I too have been back to MLPs as I have so many from "The Olden Days"
Yes - I always tidy up my ponies to list for sale.
Yes - I always give a detailed description noting any marks, dry hair etc. etc. etc.
Yes - I always offer safe postage, registered, express postage etc. etc etc.
I have listed some about a year ago, and was sad to see them go. Thought I should list some more for sale, but yes - pony sales have changed. Collectors are not around any more - modern people have too many other distractions with all the technology about.
Sad but true - I many just have to leave them and let my family deal with them when I am gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(trying to list some this weekend. WILL post overseas if asked - $40 most countries- Australia $11 - $15 Express postage. YES postage is the killer!!
