This reminds of when I saw a Baby Ember on Ebay once and politely asked the seller if they were any flaws that weren't visible in the photos. I got a rude message back that basically said "It's an old toy! Of course it's going to be dirty!"Ponyfan
I haven't actually gotten many ponies off eBay (just a G1 lot years and years ago which were my first ever G1s), but I do browse eBay a lot for them. A big pet peeve I notice I have is when I see ponies with very easily fixable issues like surface dirt or a mark that can obviously be erased with a Magic Eraser. There seem to be a lot of sellers on eBay that are just too lazy to bother doing simple cleaning on a toy before selling them.Quote from: Ponyfan on October 17, 2017, 07:14:51 PMThis reminds of when I saw a Baby Ember on Ebay once and politely asked the seller if they were any flaws that weren't visible in the photos.

I mean honestly, I'm at the point where its too much work to keep listing every single teeny tiny flaw on every. single. pony. when I sell (on the Arena, not eBay). I provide an excessive number of high quality photos for buyers to look through though and of course list any large issues. But I don't blame anyone who doesn't have an hour to spend meticulously looking over one single pony and listing all the tiny things people might complain about.
Also, I feel like it's more risky to list all flaws meticulously and accidentally miss one than it is to not list flaws meticulously. Like, I feel the former is more likely to end in an angry buyer, as opposed to the latter.
