This lady is the #230 Traditional-scale Breyer Stock Horse Mare mold, produced from 1982-88 in this overo paint colour, and sculpted in 1982 by Christian Hess. According to PonyLagoon's information I'm inclined to think that she's a 1982 model because her front raised leg is off the ground. She's an interesting, very light variation on the usual dark bay. I don't think sh's faded because the colour is the same all over, and I always remember her being like this. So she's an interesting, maybe unique variation. Unfortunately she isn't mint/LSQ condition - she's got a few scuffs from her 26-odd years in existence. She has rubs on her muzzle and eartips, and around the sides of her hooves. On her left side she's got a tiny pink spot on her rump in the white area, and there's a factory-flawed area where her finish on her barrel is a little uneven. There are a couple of small grey marks on her that I'll try to get off in the next week (just trying to get this listed so it finishes up on the weekend!) and will update. There's a faint rubbed area on the top of her rump on the near side, about 1x1.5cm but quite faint.No yellowing that I can see. She'd make a nice, unusual shelf model, or a good CM body as she's in otherwise good condition. Any questions, please ask!
Overseas buyers - please contact me for postage costs. I ACCEPT PAYPAL for overseas buyers only. Please wait until end of auction and I will give you my (verified) Paypal address. I used to list it on my auctions as an automatic option but local buyers didn't read the small print and used it despite my only accepting bank deposit for locals. Apologies for the inconvenience!
*Postage is an estimate and will vary based on your location. Please wait for me to give you an exact amount at the end of the auction. I’m happy to combine postage for multiple items. I only charge you what it costs me to post.
TERMS & CONDITIONS...IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
I take all possible care with packing, and have not had an item arrive damaged yet, but I take no responsibility for what Australia Post does to the parcel once it leaves my hands. I recommend choosing registered post (an extra $2.60) or postal insurance (for o/seas parcels), especially for expensive items.
Postage is approximate and will vary based on your location, unless it fits in an overnight satchel. I only charge you what it costs me to post, which occasionally includes packing materials (I recycle wherever possible), but I do not make any profit on postage.
Please check all of the information I have provided, especially sizing, really carefully. I don’t refund for wrong sizing or anything else where I’ve provided information and the buyer hasn’t read it.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I do accept bids from Zero-Feedback bidders, but please email me first, or I reserve the right to cancel your bid. This also goes for bidders with excessive negative feedback.
Please ask any questions first, and allow time for me to answer (ie., not an hour before the auction ends).
I am happy to refund if I have made a mistake or provided wrong information for the listing. Refunds will not be provided unless the mistake is mine. So far I haven’t had anyone want a refund, but there’s a first time for everything.:)
That said, PLEASE contact me if you have a problem. Don’t just leave negative feedback. You’ll find me very reasonable if you just communicate!
I post as soon as possible after I receive your payment. Usually this is the same or next day, but I am working crazy hours at the moment and it will sometimes be up to three days. If you are in a huge rush for your item, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it to you asap. Otherwise, your patience is appreciated.
If you’ve got this far, YOU ROCK!! Thank you, and happy bidding.:)
