ventaOops.
Frances just came downstairs to find me bathing My Little Ponies in the kitchen sink.
When I explained that I was only sprucing them up so that I could put them on eBay, she cautiously ventured that we might still be able to be friends. However, this was said in tones of one who is (a) making a great concession and (b) not at all sure it's the right choice.
They are now trotting winsomely (if damply) across the draining rack.
On a related note, does anyone know what constitutes 'good condition' for a My Little Pony ? Mine are definitely on the 'played with' side of mint.

My guess would be that light wear (slight scratches, irregularities in the mane, etc.) wouldn't disqualify a Pony from good condition. Bad stuff would be discolouration (anything from sunlight damage to felt tip stains), cracks in the surface (due to wear or age) or deformations to the soft surfaces (holes poked with compass points, chewed by dog, etc.).
