Schleich 16302 Beagle in the rare painting from 1994

The smartest and the most expert bidders are in the house. Luckily, I already stopped from my fishing or else I will always go home empty handed.

Why have stopped collecting Schleich retired figures, Ronald? You had a very impressive run before you did.....

I can only add, that when we have our items, that the next persons are in line, and one of them could be you Ronald!
I never want to have more of certain items, even when they are rare...
But i have to admitt that it went to my head to buy a real big herd of rare pinto's....

By the way, because i was not at home, i missed the dark Arabian from the "Künsterlerpferde" ..., just by a few euro's...

Sorry Willy. That one has joined my herd as well.

Yes, but Ronald doesn't have to wait in a "pecking order" but can simply "jump the queue" if he wishes, as can anyone else... :)

Yes, Amy is "unstoppable" in the same way that Schwartzenegger's Terminator was!!! :)

Willy, I think you should consider getting one of those many newfangled techie devices that will allow you to access the Internet and bid on auctions while you're on the road.

Don't worry Willy, there are only 2 main animals that will have my attention now in the animals, the beagle and the rearing black artist horse. So watch out. I usually bid to win if it is something I need.

Yes Phil, of course Ronald can join in.
But he ment that he would lose probably, because we are very experienced hunters on e-bay.

I am not on e-bay every day, yes, maybe because i want to order my book-keeping with the sellers and so on, but not to buy always.
I first want to pay all the sellers that i bought from the last weeks, and after that i will see again what pops up there..., i can be very patient if i want.
And it has no use to get eachothers money out of the pockets, the main thing is that one of us get what he or she wants, the others will have their chances too in another case.
I know quit well how much certain figurines are worth, and i will never pay to much for an item.

What did you say to this
beagle
Very crazy i think
By this noun i think we would see more in the future of the beagles.

It's almost like a rugby scrum, isn't it? I'm sure glad I'm not involved in this one. It seems a tad early to me to be bidding this piece up to this level, but hey, it's not my auction..... :)

Simply no more budget left.

The dark beagle goes up very high this time indeed, too high IMHO, although the model looks in a great condition.
I think that 250 euro is already very much for this model, but it looks as this is the future...
There are more rare models on e-bay at the moment, and they are going up very high too....

Well, the beagle went for an incredible € 468,78 at the end, and that is a real shock, even to me without tag!!!
Far over the hill IMHO!
No words for it....

Hey, brother, I feel the same way - shock, but no awe! I don't think that this latest price is "supportable" in the sense that I do not believe a new standard for this particular figurine's price has now been set. I think 250-300 is still the basic range for this one. But who knows?

Yes, i agree Phil, around the 250 euro should do it normally.
There are not many Schleich figurines in that range thankfully.
But to the end of the year, i want to have a brown pelican(which comes soon ), the dark beagle(when it pops up again), and at least 2 or 3 more models of the Künstlerpferde.
When i completed my newer animal-lines, i will try to find some people figurines.

I won so much the last week, i have to see what comes in first, and make an administration of it, the see what is still missing, because i am not displaying everything at the moment.

It may be that now that the price of that beagle went so high other beagles will come available with the hope of the sellers being they could possibly get a Big Price as well! But, then so many may come available that it may bring the price back down. You just don't know...Sue

This beagle will be expensive always!
Never under the 250 euro euro anyway i think...
But maybe the price it has got last week, says something about the rareness today...
We must wait to see what happens, but i thnik the same as Phil, it will be higher and higher in time...

As more people are "finding" Schleich figures, appreciating their quality, and becoming "new" collectors (like me) the demand will continue to climb and prices as well. I can't believe a Musk Ox has almost closed on ebay.com and already is at $71.00! The older model gnu 14162 went for $20.00 and the Water buffalo went for $35.00. We are talking USD. The listing was a fella out of Nova Scotia, Canada with shipping costing $10.00. Has anyone seen a Oryx lately? I have been following Schleich sales on ebay.com but for a couple months and have never seen one. I am trying to re-write the value of the critters on my Gaschers Collector's Guide for Schleich Animals as many have mentioned on this forum how incorrect that part is in the book. Now it looks like I also have to watch for re-paints...Sue

That the musk-ox is going soo high is ridigulous!
It is not worth that amount, for maximum 15 euro's you should have that model!

There are 3 oryx for sale, the first two have rubs, which is quit common in this model, it seems as it has thin painting.
The third one is better, but i tell you that i am bidding on it too, as mine has some rubs too...

Thanks for sharing. I found the translator button for reading the individual page, but can't get into the area that says if they will ship to USA or how payment is to be...when I try to get a translation for that part it kicks me back to the original page with the picture of the figure...I have to try to figure this out somehow...

Here is recent Water Buffalo auction:

Many of these figures auction very cheaply on eBay.de, and some sellers, such as this one, take Paypal, eliminating the problem of wire transfer fees, which if made from US bank accounts, are often as much as $45.

If there is nothing stated about shipment to the USA, then the seller is probably amenable to that. However, you would be well advised to send an eBay PM requesting the shipment total to USA before submitting a bid.

There are many free translation websites available; I like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] .....

I can't say thank you enough to all of you on this forum who have been so helpful and willing to share what you know ~ about what I don't know. :) Applause to you all!

I cannot say it enough, we are here to help eachother, isn't it?
And some of us are always on the prowl for some good figurines, so we can keep an eye open for stuff, that some of the other collectors are searching for... :)

There is a brown pelican in a Schleich lot on ebay.com. I hope to get it but you never know...some people may be willing to spend more.

Oh, sorry I just looked and it says Ships to USA. Well, for those who are in the USA...take a look. :)
