eBay seller liquidating custom collection by other artists

[Aadra310]

At any rate, I'm sorry Aadra310 that it hurt your feelings to see one of your ponies in there-  I don't think the seller meant to hurt your feelings *HUG*  It does appear like the seller values all of the customs highly and has taken very good care of them.  Better that they go to another person who loves and values them than end up at the thrift store or broken in a box at the bottom of a closet, right?

Oh, it didn't really hurt my feelings exactly.  Maybe for some of the more complicated customs I did later it would have.  I was just more shocked than anything and kind of upset for reasons I can't even truly pinpoint.  Irrational woman makes her appearance!  I've calmed down from the initial surprise of it all and I'm totally fine, now.  There are some other swap customs of mine out there that I would truly like to get back if given the opportunity and I guess that's what the crux of it is... I'd like the opportunity!

In any event, I'm not begrudging this seller and I won't stop doing swaps.  I just had a little rain cloud pass over my corner of Ponyland but it's back to sunshine and rainbows!

Not related- but I do LOVE how you did that little felt hat, nice job there!

I would so much rather see my art for sale than at a 2nd hand store or in someone's "look what I found in the dumptster!" If you think about your customs like paintings it seems pretty reasonable. Art gets sold/bought/traded constantly.

I did not get to read the Ebay auction listing, but I know that back in the day I had commissioned a stunning set of MGR custom ponies from Woosie including a Bubbles version. I had to sell them (for personal reasons), but I remember feeling incredibly guilty about it because they were made especially for me by someone whose art I really respect. I treasured them. It was horrible. I remember crying when I packed them up. People's situations change and while we like to think we are giving our ponies a forever home sometimes there is a more immediate, more important need and luxuries are the first thing on the chopping block. I am sorry it hurt your feelings though, I imagine I would feel the same given the situation.

When I took a long break from the hobby I rehomed all of my customs. Most of them from swaps. I tried to contact the artist first, but honestly it was easier to just sell them in the end. I know theres ponies I've sent out in swaps that was sold. It doesn't really bother me.

there's only one custom i'd actually get pretty upset if it was sold.
a swap i hosted a while back. the person i sent my custom to, well they disappeared and never sent their boxes. if they sold the customs i sent them. that would probably make me mad, since they never sent anything else to anyone.
i don't care that they keep them, but i don't think they should sell them. feels like cheating.

*pouts* I've been searching and can't find these!  Can someone PM me a link please? I even tried 'moondancer custom' to find that alternate pose one, and no luck.

I agree THOSE people should send their customs back.  That is never cool.

If someone wants to check them out- there are still plenty left.  I will link the seller (I think that is okay) so you can check which auctions she has- just search by pony.  Very cute stuff!  *link removed per site rules - kkat

I find this topic a grey area for me in general. I have given customs to people as gifts and I am sure they were put in a dumpster probably. :/ All I have is my pictures and some that I never got rid of.
