A few people do that already.  Some will commission others to rehair their ponies, perform eye/symbol repaints and other specialist tasks.

Some people will buy lots of baity ponies, restore them and sell them for a profit. 

Many collectors are able to do simpler tasks by themselves, such as tail rust removal and sunfading.

If you have plenty of experience and examples of your work, I see no reason why you couldn't advertise your restoring services.

Its a lovely idea and you will find lots of experienced restorers over in the Customs Forum if you want to study how others go about it. :)

Can I ask, do you have restoration experience with ponies? Pictures of other ponies before and after you have restored them. And it will also help if you have trading/selling feedback - do you perhaps have this on other forums or on ebay?

Yeah great idea :) lots of people do it already, and there are just as many people ( if not more) who can't, or don't have time to restore ponies and have to give them to someone who can.
Thanks to SDS for my siggy and avi :heart:

Just remember if you are doing any transactions (aside from buying) on the Arena, you have to be at least 16 years old.

And what about selling/trading feedback history? That will help too.

As someone who has restored 100s of ponies, I would like to caution you. Restoration work involves more $$ than you can really make doing it. Plus the above questions. ;)
