...I found this on eBay a while back and it still makes me chuckle.

Huh, it shows up for me?  It's a G4 MLP: The Movie Twilight Sparkle and Spike pack, attempting to be sold for 4,000$.

Did it work? :o

Some of these have got to be typos, and either they have so many auctions they don't notice and/or can't be bothered to change it or...I dunno!

With a few of the older Comic con G3 ponies Hasbro actually had them ‘graded’ and certified and put in the clear plastic cases. Then Hasbro sold them from their website at a $75-$100+ depending on the grade given. So some of those are actually legit auctions, the seller likely paid Hasbro an inflated price and is passing those savings onto us.

Eventually Hasbro realized pony collectors did not care about the grade system and stopped doing it with the ponies.

@Cloud Dreamer : Yup, that one is definitely showing. Ohh, my, that's impressive. x)

Oh jeez that Mimic is super spooky. O.o Her eyes really do look dead! It's like you can see the eternal scream in her eyes. I hope her, erm, stoma got fixed up by whoever bought her!

Also, that custom... god. I know people can do whatever they want with their ponies but a small part of me dies inside when I see G1s or G2s customized like that. Any pony really, but those are so much more uncommon now. Especially the part about her most likely being a flipper, that rubs me the wrong way even more.

LOL  Stoma.  Nicely said.

I agree about the flipper.  It's like...damn.  Give a crud about the fans you'r selling to, at least.

Woah, that Mimic!! I can definitely understand why she sold for $78, though; too high for me, but considering Mimic is going for $100-150 anymore (leaning towards the higher end of that), that's a relatively affordable Mimic. Just pop some pony wear on her, or a thick choker, and she'd look great! (I still gotta wonder, why the jagged edges? Was it - rats?! Did rats garrote Mimic?!!?)

I'm super curious to see these "OOAK" customs now, because probably 7 years ago, I bought a 'beater lot' of customs, and a lot of them were just WACKADOO! And many of them had their original hair, even, or the hair was painted! Like, with acrylic!! So now I'm wondering if I inadvertently ended up with some of theirs... xD

[hyenacub]

That one is explainable.  On some other FB sales stuff I see, sometimes they just put the numbers 1-6 or whatever because they have to put some number orr other in the "price" section.  But they are either taking offers, or each one is a diferent price, or other things other than just a single price.  It took me a while to figure that out though!

[LadyMoondancer]

Yeah, with Facebook sales post you have to put in a number for your item.  If people have a list of ponies to sell they just put in a random number and list the actual prices in the body of the post.

[LadyMoondancer]

LOL, that's pretty funny!  "Try to guess the ponies' price . . . go on, try."

[hyenacub]

That...is weird, all right! lol  I guess it's like a game show.  Guess the price and win a pony on The Pony Is Right!

[Leikin]

The one that springs to mind was the tiny pinkie pie notebook....

I remember that one. I actually mailed the seller and asked if it was a typo, or what it was that was so special about it.  They answered it was their daughter that had set the price as she was the one seling, and that they where saving  for a trip to disneyland. They had told the girl it would likely not sell for that price, but she had insisted. ^^
