I'm looking to sell off quite a few things but I have no idea what to ask for them. If any of you could give me an idea, that would be awesome. If it's better to do an auction/bid event I'd like thoughts on that as well. Everything posted is in great condition and suffered little more than a few hugs and some dust. Here is what I have up for the block:
Build-a-Bear ponies:
Twilight sparkle with wings
Rarity
Fluttershy
Applejack with hat
Rainbow Dash
Cadence and Shining Armor with suit (would prefer they go as a pair)
The CMC minis (Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom)
Mini Spike
TY Minis:
Applejack and Twilight Sparkle
Playsets:
Rarity's Carousel
Twilight's Castle (it's the smaller one)
I also have a veritable mountain of other G4 things I will get around to posting!

So far so good on conditioning. Any suggestions on getting stains out of flocked ponies?

I guess I just need some tips then on how to deal with their hair and make it pretty again. I have the patience to clean them, might as well go all out.

Hmm . . . I think Shady looks pretty good overall. She's not missing major chunks, at least (besides the hooves, which is pretty common). And her beautiful hair helps her look nice. I wouldn't deflock her, but you could, since she's not super rare.
I'm actually kind of jealous of your Wind Drifter, because it looks like she has original curls. (Mine has the weirdest hair -- it's like . . . spongy). I guess it's frizzy and stuff? Maybe a good conditioning would help? Banana Surprise does look like her hair is worse, and maybe she has had a tail cut, but maybe conditioner would help her, too?
Yeah I just don't like the feel of the flocking on Shady, but as a display pony she isn't too unsightly. Wind Whistler is by far the one in the best condition, her hair is super soft and easy to comb and she's only in need of a bath. Time to get out the Dawn and a toothbrush. There were a couple fakies in here too and one of them just... I don't even... it is like... covered in oily stuff. Like literally covered. It's a tan-white fakie covered in brownish oil. Of course this means it got all over a couple ponies, but tried the Dawn on Whizzer and it seemed to work, though it still left a gross brown stain.

Actually I was very very surprised by how remarkably pristine some of these were, like near-mint condition. These were all clearly played with by someone's grandchild or something but it must have been one of those "Now don't cut off the hair, it won't grow back!" supervised visits lol. Wind Drifter and Banana Surprise are the only ones I would seriously consider rehairing, if only because their hair was so horrendously tangled that afterward all I could tame out of it was a giant poof of hair everywhere. Alright so here is the one I consider deflocking: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginHer flocking feels a little stubbly to the touch, like little bumps rather than a full fleecy feel. I compared how she felt to Surprise, who is the most intact flocked one. I can definitely tell that this one feels very different. Here are the pair I want to consider rehairing: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginFrizz and more frizz! Here are the others just for fun! Most of them need a bath/soaking in Dawn because some are strangely oily, but otherwise they are perfect! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Nice finds! Yep, the sparkle baby pony is (sparkle) Baby Firefly. The pink Mattel toy is a Little Pretty puppy, Melody. They were manufactured as rivals to My Little Ponies in the late '80s, early '90s. You mentioned that you have some others; do you have any kittens? If you're selling, I might be interested in buying. 
I do have a pink kitten and purple kitten, both were ones that I had as a kid so it was cool to see another like it at the sale. I won't be selling either of them, but one is getting a hair makeover so she can join my little collection. Thanks for the identification, I'll post pics of all of them tomorrow to show quality and see if any of them need a bit of saving.

Here are some ponies that I just found at an estate sale, all G1: Surprise (flocked) Clipper (apparently a mail-order!) Wind Whistler (flocked) Sunbeam Wind Drifter (funny looking to me, never saw these floaty ones) Masquerade (twinkle eye, surprisingly clean) A baby pony that has the same cutie mark as baby mischief, but her body is full of sparkles and semi transparent Banana Surprise Shady (flocked, though some is missing) Whizzer (really dirty) Sea breeze sea pony with lobster float Baby North Star Powder Alright now for the fun part.... the mystery ponies/creatures. There is the sparkle baby here, and the pink pouncing pony with little boots on its flank. There are also a couple bird things that oddly enough are Hasbro toys, never saw them before. The cat creature is a Mattel toy and I think I have a couple others much like it, can't remember what they are though. Last but not least, which of these ponies should I have no qualms deflocking? I like flocking, but it gets incredibly filthy and some of these look to be badly stained. Which of these should I have no qualms about customizing or refurbishing? Some I would love to rehair or alter, but I'll leave them as they are if they are valuable or collectible. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Yeah, sorry. I was expecting you to share your pony and your adventure making her!
I didn't take pics of my pony before shipping her off. o.o I probably should have! I completely forgot!

How cute! Loving those ponies! Mine still glows in the dark, and I used to have a bunch of glowy stars and things all over the place as a kid.
