PC and advice for pink hair Argie Gingerbread

Ugh...I am with everyone else with Argies its such a tough call on whether she is a legit or anything from an original rehair to a current rehair scam.

The obvious option is as others have mentioned is her being a head/tail swap - can your seller give you closer up pictures even of the neck seam? The colour looks super close for it being a straight out swap but I also agree if they are asking for a high price its probably worth skipping on her.

I'm not an Argie collector for just this reason, but frankly, i'm also a bit of a risk taker when it comes to playing what i cal "Pony Roulette" True, the house wins quite a few times, but i've scored some pretty amazing AND genuine variants by taking the leap of faith!
A big part of Pony Roulette is going with your true gut, though, and not your head or heart. However, if you truly like the way she looks and she isn't too dauntingly expensive, go ahead and get her! If you're looking for an original pony as an investment to sell down the line and make money off of, though, that's when you just need to trust your instinct. Ask for as much info as you can get...where was it found, a pic of the inside of the head and backside, and go from there.
Good luck!!

I have to agree.. I unfortunately was also a victim of this scam (luckily the auction ended cheaply and so I got a good deal) but after looking inside the head of my Argie Pinwheel that had purplish blue hair, I did indeed see an odd hairline and hot pink hairs leftover inside..so she was definitely rehaired.  I have been meaning to commission the talented PKW again to restore to her original hair color, but she's packed away for now and can wait.

Anyway, I agree...when in doubt, stay away.  It pains me so to say that too because I LOVE Argies.

It is so hard to tell sometimes, especially with Argies when you know there are ones out there that aren't legit. I would go with your gut as well, however price can factor into it as well... if it's not too expensive then it can be worth the chance sometimes.
