Advice on selling an antique Sleigh?

Question

My employer has asked me to help her sell an antique sleigh.

This sleigh was made in Germany. She says it's about 200 years old. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if it is in good enough shape to use as a horse-drawn vehicle.

I think that she might get the maximum price if our market place goes beyond the state we're in, but shipping an item like this is also a concern. I've never researched the selling price of an item such as this.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Contact a local auction house, you will have to pay a commision, but most will transport it to the auction for you and should tell you upfront what kind of price they expect it to bring.
