bait dilemma

[Eluluu]

hey everyone, i was prepping a pony for a custom ima get done, i wanted something in a serena/tic tac toe pose, which we were gonna prime and paint to white... so i started deflocking a scrumptous i had on my shelves that i wasnt too attached to (she was in decent shape but she was white which was awesome as it would be easy to repaint) well halfway thru mutillating her i swore when iw alked by the shelves... shes in the wrong pose. =[ not terribly off the mark but definately not what i was looking for. i needed serenas more delicate/shy pose for what i had in mind...
 
i didnt want to bait out my tic tac toe or serena cause TTT is mint and serena has those medallions on her so grr... i went online to check the G1pose guide to see if i was forgetting someone and saw Scoops listed as the pose... AND shes white! perfect! i was pretty sure i had her, as i remembered havin a white and purple taf that i wasnt super thrilled with... so i scampered to my shelves, giddy that theres a $5-10 pony i can use for it... but no scoops... turns out what i have is a Love Petal, in pretty good/great condition (tips of her hair are starting to think about frizzing) but the guide has her listed as being closer to $15, and the prices in my book are usually lower than the real thing-yay economy...
 
so now i have a choice to make, do i butcher this second good condition pony or do i try to trade her for one in worse shape for it? OR even better- does anyone have a white bait in the serena/tic tac toe/ scoops pose theyd be willing to bait-swap for? i have tons of G1s in my bin for sale/trade/bait
 
o and i also now have a half deflocked scrumptous if anyone wants to bait swap for her too lol. her eyes are removed but her symbol is intact still. if not ill finish prepping her and toss her in the bin.

Why are you "butchering" *any* good condition G1 pony?   
It's not like they grow on trees; there's a limited supply and using good condition ponies for customs is wasteful. Why not try an ad here on the arena asking if anyone has a baity Scoops to sell?  She's common enough that it shouldn't be hard to get ahold of one. 


Love Petal is rare (as are most of the Year 10 ponies) please don't bait her.

i know thats why i started this thread in the hopes of finding one. and honestly the scrumptious had her fair share of issues with stains and whatnot, i only baited her cause i thought shed be the perfect match for the custom. and id rather not bait the other one cause she is in good shape, im just hoping ill find another and wont have to.
 
trust me im usually very finicky on what i want to use as bait, i bent my own rules this one time and of course with my luck it wasnt the pose i had in mind- not sure how i missed it ugh
 
lol and shes not really butchered, shes just at that halfway stage of deflock that looks ratty. =P
