bailey's harbor wi # 674 - 01/21/16 06:09 PM

I am thinking of selling on ebay, my baileys harbor light. This has a serial number in the special group that Kim painted. Any one offer a guess on what I should do for a price? Every thing is there.

Total production was only 500 and the Kim hand-touched was only about 120. going on memory, but think the original retail was about $30. I know at one point the museum was selling pieces for $100, but that was several years ago. I'm sure Rich or Daniel will share some thoughts with you, but given its limited production you might get double the original or $60?

I have a tendency to agree with Dave on the $60.00 value and possibly up to $75.00. The man that could probably give you a better insight into its value is Roland at the Cape Cod Store.

I agree with Roland and Dave. $65 to $75 seems about right. I have never seen that the specialty painted pieces went for any more than the regular, if it is a single digit or even a low double digit, it may go for a little more. This is the worst time to sell. after Christmas while many are paying on there high visa bills. If you cant sell now try later in a couple of months,

I checked the eBay listing again.
There was still three bidders at $107.
Play up that it is one of the 120 that was enhanced by Kim, You should get at least $107 on eBay.

I think that the reason the special Enhanced Bailey's Harbor never went for more than the regular one that the sellers didn't know about it. I have never seen a seller on ebay mention about it.

Thanks for keeping us informed.
I have always been concerned how the special enhanced versions have not been publicized and not getting the special higher price it deserved. you did a good job in your price.
