G3 Anchors Away

[lovelauraland]

Hi all, I bought a bait box a while back and it had a cut haired G3 Anchors Away.
Question is, I want to sell her, should I re-root her before selling or sell as is?
I have no idea how much she would be worth either.

How severe is the haircut? I think a rehair and sell would be good if it's buzzed, but if it's not very severe, I would just sell as-is.

I've seen her go for around 15-25 dollars usually.

Sadly all cut off

How sucky. Sounds like a candidate for a restore for sure.

I've been seeing Anchors Away go for around $35-40 in great shape. I'd personally pay up to $20 for one with badly cut hair and other generally restorable flaws, but I haven't seen any in that exact condition being sold lately and can only speak for myself. I have no idea what you might reasonably ask for her if you rehaired her.

I recently bought a mint condition Anchors Away for $33 on ebay. I'd say if the hair is completely cut off, rehair it. I think you could reasonably ask for $20 if the hair looks similar to how it was before it was cut.

Thanks for the input guys, I’ll have a look see if I have the right hair.

Personally I'm a believer in restoration but I'd also worry that some unscrupulous seller might sell her in future as being in original condition. Hence why I try to keep restorations reversible and also a bit different. Sometimes I sign both my initials under a hoof (CM). In this case I might give her extra long hair instead for example, or an up-do to make it obvious that she's been re-haired. It will be nice to give her a new life on display.

That’s a really good point, and great idea!
I might do that, I’m also thinking of keeping her.

I love your up-dos. If I was as handy with a comb as you I'd probably keep her too! I really like this pony, I have one some where.
