Wanted! / HELP ME cover up a bad gift! Need TAF Baby UU&A!
« on: April 27, 2017, 12:58:02 AM »
Ok ponies,
For the second time in a row, my dear darling husband has tried very, very hard to get me a pony on my wish list as an outstanding birthday gift. For the second time, he's totally missed the mark. Both times he thought he was buying the baby TAF, and both times he got me a duplicate adult, for what he thought was a good deal. And he was SO taken in.

This year, he tried to get me TAF baby Up, Up, and Away. Instead he paid over $50 (!!!!!) for an adult one on ebay with a hair trim and it's not even pink hair. Gah. Not even an upgrade. He thinks it hasn't arrived yet because it's coming from the UK. So I'm hoping someone on here can sell me a baby UU&A so I can swap it out real quick!

I don't want MIP, or anything fabulous. Just the girl herself. Even bald is totally fine. THAT, I can fix. I have up to $50 on PayPal and tons of great stuff to trade. Can anypony make this happen for me please, so I don't have to let on that he failed again? I want him to believe he really got me something good this time!  :cry:

I get such a kick out of factory errors and funky looking oopses.  :lol: Here I've got a Humdrum with a bowtie and an albino blind bag with only one normal eye. :lovey:
Do you collect oopses? Let's see pics!

For Sale - For Auction / MintySocks' Sales ~ G4 Pearlized Brushables!
« on: February 07, 2017, 01:29:56 PM »
Hi everypony,
I have found some extra pearlized brushables so I'd love to help y'all finish your sets. These seem to be eluding a lot of people as the rebooted and GoH stuff comes out, and this wave is getting skipped over in many stores.

I'm in the U.S., I prefer PayPal. No holds please, just comment if you're ready to buy. I will also consider trades for stuff on my wish list.

$10 EACH, this includes shipping inside the lower 48. If you're international I can quote you a more accurate price. :)

Customs / I need advice on a Harry Potter custom.
« on: February 02, 2017, 09:56:06 PM »
So I made this. :) I've been trying to sell it as part of a fundraising effort to finance an adoption. I'm having a bit of a tough go of it, mostly tire kickers and people saying "Yay! Cute!" but not buying. So I'm reaching out to all you genius fellow custom arteests to find out what I could do for this girl to increase her curb appeal and make her irresistible. She's pretty basic right now, just left the hair hank-length. What does she need to look more finished? Anything? Just wait it out patiently? I set her at $35, is that a good price?

Pony Corral / Pearly brushables: bootleg vs. store bought
« on: January 30, 2017, 11:11:35 PM »
Hey everypony,
I just noticed there are quite a few pearlies up on eBay right now, coming directly from China, and they don't have that imprinted heart :heart: barcode symbol on their leg. (Personally, I think they look better without it.) They're definitely not fakies, and not different enough to be considered prototypes, but d'ya think this bit of differentness, this lack of techno-birthmark, will cause their value to be lower or higher than store bought? Would this matter to you as a collector whether your set had this mark or not? Curious to hear other opinions.

Direct from China:

Price Check Archives / Quick PC on some G3 babies?
« on: January 15, 2017, 09:43:11 PM »
How much are these babies (not purpled out) going for right now? I've been out of the game so long I don't want to say something scary to a potential adoptive parent! Lol

Pony Corral / How to sell a Minty army? Help!
« on: January 15, 2017, 01:10:33 AM »
Hi everypony!
I've amassed some Minty goodness over the years and I'm looking to part with these girls to raise money for an adoption. I'm tempted to try auctioning off the lot, mostly because photographing and listing each one will take ages. I've also noticed that prices are all over the place for every one of these. Nobody seems to agree on their value, especially on eBay! Should I keep them together or split them up? Any idea what price I could get for them as a lot? Thanks in advance! :heart:

Customs / What should this fakie bait become?
« on: April 01, 2015, 10:22:46 AM »
Found this silly girl in a car boot sale...
Want to customise her into a Pinkie Pie perhaps? Ideas welcome. I think I might be able to do something with that original mane but already yanked the tail and chopped the forelock. Should I just go ahead and pop her head off to pull the rest of the hair, or should I try to keep it?

Off Topic / Who made a New Year's resolution to become a better writer?
« on: January 01, 2013, 12:24:13 PM »
Gauging interest-- Tired of watching people slaughter the English language, or being fairly certain that you're doing it on a regular basis?

How many of you would take an e-course to improve your grammar and punctuation skills (or get a gift certificate for someone you think should take it)? It would involve optional skill building exercises and require no interaction. It would take just ten minutes, twice per week, to go through 24 simple, jargon-free topics that cover one skill at a time. It would also include 5 passes for the year, to ask grammatical questions or get up to a page of proofreading help. The cost would be a flat $30. Think this is something you or somebody you know would be interested in doing?

PLEASE NOTE: This is not me trying to sell stuff. I'm just trying to get a large number of people to respond with their opinion on whether this is a good concept or not before I even try to get it off the ground. Just looking for opinions! :heart:

Wanted! / MLP Backpack - full sized
« on: July 30, 2012, 01:33:06 PM »
In search of a full-sized MLP backpack for my soon-to-be kindergartener! I see the mini-sized backpacks everywhere, but I'm looking for regular ones. G4 FiM would be preferable, but I'm not opposed to G1 or G3 themes. I'd like it to be in new to excellent used condition please.

I'm looking to pay no more than $10 PayPal plus possible trades. PM me if you have something available! Thx so much. :D

Got one like this?

Customs / Tiny little heads... G4 rehairing tips?
« on: July 29, 2012, 02:15:37 PM »
Soooo G4 customizers... How do you re-root the hair on those little heads? I've customized G1's and G3's before, but I've been to scared to do a G4 because I just don't see how you pop those heads off and get a rerooting tool through those hard plastic little holes! Any tips for making it easier?

Head removal?
Original glue removal?
Rehairing process?
Applying new glue?
