Are these baity?

[lilacamy931]

Hello everyone
I recently won 17 ponies for £2 off Ebay which was fantastic, most are all in bait preparation already and was super pleased on this auction, a couple of G1s were included and want to make sure I am not about to customise something others may want or should not do, only 4:

No ideas on this girl as symbols gone think ok to use - stamped 84.

some sort brother pony, if look really hard symbol is there but clear ladder and hose..


I am happy to use these as baits when needed but would be mortified to find out afterwards I shouldnt have!

1. MM Cuddles I think?  With her color changing symbol gone, shes fair game.  She is a common pony.

2. Blossom.....are her feet weird and flat or normal and concave?  If they are flat, I wouldn't bait her, if they are concave she is a common pony and looks to have faded symbols.  Does she have any body discoloration?

3. Sunlight with glitter loss, rust spots, and face discoloration above her ds eye....personally I would probably bait her.  She is a very common pony and there are few collectors looking for her in that condition. 

4. Chief- A beloved Big brother, but with no symbols and a fairly yellowed body, personally I would say bait.  Especially if he has brown cancer spots.

Just my two cents, I'm all for restoring G1s if they just need a clean up and touch up, but if you've got super common ones in bad condition, I don't have a problem with baiting them.  Not everyone will agree though...

Hmm... took another look at Chief, he isn't that discolored.  That's a toughie.  Does he have any body discoloration?

[lilacamy931]

thanks colorscapesart! 

Brill 1 is good,
2. checking feet - concave brill into baiting box!
3. brill again
4. I bow to identifying skills - cancer spots can you see those or is that something that generally happens (new to this )

Oh on the edit lol: do these pics help at all?

Me and my partner have had a look at him and he seems pretty clean, cant see any discoloured spots just the symbols faded?

[Colorscapesart]

Yeah, his main issue seems to be that his symbols are gone.  His head might be a tad more yellow than his body?

He's borderline I think.  A toughie.  You could try to resell him or see if there is interest.  I think most collectors would not want a symbol-less pony, but Chief is well loved.

thanks so much I will have to have a look at him again as in a drawer now I think I will offer him to a dear friend first as bagsies and then if there is interest rather a good home then custom - thank you so much for the advice.

Bait them all and give the big brother to me! Haha you don't have to

[lilacamy931]

lol carla, I am going to offer her to my friend

Cheif looks to have decent hair he could make a fun restore project!

I'd use the first three as bait, but not Chief. I'm sure someone would be more than happy to restore him.
