 Jan 09 MLPcollector_Lea
 This member has a habit of selling MOC ponies and taking months to ship. She has recently left members hanging with no communication and no ponies. She pops up every so often to sell a bunch of stuff and it seems problems happen every single time. She has always rectified it until now, although it frequently took a Paypal dispute to get her to ship the items. As at April 2010, items remain owed to a value of approx. $150.

Update on Hollybeary aka Hollybearyhopper:
She is now selling ponies via this site: http://ponyology.com/products

A new group recently popped up on Facebook for people to buy & sell ponies. I saw this person posting about her ponies for sale & knew her name was familiar as her real name is very similar to her ID previous ID.
