Title: PC on combs - Merry Treat and Tornado?
Post by: Starshinescustoms on November 04, 2016, 01:35:51 AM
Hey :)
I was just wondering if someone could possibly give me a quick price check on Merry Treat and Tornado's combs?

Merry Treat's: Great condition, no broken teeth or chew marks etc
Haven't got any pictures of this one yet as I've only just come across it in with my spare combs!
Edit: I think I've just found her original ribbon, too. What would they be worth together?

Tornado's:
Pictures below :P - One tooth broken but still hanging on by a thread, minor(ish) chew marks, visible in picture:

Definitely looking to sell them, I don't have Merry Treat  :P
I was going to list them on ebay but would rather sell them to an Arena member if you're interested :)
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow

Back around the beginning of the year, I got a price check on a bunch of accessories, and was quoted about $8 for Merry Treat's comb and about $2 for her ribbon (it's kind of a golden yellow if I remember correctly off the top of my head).

Someone please correct me if this has changed!

Sorry for the late post, my dog was ill over the weekend and the charging cable for the camera has been missing for a couple of days (finally found it tonight). Why does everything go wrong all at once  >_<

Anyway, here are the pictures of the comb and ribbon. I'm not sure about the ribbon, but I remember that it came with the comb when I got it in a lot a couple of years back. To me it does look like the ribbon I've seen in pictures of MOC Merry Treats, but maybe someone else can confirm?

Bump - Thanks ClawleenMeowlen :) With both the pound and dollar being so changeable lately I have no idea what that would be now lol. But it helps, thanks :D
Anyone else got a rough idea?

I'd say $8ish still for Merry Treat's comb, give or take, especially now that the holidays are nearing. It's a unique comb and comb-collectors want it :) I sold one once but I can't remember what it sold for (not more than $10); it did sell individually on Ebay, which is a significant achievement for a comb.

Merry Treats' comb was also a comic giveaway gift here in the UK as well as with the pony (if you had it without the pony from somewhere, that might be how) so it might also be of interest to people collecting those. I don't know if that affects its value or not.

$8 has traditionally been £5ish in conversion but the recent changes may make it up to £6.50, which seems a lot in £ even if it doesn't seem a lot in $USD. It's really hard converting and pricing at the moment when most pony valuation is in $. I would say around £5ish would be reasonable if you were selling it in the UK, but I'm guessing based on the valuations others have given and the fact that even if the exchange rate has changed, it still depends in some way to what market you're aiming your sale. If you want to sell it in the UK, well £5 in old money and £5 now is the same thing, essentially. If you want to go abroad, you might get more for your £ worth, and a better conversion when turning the money back to £. Now is a good time to sell in $USD if you are in the UK, but a bad time to buy in it. If that makes sense.

Is Tornado's comb still available? I may be interested depending on the price you decide. :)
