I'd say for Ice and Nexus since they aren't closed genes maybe 5k-20k depending on het or hom, and papers and if theyre superior. Obviously *Gold or anything would be more then 20k in my opinion (just because of quality)

I couldn't give any advice on other Fantasy genes since I've never bought them because of having to have licenses.

2G and beyond I usually have a base price of 5k (to cover the foaling fee and testing) then add a thousand or two for higher papers, such as A/Blue or B/Red papered (I'd add probably another 3-4k for *Gold/etc.), then any other 'special' gene (special in the sense of maybe pearl, sb2, sable, etc.) I'd add another 500hb maybe. Usually I price my 2-3G around 7,500.

Now this is just my pricing and opinion so I'm not sure if it holds much weight :)) , and I could be way off in the market. But I hope I helped even a little bit!

I rarely sell horses other than RS (those I start at 25k and lower by 2-5 k each day I log in and remember until they are sold) and show horses I put up for 3000.

Like Helia I don’t have to worry about money (other than hitting the cap) and only buy superior stud colts and mares who’s papers are improving through the line although I allow 3 generations of the same papers.

I am also particular about colour and wouldn’t buy a liver chestnut thunderstruck macchiato for 2,500hbs but did shell out a few million on a small herd of grullo KP mares and studs each running between 25-125k I think. For sure paid 25-100k each

Pricing is definitely a tricky thing! I very rarely sell my horses publicly because I don't want to risk the lines being bred unevenly or risk my standards not being upheld. For that reason, I typically will trade with friends or sell them for a reasonable price to players I know well if I know they'll help out someone's program.

A lot of us have invested real money into the game so I am more than happy to pay several hundred thousand for the right colt/filly if they fit my program very well (especially with fantasy genes).

For basic foundations, I typically sell them for create price + testing. Rank specials, it just depends on what they are. I will price some horses on the higher end if I'm not desperate to sell them, but also don't really *need* them.

I would never buy and "About as good as" colt from someone since I almost never keep them myself (unless they have very special lines - even then, I'll test them a season and if they aren't producing at least slightly better than their sire, they get the snip).

Pricing definitely seems to be all over the place lately and in my personal opinion a lot of people are undervaluing the worth of their stock. On the other hand, I see a lot of overpricing of horses with uneven lines (for me personally, they have no worth except for show horses so that's just my own opinion).

Ultimately, pricing is subjective and I don't think you'll find a set standard. I know this doesn't answer your question very well, but I hope it sheds a little more light on at least one more perspective!

There is so many variables, for instance I like Kp, DP and cobs, will pay quite a bit for horses that meet that criteria, and obviously more than that once other special genes are on top of that. For instance a wrong warp riding horse filly is worth nothing to me, but if she was a cob and also had KP and/or DP then she is immediately worth a lot more to me. As good as sire colts aren't really worth anything, not to me anyway

Superior, even bred, lined, step up papered stallion/mare price range= 10k-100k hbs, will pay more depending on what other genes the horse has

As good as sire, even bred, lined, step up/same papered stallion/mare= 2500hbs for aga colts, 2500hbs for a red gen3, but say at least 5k for blue gen3's etc

Uneven horses are also only worth just create price as a show horses to me as well, no matter what the papers, but poorly bred even generations horses only have minimum show horse worth to me as well. I don't consider it worth more being even generation bred. Even generation breeding is only useful if people are actually trying to improve quality with each generation


Or what about for fantasy Gene's? Such as wrong warp, water color, chinchilla, etc.

They are all just extras, so these genes on their own might not be worth all that much but combined with all my other likes, sky's the limit!
