I'm back after a few years away and am planning to sell the rest of my childhood pony collection. I have a complete Lavender Dream Castle. Everything in it comes from my childhood, except 1 purple goblet that I purchased. It is identical to my childhood goblet so I'm pretty certain it's original.
Being so rare, I don't even know how to price it. Would it be better to sell as a set, or split it up? Most accessories are in NM/excellent condition, except as mentioned below. I tried to input actual photos into the page, but Photobucket was giving me trouble, so I've only been able to link to the album below.
Condition Issues
Playset: lots of glue yellowing, top and bottom hinges on one side are broken, flag stickers have some age spots
Throne: bottom portion has a tag of plastic breaking off (not visible on display), small black dot near pony on front, pink felt has small discolorations (impossible to photograph)
Goblets: one is bent
Spike: small discoloration at corner of mouth, small paint rub to right foot
Cape: small discoloration spot (haven't tried to clean)
Damsel hat: elastic is frayed, ribbons were put in so the knot it in the middle instead of the end
Brush and Comb: I am 99% sure that these are the right colors. I always kept my childhood collection separate from my "new" collection and before I sold anything, I checked colors of everything against the wiki, but I can't 100% guarantee that they are the right colors.

It’s a beautiful playset.
Honestly, I would sell it all together.
Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, which for this playset is a LOT.
I would start bidding either on eBay on on here at $600 and see where you go from there.

Could you take a picture of Spike's underside? I'm very curious to see how he compares to a Spike that I thought miiiight be from lavender Dream Castle. I'd love to find out if I was right or not! :)
Mine had a convex (bulging outward) circle on the bottom of the figure, while most Spikes I've seen have had an indented circle instead.
