Today I was browsing this thread by Sarah-Bee to see if I was missing any ponies in my growing Sundae Best army. And indeed I was, I don't own a single Sundae Best pony with a Pat. Pend. stamp. So I tried to do some research, but couldn't find an answer to 2 questions that I have:

- Is there a Pat. Pend. version of green haired Swirly Whirly or purple haired Coco Berry?
- Is there a "Made in Hong Kong" version of those two?


And could you please post me pics of your Pat. Pend. Sundae Bests? I'd love to see them!

And when we're talking versions: Are there NC versions to all the 6 SB ponies? Or only to some?

4 weeks ago I purchased Mexican Peppermint Crunch from Ebay - well, I guess I overpaid a bit, but that was okay since I really wanted this pony for my Sundae Best army. So I waited and waited and there was nothing in the mail. (The seller is located in the UK, I'm in Germany.) On April 17th(!) the pony was finally marked as "shipped" on Ebay. So I wrote a message to the seller, asking if it was true that she sent the pony about 3,5 weeks after my immediate payment via Paypal. She responded yes and that she was sorry, someone in her family had died.

I thought: well, that sounds fishy to me, but I didn't want to judge her. So today the pony arrived and I can only say that she was misrepresented. On the picture in the auction she looked nice and I know that the condition of Mexican ponies can be quite bad. The seller stated that she was in "gorgeous condition" so I was tempted. I guess that was a bad idea: several streaks of her mane are cut, the head is nearly loose and there are stains on the symbol. I'd say she is in okay condition, but not gorgeous.

So I wrote a message to the seller stating that I'm not happy with the pony's condition. And she is playing dumb! She said that she hadn't seen any flaws, that she looked totally fine to her. But the haircut is obvious and so is the loose head! Even my fiancé, who has no knowledge about such things, said: "Look at her head!"And I know that the seller buys and sells ponies frequently, so I think that she knows very well about collecting and the value of ponies. I also searched her Ebay name here at the Arena and found out that she seems to like telling stories like the one with the loss of a family member.

So, what should I do now? I'd like to keep the pony, so I asked for a partial refund. In my first mail she didn't answer my question about it, so I asked again today. If she doesn't respond properly in her next message, I think I will file a case against her.

What do you think? Am I right to do so? Am I a bad person for thinking that she is lying to me and playing dumb about the pony's condition? And what would you do?

Any advice is appreciated - thanks in advance!

Could anyone give me a price check? How much will I have to spend to get her in okay to good condition?

Hey there,
 
I could really use some advice in this situation, so I thought I should start a thread here.
 
In the "old" Arena I was looking for someone who would sew me a G4 costume. So I opened up a thread with what I was looking for and two members replied. One of them was very friendly and did a great job. She shipped fast and I really loved the custom! (Thanks again to Bugle. ) The second one was a bit slower to reply, but because the price she asked was really okay, I also paid for a second costume. That was back in November!
 
Well, time did go by and in December my payment came back from Paypal. I wrote a message to this person and she told me that there must have been someting wrong with her Paypal account or e-mail address and if I could send the money again. I did and she messaged me that the money was there and everything was okay.
 
2 months passed, again, and no message from her. So I messaged again asking about my custom. She told me that she had seen my post where i had shown my other custom from Bugle and that she assumed I didn't want the custom anymore because I already had one now.
I must confess that I was really angry at the time. I didn't feel like I had done anything wrong or did I? It's not a crime to commission more than one person at the same time to do the same custom for you, right? As long as you pay for both of them, which I did of course. So she kept my money? Really? Shouldn't she give it back to me if she wasn't doing the custom? And she could have messaged me to ask whether I still wanted it or not!
 
Well, so I wrote that of course I'm still interested in getting my custom although I already own one. She said she would get it done in the next few days and would message me when it was shipped. That was a month ago in the middle of february! I haven't heard from her since then, she hasn't read my last message to her and apparently she hasn't been her since February 25th.
 
What should I do now? I can't get my money back from Paypal because it has been too long since I paid. Should I leave a neutral? A negative? Should I wait a bit longer? And how much longer should I wait?
 
And another problem is: I'm not sure if something like this has happened before. I think I might have read her name in the Trader Support in the old Arena, but as you can't search there anymore...I'm simply not sure about that and I don't want to say something like that aloud if I can't be sure of it.
 
Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
 
I'm looking for a nice Baby Quackers. I'd prefer it to be still white without any haircuts.
 
Do you have one for sale? If so, please message me or point me to your sale thread!
 
I'm located in Germany by the way and I have Paypal.
 
Thanks!
