Do you have a question for us? Please use this form to ask.

We try to answer questions daily. Questions are not posted until they are answered.

Here are answers to the commonly asked questions about where to resell Painted Ponies, and what their current value is:

When collectors choose to resell their Painted Ponies, we recommend doing so on eBay. There is also a Facebook group, which was set up by Painted Ponies collectors and is not monitored by The Trail of Painted Corporate Office, where you can offer your Painted Ponies for sale. Here is a link to that Facebook group:

To find the current perceived value of your Painted Ponies, we suggest searching on eBay for the same figurine with a similar edition number. If you have an eBay account, you can look up what that particular figurine has sold for recently, and that will give you an even more accurate perceived value.

I am looking for Signed Numbered ponies where is the best place to find them you used to have them at your site..

Response From Trailmaster:

First off, all Painted Pony figurines are numbered. As for Ponies that are autographed by the artist, we generally point people to the artists themselves, who sell their signed Ponies directly to collectors.

I have many older and retired painted ponies. Is there a guide that can tell me their approximate value?

Response From Trailmaster:

I'm afraid there is no guide for the approximate value of retired Painted Ponies. There are too many factors that come into play. Its physical condition, edition number, how popular it was, how many were produced, does it come in its original packaging, are there others currently for sale... to name just a few.

I have several painted ponies for sale. They are in mint condition. Where can I sell them? I would prefer to sell them as a whole unit instead of individual sales.

Response From Trailmaster:

Our recommendation is you try and sell them on eBay.
