Clean them up before selling?

[Rowan]

Hi!

We snagged a lot of 50 ponies from eBay, and they all need a good bath and hair clean up... but I plan to re-list about 15 of them... will they sell better once cleaned up or is it worth the effort?

They are all g3s, good condition, just need some TLC

good looking ponies with nice clean and shiny hair def sell better than ones with crows nests for hair

That's definitely one of the things I look for when I buy. When I buy ponies, the last thing I want to do is clean them up. I'd rather set it in front of me and stare at it for a while.

I always clean ponies before I sell them. (:

Great thanks! I am having fun doing hair and bodies, so it isn't a hardship... it isn't until I clean them up that I find out if we are keeping them (little does my daughter know... she thinks they are ALL STAYING LOL).

I would think that they would sell better with a little TLC. Plus it sounds like you and your daughter are having fun.
Good Luck!

My friend and I buy ponies on budget, meaning a lot of our ponies come in with supreme frizz and pretty dirty!

My friend is a whizz at cleaning up ponies (primarily because it's a calming hobby for her!) and after through her thorough (yet gentle!) salon job they look like they're worth at least $10 more (in our opinion :P).

Make that a tip for selling - and buying with only a little in your pocket!

As far as G3s go, I just make sure they don't look completely ratty, a little played with is fine, afterall, they're only a few years old, and usually not super dirty.

G1 and G2s I always give a deep thorough cleaning and hair styling to.
