I have the opportunity to buy some Beswick Figurines. Hoping to flip them on Ebay to make a few bucks.

1 - BESWICK galloping horse #1374, $250.00 and some cows, bulls & calves, older style, made in England $50 - $80 each * of these in total.

What should I look for, what questions should I ask. They have told me that they have the old back stamp? and that they are not doulton beswick

Any advice would be helpfull.

Mike

I know absolutely nothing about these figures so this is just my personal opionion on an offer like that...

do your homework very carefully and thoroughly...learn how to tell reproductions from originals...check ebay to see what they are going for and make sure they are the ones you are thinking of buying...one figure may be harder to find and therefore worth more than another by the same maker.

the amount of money you are talking about would make me want to be very very sure of recouping at least double before I would lay a dime.

This is an auction for the horse 2623366726 and the cows and calves seem to be doing very well.

Good luck to you.

I would check out the prices on e-bay and see if they are worth it or not http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2623366726&category=12521

I could also use info on Beswick Figurines. I came across a Mrs. Tiggy Winkle in my travels. I can't figure out why some don't sell & others go for decent $$. So in the meantime Mrs. Tiggy Winkle has been sitting here with me doing other auctions.

The reason why some sell and some don't is the backstamp. The backstamp allows you to know when they were made.
I won't be home for another week but will be glad to help you when I get back,if no one does before then
