Who is this Giant G3?

[CopperBluJu]

I found my first pony at goodwill! Yay. I was walking out the door and thought this is silly of me I can't even find baits for that price, go get that pony! So who is this Styling pony and is it worth restoring her or can I peacefully bait her? Her tail is kindof cute and her mane ends at the same spot. I don't see any marks that look permanent.

That would be Cherilee.

Congrats on your first find!

Ponies in the wild! Always cool to find! She is such a cutie! Congrats on finding her.

The original Cherilee! She was never made in the normal size. I'm still kicking Hasbro for that one.

Maybe its the angle, but to me her tail looks like it has been cut.

Everything has been cut. Her mane only reaches her shoulders- I had to flip it to the back to get the camera to focus and to view the cutie mark.

Is she rare? HTF? Should I bait or restore?

She isn't exactly RARE, I'm not sure how much she is worth, but one with no marks (I keep finding them with their eyes destroyed) is harder to find. Maybe someone would be willing to trade you for someone in worse condition? I would call her uncommon- so if you like her, restoring her hair would be good. If you want to make a custom, do a little creative trading. (That's what I would do, at least- in the end she's your pony, and no one will set up a manhunt if you bait her.)
Whatever you decide to do, she's a good find- congratulations!

[Whippycorn]

Great find. She is the harder to find of the G3 styling size, personally I wouldn't bait her (but I might be biased because I'm still looking for one myself). If I was in the US I would offer to buy/ trade for her.

[hathorcat]

With the hair trims, I can understand a preference to use as bait. She is going to cost more in replacement hair than she is actually worth as a pony unfortunately.

She is certainly the harder to find of the group but even so she is a $6 pony most of the time.

I wish I could find her for $6 Hathor 

[Doedeardarling]

It usually isn't worth it moneywise to start rehairing G3s and seeing that she has marks too I personally wouldn't feel bad about baiting her. Besides, these large ponies make gorgeous customs.

Do you check out ebay? Her last 3 listings on there were a little under $3, one unsold at $5 and then another sold at $9. She can be up and down the $2-10 mark all the time but as her shipping can be pricey you should manage to snag her for a nice average. Good luck!

I think I must have just been searching UK Ebay. The last auction I watched for her ended at 20 gbp! 

If she is so cheap on US Ebay it might be worth the crazy shipping. Thanks for pointing that out to silly me.

[hathorcat]

Oh yikes! That is quite high for her. Shipping from the US can be painful but for some of the common releases, and because your purchase price is going to be under customs charges, it can work out worth while
