To bait or not to bait. That is the question

[lisey_baby]

So I got all my spare ponies out of the loft and I have a huge amount of G3's. My question is should I feel guilty baiting any of them, I know most of them aren't sort after or rare, but I feel bad baiting perfectly good ponies.

Opinions would be welcome

I may be a horrible person, but I consider pretty much all G3s to be baits even in perfect condition

This made me Lol!

I generally feel the same honestly.   One way I ended up with my bait stash was I had a whole bunch of g3s that I sold off for a month or two and whatever didn't get sold was converted to bait, but that's a little tedious.

Except for a few very rare and notable exceptions....pretty much.  For one, the G3 market seems to have really tanked and secondly, you can't hit too many thrift stores without finding gobs of them.  They aren't going "extinct" anytime soon.  If ever.

How I determine if it's bait:

Is it a Pony?
Is it made by Hasbro?
Will it ebay for less than $20?

If the answer to all three is "YES"..

OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!!

Muaahahaha!

Occasionally I poke around in wanted threads to see if anyone wants something if it's a pony I think is particularly nice, but usually unless it's one of the more sought after G3s, meh, just go for it.

Lol you guys are ruthless, maybe I have to much of a heart? Just debating whether I should put them in to my collection as I don't have them buuuuuut I have so many already it's crazy! I think I actually put them in the loft because I wasn't overly fussed by them :/

As everyone said I would bait them unless they are sought after! Hhaha if you have any nice whit ones I would be willing to buy a few if you are interested in selling?

Where's the best place to check if they are sought after?

I guess I'm too much of a collector to be ruthless enough. :'D The majority of my G3 collection, small as it is, consists of ponies I've bought as baits. Of course I bait G3s pretty easily (compared to G1s): a hair cut or stains that I can't remove with soap and acetone will make a G3 pony bait in my eyes.

If your ponies are common, and if you can bring yourself to do it, bait away!

Thanks for the link, will check it out. I think I have the same problem, most of them are just perfect, maybe slightly messy hair. I can't bring myself to bait G1's at all, unless they are beyond any saving!!
