I inherited it I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about it or how much it’s worth I’d appreciate any information Thanks
If it’s in good condition and chipfree even the slightest flea bite can lower its value, it could be worth up to 2,200, or even more, between 1,200 and 1,500 Keep the original box and booklet they’ll increase its value A nice collector’s item
Someone really loved you The 1991 star ornament is THE most coveted Swarovski Christmas ornament of all time Extremely rare and hard to findhence the exorbitant price on eBay The story of the Swarovski Christmas ornament is thisthere is a oneofakind ornament from 1981 Then nothing until 1984just a hanging unitvery different from the first one from 1981 Then in 1986Giftware Suite released no less than 11 different pieces in all shapes and sizes In 1987 there was just onein 1988 a flat octagonin 1989 a Christmas tree with a dovein 1990 a round ballall of these pieces are not highly collected or sought after todaybecause they were not a truly established series and were sold through a secondary line called Giftware Suiteas mentioned before They were pointless And so it went on and on until 1991 when that year’s design was a STAR But here’s where things got interesting They released two versions one just for the US and one just for Europe The US version has a plain silvertone metal charm, while the European version has a grooved goldtone metal charm What made them so covetable and collectible was that apparently most Americans didn’t buy the European version, and vice versa for European collectors, as each country believed it was selling the only 1991 decoration What also made them highly collectible was that, after all, this was the first year of what is now the starsnowflake series stars in oddnumbered years and snowflakes in evennumbered years and that series continues to this day But back in 1991, nobody knew that and considered them just another Giftware Suite collectible Nothing really special, and therefore, no burning desire to own one In 1992, Giftware Suite released its first snowflake, true to its tradition of releasing “different” coins each year, which, once again, failed to attract much attention from collectors Then, in 1993, the task was entrusted to “New Crystal Concepts,” and they released a STAR A boring, repetitive star Then, in 1994, they released a second snowflake, no less mmmmmmmmm and finally, in 1995, Swarovski took notice and said, “Hey, people love these Let’s do a series” And they began marketing them under the D Swarovski brand, continuing the already established pattern of alternating stars and snowflakes And the rest, as they say, is history But by the time most collectors realized it, they had already missed out on the first four, in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994, and they didnt reach their peak until 1995 or 1996 So those who owned the first four clearly owned something pretty rare and special, especially the first one, which started the whole series, the 1991 star Mint in box they sold for over 21,000 on eBay for a while However I hate to burst this bubble but without writing a book here the Swarovski market is in complete collapse and there are a thousand and one good reasons for that Because of this, many collectors are now looking to offload their collections and prices are, in fact, dropping to face stiff competition from other sellers You can now find them on eBay for as little as 1,000 or 1,200 depending on the condition However, the lower prices often come with blemishes bites, chips, missing case, missing ribbon, etc A MINTY MINT coin, in its original packaging, is easily worth 1,500 or more at auction So you have a highly soughtafter coin worth at least a thousand dollars possibly closer to 1,500 or more If it’s damaged, forget about those numbers Broken, it wouldn’t be worth a dime, except for the spare parts from another collector who broke their box and might give you some So, even broken, it might still be worth 100 or more Except for the spare parts from another collector who broke theirs and might give you some So, even broken, it might still be worth 100 or more Except for the spare parts from another collector who broke theirs and might give you some So, even broken, it might still be worth 100 or more So, even broken, it might be worth

Looking to sell My wife is looking for this
If you haven’t sold yet, I’m looking for a 1991 and a 1993 car I’m trying to complete my heritage collection The cars were missing for only a few years, and I’ve found them all at reasonable prices, except for these two I’ve seen the 1991 sell for around 500 at auction, while the ones on eBay for 2,000 remain online indefinitely I’ll keep a close eye on them I found one in excellent condition on Facebook for 750, but the seller refuses to ship it
