MLP Acquisition - Feb 2021
« on: March 01, 2021, 02:38:04 PM »
Yup, I only bought one My Little Pony in February because I wanted to spend more money on my Bakugan toy collection instead. Fortunately, it's an awesome pony I've been wanting for months, and there's a funny story involved.

Chief is my favorite US male pony, but unfortunately, I couldn't find or catch active listings of him on eBay in good condition... OK, there was one option. I kept stumbling onto a fairly long-standing listing of a scuffed-up, although certainly salvageable Chief for... $80. EIGHTY. DOLLARS. No accessories, AND dirty! Oh, don't worry, the seller eventually discounted him to $70. What a BRILLANT deal, right? No.

However, the listing had a "Make Offer" button to negotiate the price. I had nothing to lose, so I sent a $25 offer and politely explained how grossly overpriced Chief was. You can imagine my absolute shock when the seller responded quick and nicely, and we settled on $30! I was so sure judging by the first impression they'd be stubborn or unfair! I left positive feedback.

Spoiler
G1 Chief
Condition: 7.5/10 - His mane has a thinned plug, but it's great hair otherwise! Although they're not too distracting, there's faint blemishes and odd blue stains scattered on his body. He might be an 8.

He looks great! That's a hefty discount they agreed to! Sometimes I think people just throw these high prices up to see if anyone will bite. 

The only new pony I got in February is Confetti. She was more yellowed (almost a peach color) than the pictures let on, and the jury's still out on whether the cleaning job I did on her will whiten her up or not. I think she's on the list of ponies who don't sunfade well, so I don't want to risk turning her brown.

That's awesome! Good for you for using the "make an offer" option and getting a good price on your pony. I'm glad it worked out for you.
