Ponies you regret buying?

Any ponies you regret buying? For me, I'm not too sure...

I had a baity Sweet Stuff I bought, that I regretted. Major mane cut and pvc breakdown. My daughter has her now and wants to send her off to a customizer to turn her into a TE Daddy Berrytown. We're both getting replacements.

Okay. Glad you guys are getting replacements.

Can't say I have too many, just ponies that ended up being worse off than expected. I picked up a lot that was incredibly mixed in quality, so now I'm stuck with a baity Majesty and don't feel like buying a new one...

I regret paying $75 for the SDCC 2010 exclusive graffiti "Pony Power" pony. She's not even the aqua hair variant, regular 'ol purple. Oh well. Still love her!

Big Mac!   I think I dropped him in the parking lot on the way home from Target.  Didn’t even get a chance to debox him. 

I’ve been so grumbly at myself for that, I can’t even look at him in stores without remembering and walking away annoyed.

August Birthflower.  I'm actually happy to have her (that's my birth month so she was the only one I wanted) but I think I overpaid, because she was my birthday present to myself last year.  One of her symbols had more rubs than I would have liked... I probably should have held out for a price a tad lower.

I bought a MIB taf baby up up and away. I’ve never wanted to open a pony more in my entire life, so she stayed with me for a week and then she went off to eBay. The market was bad for selling, and I listed her 5 times with a buy it now of $150 OBO. After weeks of sitting on eBay I finally accepted a best offer of $75. I was devestated that she didn’t sell for more since I traded some really great ponies for her and in the end I lost out of $$$.

I regret it more now that the market is stable and taf babies prices are fetching good dollars!

Mimic.
She was listed as 'no marks or flaws', had ink under her hooves. Got a partial refund but it still bugs me.

One small regret! Bought a pony I was pretty excited for, overpriced but I didn't care because I liked the seller and wanted to support them... got her home and found a huge, obvious haircut. >.< Like, it sorta looks like she has one of those feathered Farrah Fawcett haircuts; it's all different lengths, even if technically it still wraps around her neck and looks halfway decent if you don't look closely. I think I paid like $23 for her, and she is NOT a HTF pony. I figured, $23 means I'm paying for a super high quality pony! Nope. :x OH PHEW I went back and I checked cuz I was mad all over again, I paid under $10 for her!! Phew!! Okay I feel better now!

Hmmm, I don't think I could say I've regretted any purchases, but I have been disappointed a few times. Most often because of G4 hair quality- some ponies I've bought have hair that feels awful, which always makes me sad. I still like their colours enough to want to keep them though.

Oooo! Me! Me! I regret buying 25th anniversary Windy. Not for the pony herself - she was $6 - but because the seller did not ship to SA and I had to use the reshipping agent. Well, they have introduced a "fantastic new money-saving product"! Hooray! Read: Using the Post Office. It cost me $25 to post that pony (who I have not as yet received), and I did not have a say as to whether or not they used that 'wonderful new product' or the regular boring old run of the mill courier. Which was what I wanted them to do. As it costs the same amount of money and takes 2 weeks. Now I have to wait 3 months. RantRant. I'm still so upset >.<

Guess who will be closing their account once the pony eventually arrives?

I would say my pony regrets fall into 3 categories: I paid too much for the pony by not knowing the values well, the pony I got was different than pictured, and ponies I buy online then soon after find in the wild

I've had several instances where only a few weeks after paying market price for a pony I find one at the thrift store or garage sale haha so I feel like I wasted that 10-20$

Most recently I bought a Dainty Dahlia from someone I've purchased from several times, she isn't the best seller (poor pictures, often priced over market) but sometimes she has decent deals. Anyhow the dainty Dahlia is so rough, hair cut, discolored in several ways, pen mark eyeshadow etc. So I quite wish I hadn't bought her haha...

My second takara.. patience meant I could of gotten another for a fraction of the cost. But I got most of my money back with selling her (and replaced her with the cheaper one).

But REALLY -- more than that-- it's all the little $1-5 ponies that I bought because "pony".. I felt like I was drowning in ponies, they were hard to sell, and that just adds up. That bothers me way more.

I've never regretted buying a pony, but I've regretted paying too much for said ponies.  It's one of Murphy's Laws though, isn't it?  No matter how long or hard you shop for an item, as soon as you buy it you'll find it on sale somewhere else for a better price. Happens more often than not, I'm afraid!
