Mommy Bright Bouquet value?

[PrincessStarlily]

What would you G1 experts say a loose Mommy Bright Bouquet is valued at...? My friend lent me hers to clean, and I wanted to give her an approximate price. (I don’t expect her value to be over $15, but I could be wrong)

I don’t have any pics, but she’s moderately dirty (mostly surface dirt—I’ve still yet to clean her). The only marks I expect to last are
 

• a pink highlighter mark above her DS eye (any solutions to these type of marks?)
• possible tail rust staining (I’ll do my best to remove it—it’s not very noticeable anyway)
• a bit of play-wear/ingrained dirt on her hoof rims/ear tips

She has Daddy BB, too--what is his value, and what is the whole family's?

So, any input? I’d like to get an idea of her worth before next Monday (March 26), if possible. Also, would anyone have any idea if her particular price will rise somewhat in a few years?

Many thanks in advance to all answers!

In and around the $5-7 mark...she comes up with reasonable regularity and its been a long time since I saw her higher than around $7ish - she is the least expensive of the family...

If you can get rid of the tail rust stains [toothpaste should remove these] and if a magic eraser and good scrub clears the bulk of the in grained dirt then around the $5 max for her if you are stuck with the highlighter...the pink highlighter is possible regrind which is simply impossible to remove as its the plastic breaking down..if the pink highlighter is ink marks then sunfading should hopefully reduce or remove depending on how serious....

As to whether her price will rise? In theory, yes I suppose all G1s are likely to increase in value as there will reach a point where people stop "finding" and selling them on ebay...there isnt an infinite supply. But a lot of ponies have dropped in price in the last few years - a combination of economy and that some ponies were hard to find suddenly become a little more common...but we are not talking massive jumps in price, maybe a few dollars more here and there...until the world runs out of Bright Bouquets to sell and everyone is in a collection I wouldnt say her price will go too high...

Well I don't know her value really, but I paid like 10.00 for mine and that included shipping so maybe she was around 7.00 new..hmmm and she is in mint condition with no flaws.

Thanks, guys    That sounds right about where I was expecting her value to be...
 
And thanks a lot for the cleaning tips, hathorcat! 

EDIT: She has Daddy BB too!! She thinks she has the girl Baby, but she's not sure since she hasn't found it

What is the value of a Daddy Bright Bouquet...? As far as I know he doesn't have any tail rust...
