Worst/Weirdest/Outrageous Ebay Auctions

[Baby Sugarberry]

Does anyone remember that person from the late 90s who would buy big lots of perfectly fine ponies and customize them into . . .

The seller hasn't been able to sell this one yet! It's pretty funny.

Dear skies, the poor thing.  It looks like it was rolled in sand. What's with the random cheek circle, and why would you outline in black of all things?  T__T  Granted there aren't many customs I like the look of (most of the modern ones seem to always suffer from overstuffed tail or rapunzel length hair or both) but this is just ugly.

I don't remember this person specifically but I remember a lot of perfectly good ponies getting turned into...erm...well, let's just say I preferred them as they were. But G1 were more plentiful then so nobody really kicked up a big fuss about it.

The price of Nirvana ponies is always mysterious to me. I know there are ponies in that category which have changed hands for thousands of dollars. I guess if it makes you happy and you have the money, then that's up to you. But I find it hard to reason out one plastic pony being worth that much money, even OOAK.

That said, I don't really let ebay auctions for Nirvana ponies surprise me. If it were a regular G1 baby for $5000 then it might be worth discussing, but I have seen other Greek babies sell for four figure sums. I don't pretend to know which Greek ponies are expensive and which are not these days, but although I personally think it crazy, its still within the range of what Nirvana collectors sometimes pay for ponies. When you see hairless South African ponies selling for $2000 then $5000 greek babies with accessories somehow seem normal...o.O.

...Or maybe not. But its well known that there have been Nirvana ponies which have changed hands for way more than $5000. *shrugs* Nirvana collectors are a different breed.

I wouldn't pay it, it's crazy money, but in context with the market in general, I think $1000 for a regular Peachy is much more outrageous than $5000 for a Nirvana baby.

Nah, I don't think that listing is all like "AUTHENTIC MLP!!", it's more like the MLP is being used as a generic search term since its a plastic pony. It's pretty common. Even people who know the names of their fakies will put that in the title, because it will get people to look at their auctions.

It's not a good deal, sure, but it's far from outrageous.

Okay...I can see that.  I would do it differently I guess.  Still, this is more weird than outrageous.  "VINTAGE HASBRO MY LITTLE PONIES PONY HORSE HAIR ANIMAL DOLLS" is still making me snicker.

Intereting bit about the number on the case though!

some common ponies (any gen) that look like they've been bathed in old grease and dragged behind a car on a rope

AHAHAHAAAA

The seller must have relisted that - the first title I saw said it was a prototype.

Oh wow lol

[uote] I remember one with half an adult sea pony being sold as a great pen holder. Wish I had screengrabbed it.[/quote]


O_o  Yikes.  I bet collectors were horrified lol

"Use them as a (2) pen holder!
Bury them in your yard!
Let a small animal use them for a nest! "

Oh wow LOL  That is crazy and kind of hilarious.  But that poor seapony man.

"slightly decapitated lol"

Does anyone remember that person from the late 90s who would buy big lots of perfectly fine ponies and customize them into . . .

Yikes!  OK they bought it they can do whatever they want with it, but jeez!  Why defce a perfectly good pony?

And is that just...marker?

Baby Sugarberry, I don't like the uber long hair as much on customs, either.

Someday I might like to hav a Nirvana or two.  But I would not pay that much for one.

I just saw in someone's feedback a listing for an auction for an evil eyed fakie that will *quote* "Eat your soul!". Pity the auction was so long ago there's no live link...I'd quite like to see this evil fakie of doom o.O.

I think it is.  Probably done with a Sharpie.  I'm sad to think what this pony looks like now. Not because they're particularly rare or valuable but no toy deserves to be deliberately ruined.  At least there's still the option of restoration or a better custom, unlike those ponies that got cut up into plant holders. X__X

Baby Sugarberry, I don't like the uber long hair as much on customs, either.

What really gets me is when they carve out a HUGE hole for the tail, like, half the size of the pony's neck, and it's just... pooping hair.  SO much hair.  Stuffed full so it doesn't even fall properly, just POOF giant fan of hair.  Hard pass.

[hyenacub]

LOL  Pooping hair, oh wow.  There's a mental image.  Both literally pooping hair, and what those tails must look like.   

[LadyMoondancer]

The sad thing is that's actually one of the less awful customs from that seller (yeah, seller not collector . . . I am pretty sure they didn't collect, but just flipped ponies into customs for the money . . . believe it or not people did buy them, which still blows my mind.)   Because usually she would have filled in the Pikachu cheeks with red or some other bright color, and same with the hooves.  But this pony, being wedding themed, escaped.

I always thought of them as the "OOAK seller" because they always put OOAK in their auction titles, and I didn't know it meant 'one of a kind' so I thought it was a screenname, lol.

The wedding pony there was apparently found at a thrift shop which is how she ended up on eBay recently. I wish I'd saved pics of some of the original (OOAK!) seller's other customs because they were wild.

I just found an auction for 3 MLP coloring books for the "low" price of $150.

[strawberrypony]

Oh my gosh its so cute though to me at least haha

[NightGliderSA]

Not pony related, but I found this by mistake a while back and just checked to see if it was still available. Someone is selling an (empty) diaper box for $100-00. There is another for $350-00. But never fear! This one does still contain 6 never-unfolded nappies. What a relief!

I haven't figured out how to post a screen shot, but a search on eBay for 'diaper box vintage' will bring them, and others, up 

Did anyone see this extremely flawed Mimic? I felt so sorry for her... ouch!

That poor mimic! D: I cant believe they said " priced accordingly" after mentioning the giant hole in her neck. How on earth is $78 priced accordingly    i hope she finds a loving home somewhere

That Mimic....looks dead to me. I mean, Mimic has bright, sparkling, green eyes. And that one's are just...dull and empty. It's really creepy. More creepy than the giant hole in the neck. It's like the zombie ponies got her O.O.

That Sunset Shimmeresque inflatable fakie is disturbingly cute.

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

Aww, poor Mimic. The listing has ensed to she's already found a home, hopefully her new owner can patch that up with clay!

[hyenacub]

  I didn't know it meant 'one of a kind' so I thought it was a screenname, lol.

I didn't at first, either.

strawberry pony it IS kinda cute lol

  This one does still contain 6 never-unfolded nappies. What a relief!

Ooo 6 whole nappies, what a deal.

Poor mimic!  I would not pay nearly thaat much for a pony with a big hole, no matter what the reast looked like.
