You ever go "man...I wanted that!"
« on: October 15, 2013, 02:46:37 PM »
Let me explain. I found a grail pony of mine on Ebay that needs some restoration and bid. I noticed the seller had a few other decent ponies that were low so bid just to kinda combine shipping there. I like to buy in lots normally anyway if I can. These other ponies were ones I've wanted but not so bad I would just die to have them. Anyway won my auctions all but one and got my grail. I'm super happy. Now I'm also "dang I missed that one! She would look goo beside the others..."  Lol not that I need her or was dying to have her just that last minute gimmie! Ever do that? :lol:

I'm having such bad luck with eBay at the moment.

I'm trying to get accessories for 3 play sets. I found a buy it now for a 1st place rosette for the show stable, lost in post.

I was outbid at the very very last second on a Spike and 2 horseshoes for the castle. (I only need 1 shoe)
I was thrilled when I was given a second chance offer on it.....lost in post.

2 auctions for plushies have been ended early. I totally forgot about a third, missed it buy 30 seconds.

I'm trying to collect all the ponies I had as a child. I was watching a sea pony for days, out bid again at the last second, by 20p or something stupid. The other bidder had already outbid me on the other 2 ponies from same person. Still not sure how they managed it, auction sniper maybe?

The only good thing was winning a Bluebell for 99p!!!! Yay! She has initials written on her feet, but I do not care!

Yeah, sometimes I really hate eBay : /

All the time :c
But, there's certain circumstances when I show a friend a listing and they buy it. Even if i wanted it, it makes me happy knowing a friend has it.
My one friend has a beautiful Wind Whistler and my other friend has a really close to mint condition Star Glow. It makes me happy.

Tons!!  I bid on a lot of stuff, and sometimes I forget to watch the auctions.  Occasionally I win, but when I lose out on something I kind-of wanted, I tend to obsess a little  :blush:

For example, there was a pair of MH prototype shoes I wanted and bid on.  They were cute, but not a pair I needed to have.  I lost the auction in the last seconds (after being the only bidder for 6 days!) and I was immediately disappointed.  So much so that I tracked down another pair a few days later  :lol:

* High Flutter reads OP's post.

No, not really.
I don't care for things that much.

*cough* AHEM. *cough*

In a place such as this, I'd say 100% of people feel the same way  :)

I'm trying hard not to look at eBay, because I know there are only a few (dozen... *cough* hundred... *cough*) more ponies I have room for, or have a place for.
No I don't actually have room for a few hundred more, and I certainly wouldn't know what to do with that many!!

That being said, I could give a looooong list of names I would love to have & can tell you exactly where they will go.

But seeing a pony I really want & adding others to make up the shipping is a quick way to the poor house.  :-(

All the freaking time! Sometimes Ponies run up SO high I'm like; I can't afford that! Shoooot! And then someone else buys them and I'm totally bummed  :P
