Removing, yes. Like basic removing of dust and dirt (there's no value in dirt!) removing rust out of a tail with some toothpaste and cleaning out the gunk inside if a rare pony is nasty and moldy. Baking soda treatment to remove a foul smell like cigarette. Hot water to remove light frizzing.Replacing, hardly ever. I have replaced hair on a htf/rare and sold her as a re-hair, used the proper colour and replicated the cut pretty well. She went quickly and for a better price then I would have gotten for a bald pony- well she was almost bald. what little hair she had left looked like a moldy brillo pad. I did only fix her as I planned to keep her myself. Then I found her replacement in a box of ponies at an auction.I don't like ponies with paint touch ups or reglued neck seals myself, so I don't do that to anything I sell.
I've never had any rare ponies come my way so I wouldn't know But if I DID.... I would try to fix them up best I could I saw an Ice Crystal with a total rehair and a few marks still sell for over $80 on ebay I would much rather have a rare pony rehaired than one with yucky hair or a bad hair cut. Repairs on ponies make them look better whether they're rare or not

Repairs on ponies make them look better whether they're rare or not Hey, I saw that Ice Crystal, too! If it were me, a lot of it depends on how rare, how much cleanup and if there's any chance on me re-selling or if the pony would always, no matter what, stay in my collection. So:Yes, always, on cleaning - inside and out if needed - and defrizzing. I'll take out ail rust if needed, too, and I'll recurl.Repinking is a go if I plan to keep the pony and if (s)he isn't too rare. I might reprint a Satin and Lace. I would not repink the MO Mommy pony, however. I'm undecided about Tornado. I would rehair if the pony is staying in the collection.I would probably not repaint/touch up unless the pony's looking pretty awful.
