Basically I have a large set of julip toys that I want to sell... I have long since grown out of them and they are just gathering dust. I have a large collection with some valuable items such as a 3/4 horse horse lorry and stables. Along with 4 horses, two riders a dog kennel and dog to go with it! I also have rugs, grooming kit two saddles and two bridles, feed sacks and buckets and wheel barrows with 'mucking out' tools. I have looked on eBay and can find little evidence of sets this large and cannot decide weather to sell them as one large sets or individual sets, any advice? Also how much do you think should sell them for, the horse lorry new was was worth about ninety pounds and despite a little dust is still in very good condition. All the others are too, apart from a horse's tail that occasionally falls out but is easily shoved back in! Anyway, enough of that, any interest? And also any suggestions on prices.... Suggestions are very welcome!!! Thank you! :) :) :) :) :)
 
Have a quick scan around on ebay to get an idea of prices being asked.
From the julip website there is a collectors section - not too sure what it is might be worth investigating or have a quick look on facebook for collectors or collectors sites.

Many of these toys are required to be in the orginal packaging to be of any great value to serious collectors but with a bit of homework you should be able to find lovely homes for all your ponies !!
 
I think the value will depend mostly on what range they are. If they are originals then you should get good money but the other collections were so mass produced that I dont think that they would be worth much. Not sure what the stables and lorry would get though.
 
lizwisch89 on here *I think* occasionally sells toy horses etc. They were looking for some a few months ago.

I sold some on ebay about 3 yrs ago, i put the horses individually with a saddle and bridle and then sold the rugs and other odds and ends in sets and the riders in pairs. I think I got pretty good money for them, can't remember how much now but it was more than i was expecting. I gave everything a clean and got good pics of it all.
 
God, I still have my mothers ones from the 60s. Are they valuable. I loved playing with them as a child. They're pretty battered now as they used to be made from soft rubbery stuff back then which just have up after time, especially the legs
 
The older they are the more valuable they are. Julips arent my thing, but 80s ones should fetch a fair wack, I've seen the older ones going for £70+...

With regards the OP, collectors arent really interested in the stables, its the models themselves they are interested in. Theres still a good second hand toy market though I would have thought

If you google it there are forums like this dedicated to model horses, and they would be able to give you better advice on there re price, and there may well be a buyer on there.
 
I quite often regularly buy Julips off ebay and I have noticed that around christmas is a very popular time to buy and sell them ( a long way away I know)

I would recomend selling the horses individually with any original tack/rugs/riders that they came with.

making job lots of tack/riders and accesories always seem to sell (e.g your feed sacks,grooming kit, buckets, wheelbarrow and mucking out tools)

I would probably sell the lorry and stables seperatley and the dog kennel and dogs could be sold by itself or with the stable(s)

when you put them on ebay pm me the links to the auctions and if I have not got any of the horses your selling I will probably buy them and the dog kennel too :) lol
 
I would echo the above re selling around xmas time. I sold a job lot of the accessories a few years back in december on ebay, and it went for about 65 pounds - it wasn't a huge amount either, probably about 5 rugs, couple of saddles and bridles and mucking out tools iirc!!

I too have two lots of stables and the horse lorry left over from when I was younger. I looked on ebay recently and they didn't seem to sell, so maybe worth trying nearer xmas?
 
I've a big bag of original 70's Julip horses, riders, tack etc, my Christmas/Birthday etc treat were trips to Beauchamp Place in London where the two girls who started the original business in a basement there were, to choose my own new horse and rider, lovely memories, every now and then I get them out and wonder whether I should sell them.
