I personally haven't sold a horse on BHW, but I check the for sale ads daily! Facebook and Dreamhorse are other good places. For Facebook, check out Barrel Horses, Broodmares, and Prospects on Facebook if you decide to go that route.
For pricing, check out similar bred and aged mares on the sites you would post. Age, breeding, conformation, cover sire, other foals she has produced all come in to play when pricing.

Another place to look is the racehorse stallion register from Speedhorse. They list broodmares by sire and prices from public racehorse auctions in the previous year. I always find that interesting reading! (Yes, I'm a data nerd.)
I suspect broodmares are kinda tough to move right now, unless they are really fancy. I'm in eastern Montana and for a lot of miles around me, the drought is so bad we have NO feed. Hay is at least twice what we usually pay.
So I have some broodmares to sell because of the drought myself . . . but I suspect no one around here will be buying!
However, the top of the world mares are always worth a lot.
