Hello Swifty,


Thank you for such an interesting question.


Mrs. Janet Gale Hammer owns and operates A Retired Collection, which
specializes in the secondary market for retired Lladro Figurines where
I found the retired Lladro limited edition sculpture #1189m.
http://www.lladrolady.com/featuredProducts.cfm?setID=298


The name of the sculpture is Eagles and belongs to the Piece and
Liberty Collection.


The piece is #1189m
EAGLES 
Item: #1189M 
Issued: 1972 
Retired: 1978 
Height (inches): 25.25 
Price: $5,500.00 


As you can see, she is selling that sculpture for $5,500.00.
There is a free listing service where you can post your product that
you wish to sell on her Website.

An appraisal would be my recommendation for you. There is an online
appraisal service on the What’s It Worth To You Website.

 “One of their experts will quickly and accurately determine the value
of your product for $9.95. As part of the online appraisal process,
you will receive a Digital Appraisal Certificate. After the appraisal
you may choose any one of the following options:”

Physical Appraisal - Get a "hands on" appraisal from a registered
expert.
 
“Once an item has been appraised online and has been estimated to be
of high value, a full physical appraisal is often desirable. When you
choose a physical appraisal, you will be presented with a listing of
certified property appraisers with experience in your item category.
You can sort this list to find an appraiser in your area who is
registered with WhatsItWorthToYou.com.”
