How would you sell these tails?
« on: October 15, 2022, 05:44:11 AM »
Through the years, I’ve kept tails from ponies I customize and rehair. I have three sandwich bags full of tails and hair.

The first one is G1 tails. Most are labeled with the pony they came from. Then a bag of G3 tails. They aren’t labeled. Finally a bag of Styling Size hair taken from Pinkie Pie and (I think) two Rainbow Dash.

I kind of want to keep the G1 tails for when someone needs a specific one, but I also want to get rid of them.

How would you go about selling? As a lot? Each bag separate? Should I sell the G1 tails individually? (that seems a bit too tedious).

On the dark web of course.  :devious: :money:

Seriously, I'd advertise them to restorers and customizers one-by-one for specific color patterns, like if you've got a full rainbow tail. Would bunch up singular colored hair to sell en masse. There's usually someone who got a pony with a bad haircut.

I bought a “bag of genuine pony hair” on Etsy and it was like, $10 for a bunch of tails and some mane clippings! I would say that a buck or two for a tail sounds fair, but you may sell faster just by putting the whole bag up for cheap.

You might want offer tails (especially original ones) loose. Or you could sell them as a lot to customizers.

Do you have a spair tutti frutti tail by any change?

Thanks everyone for the replies and PMs! I guess I am going to sell the G1 tails individually. I’ll check for what’s been asked about and put up a sale thread later today or tomorrow with pictures.

That's a great idea, I'll be looking out for it too! I'm desperate for a white tail for Minty and a rainbow tail for Starshine. I could do with getting ahold of several of these to try and find the right colour match for the pink.

I also have a bag full of stuff i need to list soon.
