I don't wanna barge in and be rude.

But I would like to give you some advice.

I think the price you're asking for your Rapunzel is far too high for the condition she's in. Her tail has been cut and possibly her mane too? That devalues her by a lot. I know her price range when she's in near mint condition 700-800 dollar. With accessoires even 1000+ dollars. As well as minor flaws such as standing issues (which can be easily fixed) go for between 500-600 dollar.

A flawed Punzie like yours sells for around 300 dollar on Ebay. There was one in April this year in similair condition to yours on Ebay which sold for 305 dollar.

It's just a suggestion. I thought I'd let you know.

I'm looking for her myself, but I'm looking for one without obvious flaws.

[fizzingmagic]

The reason I actualy have her up for this much is  that I had a bunch of people from the tradeing post price check her then they advised me to place her here.
I might just reroot her myself as thats the only thing wrong with her.

[Taffeta]

I suggest you don't reroot her. Significantly restoring a pony is a double edged sword. With a pony as rare as Rapunzel, you risk taking a bigger hit on her value by removing her original hair. I would sell her as she is and leave that up to the new owner. It might be better to take offers or put her on ebay if you have a certain value in mind She's the kind of pony whose price fluctuates up and down and condition is a factor, but taking out her original hair and replacing it is likely to dent her value too, unless you have a specific buyer who is willing to shell out a lot of money for a pony with replaced hair.

With htf ponies, that can be an issue. I really wouldn't risk it, as you can't take it back once its done.

[fizzingmagic]

I've only ever rerooted 2 times ,also i'm kinda scared about taking off her head since its firmly on (I've ripped my TAF scoops neck ring off ; w ; ).But thank you I thought that rerooting would only restore her value or increase it ' o ' ! I would use Ebay but my Mother wont allow it (I am 20 but I live in her house and her rules heh she really only trusts the pony forums.)

I really only want to drop down to 550 on her and I might slowly reduce her price starting tomorrow.

[Taffeta]

It's ok xD Sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution.

I think also it depends if you want a quick sale or are prepared to wait. If the latter, her price may or may not come up again and that might impact on the price for one with cut hair, too. Summer is the worst time to sell ponies as everyone is out at summer markets trying to find things, and also saving up because of going on holiday. Spring and Autumn are generally better sale times for ponies - depending on whether you have the time to wait.

Good luck with rehoming her

[fizzingmagic]

Thank you so much on the info!
I know its gonna be a sloooooooooooow time selling her (I'm hopeing to get her to her home by August!But I might miss that)
Im just hopeing who ever buys her wants to reroot her she would look nice with golden hair and then blue a and silver tinsel!!

She looks lovely in a show stable !

[Pierlala]

She does indeed

[maycrestmom]

good luck whichever you decide but I'm of the opinion to talk to your mom about the ebay route again for a quicker sale and then if you really want that new hair combo we have a ton of amazing custom artists who do fab hasbro repros

I also agree closer to $300 in that shape

and welcome to the arena    !

Yep!  Her biggest selling point is her long hair, so if that's missing then she immediately drops to about half her potential value.  Yours also is missing her original braid.  Rerooting her would devalue her even further, as her biggest selling point is then gone for good. 

[fizzingmagic]

Thank you all for the advice!
I might keep her up for Pony Fourm sells until the 20th then if no buys I'll put her up on Ebay.
Once explaining Ebay to my mom she found out its not so scary!
Also I might drop her to around 450 ? (The money is going to go to getting myself a fursuit head so sorry if it looks like I was pushing her for a little more then she was worth ; w ; )

[Pierlala]

Sorry to question you. But I don't understand your "trade price" . Because if someone wants to buy it, you're okay with 550 USD. But if someone wants to trade they have to give you the 550 USD AND a Paradise Estate or Nightglider?

Then why not just buy it? xD

Doesn't make much sense to me :p

[fizzingmagic]

OH I need to fix them sorry!!!
There supposed to scale down with the price
