I hit a thrift store last week, and found nothing in the toy bin. There are a few things that have been in there since I started going there. I'm pretty sure my hairless McD's Sparkleworks would've been there if I didn't pick her up. I'm pretty used to finding only one pony if any, but while waiting for my mother and my sister to do whatever they were doing, I spotted the basket behind the counter. I asked them if it was for sale, and took it home for about $1.50. She's in pretty sorry-looking condition, but she seems like she'll clean up nice. The plastic part is all dented and misshapen, making it hard to tell it's supposed to be round. There's a break in the plastic in the handle, making it flop however it pleases. The plush is still attached pretty well and is generally pretty clean, but needs a gentle surface cleaning. There is a small snag in each nostril; other embroidered areas are fine. The hair needs a brush and condition, but isn't too frizzy/damaged. The entire thing is pretty dingy, with a couple minor stains here and there. I might get a picture. I've skipped over this on every list of plushies I've been through and have never seen a picture, so I was wondering how much it was worth. I also want to know exactly how to go about cleaning and fixing it. It's a nice basket with cute fabric and I'd love to see it look nice again!

Oh those baskets are cute and they can be popular as well. I would just go with a surface sponge wash or baby wipe wash - it should get rid of most issues without causing any issues. As for price $8ish assuming you get the right person looking. Sometimes G3 merch or plush can take its time to sell unfortunately.

Thanks a lot!
