Title: Hilariously Bad Pony Auction Photos?
Post by: Noasar on November 08, 2018, 01:20:48 PM
So I was stalking eBay the other day, as we all do and I came across some
hilariously bad, but quite endearing sea pony photos. See below XD

I feel like we should run a caption competition for them or something! They look like they either photobombed a shoot or just got out of bed :lol: seriously they had me stitches.

Has anyone else has got any other auction photos that are so bad, they’re good?

The top one is obviously "when you accidentally open the front facing camera"

 :lol: I'll be stalking this thread for sure, I've been browsing eBay what with my personal wishes and the holiday swaps, so i'm hoping to see some amusing pics from non-collectors.
The first one looks like she's standing on my chest when I wake up. Get out of my face!

Nevermind that this single pony was being sold for $300 dollars and being advertised as "Pristine Condition" with those dry ends, but:

Stop it, you're supposed to look AT the camera not AWAY from it! What am I supposed to be looking at here?

That last one reminds me of the half a sea pony being used as a pen pot and a cigarette lighter holder...

Oh no really?! Is this some sort of trend we aren’t caught up on?! It doesn’t seem like the best selling technique because you actually see less of the pony, but points for effort!

I think it is one seller... and they have done it to poor old Chief. Frills are not his thing.

And the trophy is just wrong. I mean who would ever, EVER, do that?! I saw that auction and shared it with our SA collectors WhatsApp group. I think it's Posey who was sacrificed though. On another track, what's up with all the auctions with just pony heads / bodies? What do people DO with the rest of the ponies?

I found these morning hair ponies, going for 20 bucks each XD way overpriced.
I don't know how to place pics tho, just imagine bad condition ponies witht their hair sticking straight up.

Replacement heads for restoration  :haha:
I don't know why I'm laughing, I once bought a (cheap) headless Princess Amethyst because I felt sorry for her....

heads have been used as an art medium before.  it's hysterically funny once you stop freaking out about the loss of the bodies.  ;)

this one is like, normally trophies are all majestic and RAWR, and this is like... Stoic Magical Horse.

If that's the seller I'm thinking of, they make cute accessories. I bought a PnP Sea Shimmer and she looks so cute with her little bow. Its a nice little extra impo.
