Well there you go. One pony at least worth $20 or so-The rest of the ponies... probably less than $10 each. I will confess that I did break down and email the seller with the names of each ponies, and let her know that they are not "Twice as Fancy" or "mail order" - I tried to be as kind as possible since maybe there was some kind of listing error (like maybe the original or intended photo was of 6 MIB baby mail order TAF ponies... which would appear to e the only reasonable explanation for the price) Have you heard back?

I am honestly perplexed why he would relist without even correcting the clearly inaccurate information. So I guess it wasn't the wrong photo after all. Just some guy who thinks his old ponies are worth a fortune. You do run into them every so often. It always cracks me up when I get someone at a yard sale wanting a fortune for some common pony like Firefly. "This is a valuable collectible MY LITTLE PONY" I'll here. Um, yes, but... not THAT valuable lady. Like $10 valuable on ebay, tops- and generally people want to pay a little less at a yard sale...

It's so disappointing when people are this money hungry. What's sad is some beginning collector might get it not knowing better. Its all just money and no research.

It's so disappointing when people are this money hungry. What's sad is some beginning collector might get it not knowing better. Its all just money and no research.Frankly I think he would have a significantly higher chance at selling his ponies if he would just call them by their REAL names. I think even a "beginner" collector can look up "TAF" or hopefully do some price comparisons and realize this guy is out of his gourd.

It sold
Quote from: caseysealia on October 01, 2019, 07:03:59 AMIt soldLooks like they fixed the image? Assuming the one I've found is the same listing.edit - Oh oops no I searched using the phrase "twice as fancy" and it was an actual TAF listing by a different seller. I found the one in question now... almost $100... yeah that's too much money...

Um, yes, but... not THAT valuable lady. Like $10 valuable on ebay, tops- and generally people want to pay a little less at a yard sale... I had someone literally look up prices of something on ebay, right in front of me, when I expressed interest in it at their yard sale, and rejected my yard sale offer, claiming she would like basically ebay price. Guess she realized they weren't as valuable as she thought and took em back inside.Also this guy should be reported for fraudulent listing/information.
I think German Tiffany was worth at least $50, but I'm not positive. I don't think it's a bad price as Starglow regularly sells for $50 as well. Princess Sunbeam is also there and she has all her tinsel forelock . . . I would think she'd be worth about $15 - $20?

So the final price wasn't bad. The whole situation still irks me though...

The person who bought his ponies probably wouldn't have even done so if not for this thread pointing out German Tiffany and Starglow
