So I finally sat down and worked out what ponies I'm most looking for. Again.
I'm still reorganizing my sales and trade threads, so I'm mostly on a buyer's basis at the moment.
Can't buy it *all* right the now, but feel free to pm me, and we'll talk.
My eBay feedback as a buyer (under the handle sugar.lightning) is at 188 and my Arena feedback stands at +76 (no negative feedback).
I'm in Canada, and I'm happy to purchase internationally - hey, it's frequently less expensive for shipping than North American post fees. Go figure.
I'm not a
terribly picky collector. Except for So-Softs - flocking loss is beginning to really creep me out. Must have really fluffy So Softs - or darned close to it.
I do like my ponies to look nice, but after twenty-odd years and heavens only know how much playwear, I can fully understand some, um, baggage?
Hey, I have my share too.
Anyway, about the only things that make me say an outright
no to a pony are holes, missing limbs, looking like it's been used for a teether, oozing with rust/mould, or out-and-out burns. I can overlook mild marker, mild biro/highlighter marks, names/marks under the hooves, regrind, mild cancer spots,
mild chews, etc., and I can fix or live with a lot of other problems.
Thank you, Arena, for sharing all your knowledge about pony restoration!
On to the want list!
