I've rehaired and repainted Argies in my collection. I think restoring poinies to sell is kinda weird? I guess there's a market for it. But if I sold ponies, I wouldn't bother and let the buyer choose what they do with it. But as far as ponies in my own collection? Heck yes, I'll restore them. They're mine. I can do what I want.edit: Also hi! I remember you, you did some art of my ponysona
Maybe seeing refurbished as opposed to restored is what threw me off. It felt weird to see a bunch of (what are commonly understood to be rare) ponies with new hair and paint. I know there’s a market for that but I’m also very wary of anything without a neck seal. [cut for length]
Oh I definitely agree any work should be disclosed. I just think if someone would probably get more for a fixed up common pony then they should be able to and there's people who would appreciate it.

The fact is that as a seller you can never 100% assume the market. If you don't restore a beat up pony, it will put off some buyers. If you do restore a beat up pony, it will put off some buyers. The trick is to try and gauge which option puts off the most buyers, and given the cost and work hours that goes into restoration, it doesn't make good business sense to put that effort in when you can't guarantee a sale at the end of it.
