You got Rarity's Carousel with free shipping? Or are we talking about a different pony?

Hahahaha! I wondered the same thing when I first heard the word, An-gel...Taobao is kind of a chinese market where they sell one-offs, prototypes and ponies that are going to be released but haven't hit the market yet. It's kind of underground, but everyone knows about it, and they sell openly on eBay as well as some members here having private dealers. Taobao is how some people were able to obtain Minty A and minty B before it was decided which would be released mainstream. It's kind of a crap-shoot, though. Sometimes you get one that's just been found on Taobao and hope it's a prototype so it goes up in value, and sometimes people pay a pretty penny for them.
I remember when sparkley Wysteriia first appeared people were paying a LOT for her, and now anyone can have one so...meh. It's like gambling with ponies, i guess :)

At the time a lot of people took a gamble on the Taobao releases as not actually hitting shelves retail - hence why they ran a little expensive.

I agree with Lorelei on Sweetie Swirl; she has recently absolutely swamped ebay because of Taobao and Chinese ebay sellers; she used to be really expensive but now loose by herself she is a $8 pony.

Ploomette runs higher due to a very limited release in a handful of European countries but again a lot of Chinese ebay sellers carrying her has helped lower her down. $12-14 [basically the value of the bonus pack].
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I got my Sweetie Swirl thanks to.... ^^^^^ Hathorcat! A massive TaoBao order worked out as £8.00 for her (I think, Hathorcat?) and roughly the same for all the other ponies on the order. I don't mind settling at ~£8.00 per pony since RRP for a single pony here is £5-£8 depending on where you shop.

I've stopped buying from TaoBao just because their random ponies are so weird now, but I adore collecting the true 'freaks' that had the wrong symbol/eyes on an otherwise normal pony. :)

Ploomette I'd put at about £10 over here just because I've never seen her.

Thank you all for the help so far.


How much do you think I should buy a MIB Ploomette pack for if I'm in the USA from a USA seller?

That's not bad, that's what I paid for mine :) Some people paid $60 when she was first released XD
