Hidihi. Can I have a price check on Sugarberry below, please. Trying to weigh up whether she is better off decarded :P

Big ding in the bubble as you can see (like, totally smushed in over the pony) which has resulted in the plastic splitting in two places (see other photos below)

Back card a little faded but not bad. All four corners of card are fine but there is a crease through the middle of the card.

Bubble coming away from the card just a tad here (where the crease in the card is)

Ugh. Split in the bubble right over her ear, here.

And another lovely split under her chin...
Such a shame :(
Thanks in advance for any help :)

I definitely don't think it's so bad that you should decard her. I think you could still rather easily get $50-60 for her.

I'd think around $35, since there's a seller from Chile who always posts MOC TAF ponies periodically for $50-$60.

If the buyer of those auctions is in the US the shipping is around $20 though, or similar or more expensive for some other countries too I imagine, so the cost of those are essentially around $70. Best to sell within the same country in this case and I think it could fetch $50-60. She looks beautiful on the card. Many of that seller's are dirty and kind of bent around the edges (I actually have a lot from her and was kinda disappointed some were more flawed than pictured), although of course one could wait for one that looks really nice. Shrug.
Looks like she dropped the shipping to $15 recently, but her Sugarberry sold for $60 +$15 shipping to my area.

Ah, didn't think about that, thanks. :)

Thank you so much for your input so far guys! :)
I've just been doing some very close inspection of her and there are a couple of (small) scuffs/marks on the bubble and oddly, a couple of tiny black marks on an otherwise pristine pony:
(you can just see two little black dots next to the pony's nostril - the other black spot near the top of the nostril is a mark on the bubble)

I have an interested buyer so I want to be very sure the final price is fair :) :)
-
May I give hopeful bump? :blush: Hoping for a little extra input in order to sort out a fair asking price for her ;)
:flow:
-
I would pay at least 50 for her, if that's any help. She still displays really well.
-
Thanks, Hollowzero :)
-
Not too sure, but I would guess $40-$50 with all the issues. At least her bubble hasn't yellowed :)
-
I agree with the $50 mark! She's lovely still!
Decard ing her will drop her value to about $20 with acc. And back card.
-
Thanks, guys! Much appreciated :)
-
She is a cutie! I would have put her lower unfortunately. That's a lot of damage and cracking to her bubble. Yes she is certainly not worth decarding as I am sure someone will happily give her a new home but a lot of MOCs are not as valuable as they used to be and those in poor condition drop significantly if they are relatively "common" MOC.
She is an $80 when she is nice and minty and unfortunately due to the number of them that have been popping up recently her value has for some dropped a little. Such a smashed in bubble certainly drops her to half that value $45-50 I would think but you could struggle for the top end of that when there are minty ones floating around ebay for just $10 or so more.

Thanks, Hathor!
