The rank itself doesn't determine value alone, but also if there's a gene or genetic combo there that people find particularly desirable. So that's all a matter of personal opinion. One person may love roans and happily throw there money at any good horse with roan, the next may not want a single roan in their barns.

Also, what people find desirable changes constantly, what's "hot" right now won't be in a few months, what no one looks at now may be all the rage down the road.

Redbud is quite correct, doing an auction is the only way to find out what people are really willing to pay. Anyone can say "yeah, that one is worth 100k", but if no one is actually willing to pay out for it, then it really isn't. ;)

You can create the horse and sell it, but you can't really offer to sell the button push. There are too many variables outside of the age/gender/type options. A very plain chestnut exceptionally perfect is worth about 5k right now, if that, but you could probably get 20k for a black one with a pattern easily. The problem lies in not knowing what you'll get until you make it.
