A thought/question crossed my mind about Ditzy Doo & Comic Con...

[svleonard]

Ditzy Pony Hooves is quickly becoming a headache.  I was able to get one at the Pony Fair in Orlando because I bought a fair membership package that included a pony.  However, I promised my bpff who couldn't come with me that I'd get her one at the fair, and they sold out before I could even get in line.  I can't go to Comic Con; my bank account is already protesting from Pony Fair.  So I go on Ebay to try to find one, and the cheapest ones are marked up 250-300%!  I even saw one for over 150.00!  These scaplers make me so angry, and it certainly takes the fun out of pony collecting.  I don't mind paying a bit of a markup for something rare and hard to find, but I refuse to pay a 700% markup for a piece of mass produced plastic.

Give her time, she'll come down on ebay.  Prices always soar right away because people are afraid they won't be able to get her. 

When LS Rarity first came out, she sold for over $500, and then quickly dropped to about $75 a piece once her numbers truly began to reflect online.  She eventually went back up a bit, but it will probably fluctuate for the next few months for Ditzy Doo.

I learned my lesson last year by waaaaay overpaying for the exclusive poster. I made a vow that this year I would wait a few days for my SDCC pony item rather than snatching up the first one I saw. And Ditzy's price is already dropping and probably will more so as this days catch starts to appear.

I don't think what I paid was too terrible, it wasn't crazy expensive. I want her soon, as a birthday gift to myself so there's that too. c:

Sold out within 30 minutes of the first queue? That's crazy o-O My dad's plan was for us to leave the house at 7 AM, get breakfast, and head to the convention. It took a lot to convince him to go that early, but looking at this I'm wondering if it'll be early enough or if there will already be too many people waiting outside.

[Ren-Ren]

I got impatient and decided to try making an offer on an eBay one, but at a lower price than I expected a seller to agree to. To my surprise they accepted so I guess I have one coming, heh. Perhaps it was $5-$10 more than I might have ended up paying if I had waited another day or two, but I feel it was a pretty fair price for both the seller and myself.

So don't be afraid to make offers when you notice the option available    

@Zenobiaa: Yes, unfortunately that will probably be too late if you're hoping to snatch up a Ditzy. Prismatic was in line at 5am both days to get her items (Ditzy one day and Scarah Screams the next) and just barely obtained them, from what I understand.

I'm frustrated about this whole thing. I had ordered one from a Taobao reseller, and they screwed up and ended up not actually having one to sell me after I'd placed my order. By my feelings by all rights I should already have one, and probably I never will. T_T

[dxgirly]

bah. My seller still hasn't responded to my question..... and neither has the person that presold me Scarah. buuuuughhh 

[Molybdenum]

I had convinced myself I wouldn't actually end up with one but I was so happy when my friend emailed me last night telling me that he had one for me. A lot of my other friends at the con haven't been so lucky yet. It's always been a little crazy but this is insane.

[Dragonflitter]

You're lucky Molybdenum... I had a break up right before the Fair, where someone was going to get Ditzy for me. Then I was on a list here to get one from someone going to SDCC and I felt a little bit better, even though I've been really depressed about everything lately. But because of the extremely limited numbers available, the person here had a limit to how many she could buy, so it doesn't look like I'll be getting Ditzy after all. Funny how life has to kick us down further when we seem like we've hit rock bottom.

My seller hasn't responded either. 

I reeeeally hope they came through for me and are just having too much fun at the con to check their messages.

Got the same problem. Send my seller a message two days ago and i still got nothing back.

[StarlightGaze]

No response from mine either.

I was afraid I'd end up with 3 Ditzys considering I bought one on eBay germany( bagged taobao one) as well as preordered one on US eBay + asked a member here to get one for me. The preorder fell through so I got my refund and it looks like the same will happen with the member one too. Oh well I'm glad I got 1
