many horses also have GA (golden apple) RC or RA (Retired Coats or Retired Apple) and DA (Diamond Apple) Coats, and these will push up the price further, especially to RC and DA collectors.
-What Items does your horse have? - Items can really dramatically effect the price at sale as they are purchased with passes. Horses with Philosophers stones often make good money, as well as horses with DA or RC coats. Look around the the Black Market to determine whether an item you have can add to the value. If you have a chronos' timer, but the horse is already fully trained - then the CT is basically worth nothing. 
-Pure Bred- In many cases, PB horses are worth more to breeders, whereas Cross bred horses are good foy players who aren't interested in competition. 
-Skill Level and GP- The higher the skill and the GP the higher the price will go. Any skill above 1000 is good and 1600 is great. GP can be in phenomenal amounts. Horses with the standard GP of 350 aren't worth much at all. 
-Look in the Horse Directories- The horse directories will tell you several things as well as your horses breed profile. They tell you the rarity of coats, how many of those horses are in existance, what the favourite breeds are and what they have been selling for. 
-Look around the sales - Find horses of the same breed, either PB or CrossBred. If a horse is similar, base your price on that, if you find one that is of lower quality then you know that price is too low, if you find one that is of better quality, then the price is too high, so set your price between these two numbers!
