Could someone please help me with the current value of this gentleman?

I think the overall display condition is nice, but not for the picky collectors.

Body:
Colour difference between head and body, more noticeable on one side.
Two regrind (or just pink?) marks, one can be seen from the front in pics, the other one is a line close to the cutie mark, not visable from the "good side"
Two barely visable tiny grey/brownish dots that could possibly be pony cancer, I can´t tell myself, I only mention them since I know some people are very scared of pony cancer, if the words alone would bring down the value? 
Hair:
Nice and shiny, bit with a bit of dryness at the end of both mane and tail
Eyes/freckles:
Close to perfect, can´t find any flaws
Marks:
Good but some very small scratches on "bad sides" cloud and a little bit rubbed in the rain and a tiny scratch in cloud on the "good side"


Help please? 

I saw a few argie babies on e-bay that I have been drooling after.
Especially one of them, an MIB white argie baby starbow
Do you think 300$ + shipping is a fair price for her?

Would actually prefer to find one loose, if I do get this one I would consider it an investment if I need cash later on (and would atleast want to be able to get the money back).

I also saw this lot with 10 argies for 1000$ (should be easy to find if searching for argie MLPs).

Only interested in the babies though, so I would sell the rest. Do you think the price is fair? It seems very high, especially since they are not in top condition. Then again, I would not be able to tell how popular they are/selling prices myself.

Would be very thankful for any help, so I can avoid doing something stupid! 

**edited, removed the links**

Even though it´s me who is the collector (only MLP) my boyfriend gets even more excited than me when going to toy stores. 
So I thaught I would give him a toy or toy-related plushie for V-day instead of the standard gifts.

I have some options so it´s more a matter of finding something atleast a little bit suitable for V-day and something that would be a little bit "extra", and that I am not too familiar with some of the stuff he´s interested in.
By "extra" I think I mean either that it is spot on combo V-day/cool action toy, or as cool toy as possible for the budget (guys standard).

Budget is around 20-30$ but could be interesting with a bit higher aswell since B-day is coming up next month!

He actually likes the "Friendship is magic" series so if I do not come up with something else I could go for a G4.
But I think he is more into Turtles (new version, don´t remember the name) and Marvel stuff like Batman etc. He is very into comics, draws comics himself.

If there are any similar guys here - what would you have wanted to get as a gift?
Or just give me some ideas and inspiration, please! 

I got a bunch of ponies I am not certain of the values of. Not 100% decided on which ones to keep, but leaning towards selling most of the ones listed.

I will post some at a time so it won´t be too much trouble!

Fairly good condition overall, would display lovely for someone not super-picky.
Rubs in both sides markings, a couple of smaller ink stains on NDS side, probably tail rust (sounds when shaken), eyes and freckles are lovely, colour not 100% even all over, a little bit faded partially, mainly on NDS side front hoof beard. When posed as picture all colours appear beautifully!
Tiny bit dry in the end of the tail.

Sea Breeze

Overall: SOO pretty! Good condition.
Tail and mane have a tiny bit both frizz and dryness but hardly noticeable. One tiny pink dot in the eye, not 100% clear/clean colour but I can not really point anything else out.

Pretty Beat, Euro

Overall: Good condition. Tiny bit dry/frizz in the mane, lower half of the red mane. No "big" flaws but not 100% clear colour (lighter on tips of ears and down at the hooves, and head vs. body), not noticeable imperfection to one eye, a couple of tiny black dots.

Sweet Clover (looks pink to me?)

(Hair not completely dry yet, sorry about that! )
Overall: Good condition
Nice eyes, markings, mane and tail except tiny bit frizz in the tail, she has got a smaller faded blue mark under NDS sides cheek (more like behind the cheek, good angle) do not know if it is a factory error but seems to be a small glitch between head and neck.

Sports Time (UK)

Overall: Would say near mint, but he has a brown dot on his back that I would say is practically invisible, but not sure if it could be pony cancer. Can´t find anything else.

Very thankful for help!

Could something this tiny be pony cancer? I have no clue, everything brown-ish looks the same to me! 

I really tried to take pic of the faded ink stain but it just would not stick to the camera! Took like three pics and this is the closest I got to be able to see it;

I have ended up with lots of ponies that I do not need, so I will want to sell or trade them.
I am kind of new to MLP-trading and would really appreciate help with the values! To be able to make fair deals.

Baby Cotton Candy: A bit dry mane/tail, very small spot above hoof. Overall nice condition.
Minty: Rubs in cutie marks both sides, lovely mane and tail, could be other smaller spots/flaws

Sunburst: Hair cut down completely for the first 1/4th of the mane + smaller cut further back in the mane, semi-big spots on both sides (pony cancer? has been desinfected just in case since I am bad at judging those things) + a couple of smaller pink and black spots. Rub in markings both sides. Dry+ frizzy end of tail, a bit less in the mane.
So, bait-ish condition.
Pony Bride: Ear has been chewed on, smaller damages also on the hoof. A small pink dot on the body. Rest is nice looking.

Mommy Apple Delight: Mane and tail obviously cut allover, pink mark on one side, black dot above the eye.
I have another one aswell that is uncut so both prices would be appreciated!
Powder: Markings rubbed on one side, eyes not perfect, a couple of small dots not very visible, body has a slight "sandpaper" feel to it.

UK Confetti: Slight loss of glitter from markings, small dot on the body, overall very nice.
Parasol: small discolouring on the shoulder and above one sides markings, eyes and markings are not perfect but good, overall very nice.

Baby Billie: Dry end halves of mane and tail, a bit miscoloured in mane and tail (possibly tail rust but after cleaning it is more yellowish), rub in one sides bunny-mark, body is not 100% same shade of colour. Overall ok condition.
Baby Fifi: White part of the mane is really thin, possibly cut or just worn off, the remaining white mane is very dry. Tail is also a bit dry. Small brown dot next to one sides cutie mark. Overall ok.

Baby Sweetsteps: Overall very nice condition, slight colour different over body and smaller rub on shoe ribbon.
Baby Firefly: Not 100% but would display lovely, not far from mint.

Surf Rider: Has got one lovely display side, on the other there is traces from a black permanent marker, rubs on fin, mane is a little bit dry at the ends. So overall quite nice depending on how picky you are.

UK Posey: A little bit cut in the front sling of the mane, goes pretty well with the rest. Miscolouring on the neck and a spot on the shoulder - could be pony cancer but I do not think so. A couple of not so visible spots near the eye.
Trickles: A bit rubbed in markings, a black spot on the leg. Overall pretty nice looking.

Would be very thankful for help!

Hi MLP-lovers! 

I am glad to be here and get to discuss these precious little ponies, and get to know you guys!
My name is Irene, I am a 30 year-old from Sweden. Besides the MLPs, my hobbies are my "real" pony.

I have newly revived my interest in My Little Pony. Have started on a smaller collection with my own old childhood ponies as a base (only G1). I would perhaps not really call me a collector- yet, there is a lot more to learn!  I love baby ponies but not really too much of the NBBEs, (just a few to be able to display some cute baby accessories). For now I am mostly not interested in getting complete sets, but 1-3 of the types I like. Will try to get some more Playtime Baby Brother Ponies,  Mountain Boy Ponies and Big Brother Ponies (I love those with clydesdale-legs) princess ponies, a few different baby ponies and lots of different accessories.
I like to feel I "use" the ponies and items that I have, (and not just keep them sitting), to create photo sessions for example. And I like having (preferably not to big-) renovation projects. 

See you on the boards!
