As a collector, I do not take repaired or repinked ponies into my collection. If it's not original, I don't want it. :/ my only exception is in the case of rare nirvanas or more HTF ponies. I had a Mimic who had been attacked by a kitty at one point and 1/2 her horn was gone. I had a talented customizer redo her horn and you couldn't even tell she'd been victimized.

These are good questions- I was wondering if there was even a "proper" way to mark an altered pony. Like is there a certain letter or symbol the pony is marked with if it is re-haired, re-glittered, re-twinkled, etc? I personally feel that an alteration usually de-values a pony, but then again I would totally understand not wanting to leave a pony bald or in a sad state. I don't generally collect restores, though I did purchase a re-glittered g1 Sparkler that I absolutely love
I have a few restored common baits (Blossom, Bowtie, Posey, etc..), they're marked and stored in a separate drawer and I find them useful as they're great for pony wear or whenever I want to display a pony in a sunny area without worrying too much about causing them to fade since my original collection is kept away in an oxygen chamber (i.e. my windowless collection room). I certainly agree with all the previously mentioned points though and I'd definitely be furious if I buy what appears to be an original pony only to discover that it's been taken apart or rehaired, those things has to be clearly disclosed and sold as such.
