Trader & Shipping Support / do i just give up?
« on: November 10, 2022, 01:57:35 PM »
a few days ago i put up 3 regular listings, just your standard fare - keychain/badges, cheap, local and international shipping. went to bed after i put them up so i could finish the rest in the morning.

imagine my surprise when i woke up with an email just saying that my account had been permanently suspended!! within not even 12 hours of putting up some completely normal listings, suddenly my years old account with a completely regular history is gone.
i emailed them through their site and got a generic email back, and when i phoned after that they were similarly unhelpful ...

i don't use ebay to purchase particularly often and this was my first time trying to sell, do i just let it go? i've found another place to sell the items anyway... but i hate losing the option of buying on ebay just because of the reach it has :yikes:

For Sale - For Auction / [ON HOLD]
« on: November 07, 2022, 01:16:19 PM »
Spoiler
All are in good condition unless noted otherwise.

I also have some spare clothes, accessories and several large playsets in middling condition (need a good wipe down and missing parts) but I need to figure out shipping for them, please contact me for more detail.

Comes from a dog and smokers house however they have not had extended contact with either (separate floors of the house).

They have been stored in a loft for years so are probably a little dusty and need a gentle bath.

Please email me (email in profile) if I do not respond to a DM within 2 days

I can only ship on weekdays but I will get them out ASAP otherwise!

Will be shipped first class, but I will need to get a quote at the post office because the royal mail website is being super uncooperative!! I can do international shipping too.

Cost is broken down into £2 for adults £1 for children babies free. Families will come together by default but please let me know if you want one or two separately and we can discuss it. I can combine lots too.

Please let me know if this is an unreasonable price and we can talk about it, this is my first time selling :P

Customs / share some alternate rehairs?
« on: November 07, 2022, 03:19:33 AM »
hi all... i'm not much of a customiser but the alternate rehair threads were my absolute favourite when they were still going (usually in the corral but i think they would go better here) and now a lot of the images are dead so i can't look back on them :blush: i'd love to see some alternate rehairs from everyone here again! the most recent thread i saw is already locked. feel free to share ones you did long ago, they dont have to be new!!
bonus points if you tell us what type of hair and where from  :P
i'm thinking of rehairing a fakie i have just to test the waters when i have my next holiday..

Off Topic / Any keychain collectors?
« on: September 19, 2022, 02:07:57 PM »
Popping in with a random question... Does anyone here collect keychains?
I'm looking for a way to display them and I was planning on simply hanging them off pins from a corkboard (NOT piercing them!!) though I was wondering if anyone had other more elegant ideas? The ones that make up most of my collection are rather long so I can't use most of the conventional racks and most of them don't mount onto a wall anyway. I was thinking of decorating the corkboard before I put them on somehow but I don't have any ideas other than coloured paper >_<

I'd also like to see and discuss any collections... mostly I collect anime ones but I do like to pick up random ones from places I go to (as any reasonable person should given the opportunity :P) I'll dig out some pictures of mine to contribute soon though none of them are displayed.

hi all, i've recently been on a loft expedition and recovered a couple of boxes of sylvanian families toys. i've been planning on selling the playsets by themselves (though figuring out prices is another matter entirely especially since there are a couple of large missing parts :() and was looking for advice on what to do with the other misc parts.
i have a few complete families, but i have a few incomplete or not sure where they came from (i think they're standalone sets that i no longer have accessories for?) and i was wondering if combining them by animal type is a good idea even if they're not the same family?
i also have a lot of misc accessories and i was thinking of dumping all of them in one lot because there's just too many small pieces.
and just to be cheeky and ask one more question, any advice on cleaning? the playsets should be fine with just some scrubbing but what about the animals? im not sure how to clean flocking (and their clothes)

i know there are a few fans here (hopefully this is the right subforum) so any advice would be appreciated  :)

Wanted! / ISO: various g3s
« on: October 31, 2020, 06:35:16 AM »
Hi! I'm looking to reunite my childhood G3s. I'd prefer to buy within the UK, but I'm fine with anywhere as long as they're comfortable shipping. Also, I've never bought off the Arena before, so please have patience :blush:
I'm not looking for any accessories and I'm not too fussy about condition, but please no major haircuts or large/blatant staining. (eg it's fine if there's marks that are small, or ones that are close to the original colour. I generally display my ponies facing forwards, so the faces and hair being in good condition is most important)
The list:
-Cherry Blossom (preferably walking pose)
-Skywishes - both Ponyville version and brushable version are wanted
-Star Catcher - preferably the version that came with the dancing in the clouds VHS, as long as the wings aren't in too bad a shape (though i know from my memories they're hard to keep decent, so as long as they're actually there it's fine)
-Coconut Grove
-Honolu-loo
-Hidden Treasure
-Twinkle Twirl
-Breezie
-Desert Rose - i'd like if her hair wasn't extremely faded, but i'm not too concerned with it
-Cute Curtsey (the white one)
-Honeydew Hum
-Meadow Moon
-Azalea Bloom
i'm kind of fussy about the conditions of the breezies - please no missing parts! i've seen a few in particularly bad condition so i'm a bit concerned :P

I'm also looking to complete my Ponyville collection! (Sort of. I'm not collecting every variant) However I am not willing to buy them without any of the previously mentioned ponies because they're not currently that high in my priorities.
Spoiler
-Always & Forever
-Fair Weather
-Fantastical February
-Flippity Flop
-Lavender Lake
-Magic Marigold
-Merriweather
-Minty (any version)
-Ribbon Wishes
-Royal Bouquet
-Scootaloo (regular hair version, not the wig version)
-Shenanigans
-Skywishes (aforementioned)
-Toola-Roola 2 (pink with rainbow hair)
-Valenshy
-Wish I May
-Wish I Might
-Yours Truly

I don't have a price guide (I trust people here to not rip me off :P and none of them are particularly rare), and obviously I'm looking to buy them as grouped together as possible. I don't get on the arena much so just in case I don't see an email notification for a PM (not sure if that's a thing here) then my email is available below my profile for a direct line.
Thanks for the help!
These are my brief price checks however:
Spoiler
Cherry Blossom- auction with accessories (Seaside celebration) won for £5.50. Separate BIN price for the same version without accessories sold for £5.80. Both good condition. MIB sold for £11.60.
Skywishes - auction won for £1.70. Good condition. Others also in good condition range from £1-4 both in auction and BINs.
Star Catcher - various auctions won at £1-6. Cheaper ones had damaged wings and discolouration but ones on the upper end were in good condition. One with pristine looking wings was won for £9.
Coconut Grove - Various mint or good condition won in auction for £1-5. No recently completed BINs aside from a MIB for ~£14.
Honolu-loo - Various auctions won ranging from £1-3. A BIN of one in good condition was listed and sold at £3.50, and another at £4.
Hidden Treasure - Fair condition with some scuffs sold for £1.20 at auction. Full accessory set (with a faulty chest) sold for £6.75 at auction, however another one sold for £2, seemed to have worse hair. Great condition pre-owned by a collector sold for £4.50. BINs in good condition average at about £5.
Twinkle Twirl - Auctions without accessories in good condition ended around £1-3. Best condition was won for £3, £1 had missing magnets.
Breezie - Auction with all accessories ended at £6. Good condition auctions average £2-3.
Desert Rose - Poor condition BINs listed at £6-10. American BIN listed for $20, came with one accessory. Seemed dirty but not in awful condition. Faded hair seems to average about £5 sold. Ones with good hair have ranged from $10-20 from American sellers.
Cute Curtsey - One with carriage was won at auction for £4.60. A completely loose one was sold as a BIN at £3.60 and another carriage one was sold at BIN at £6.15
Breezies seem to average about £3-6 in good condition.
Ponyvilles always seem to be sold in lots so it makes it harder to average prices.
These aren't solid guidelines - just what I've gathered from recent auctions :)

Pony Corral / your favourite or most interesting/memorable pony dream?
« on: October 31, 2020, 05:00:00 AM »
im back to make a thread ill probably forget about :blush: but i just had a nap and had a neat dream, so i figured i should share and discuss other peoples dreams, too!

it was about a series of mlp shorts (about 3-4 minutes on average) produced in the 90s, typical lost media stuff - people would debate where and how it was released because there just seemed to be no info on it. it was called "the my little pony rainbow" and the cast was very diverse, with it coming between a time of gen 1 and 2. a lot of the cast were gen 2 designs (even ones that chronologically would not make sense to appear) with gen 1 ponies (mostly cartoon ones and recognisable early g1 ponies, and for some reason i DISTINCTLY remember up, up and away being featured as a pegasus similar to that one episode of tales. i forgot the name of the ponies who were in it, it's been a while since i've looked at ANYTHING mlp)
stylistically, it was pretty faithful to g2, with leggy ponies though it maybe had a slightly more (shoujo) anime feel. the animation was quite light/sketchy, like how 101 dalmatians is animated. overall, a quite charming look.
i don't remember the plot of the episodes, aside from one that was called rainstorm which was the one that featured pegasus up up and away. environmentally, the episode reminded me a lot of tambelon.

there was a lot of other little details, but with it being a dream, i don't really remember them. i did, however, have a false awakening in the dream and i was like "omg! i dreamed about this and it was real!". i guess my mind was making connections to that rainbow pony animation.

anyway, how about you guys? any cool dreams to share?

« on: June 29, 2020, 04:04:26 AM »

so far, i've shown him:
  • rescue at midnight castle
  • escape from catrina
  • the movie

you can recommend them on any value you want. think ones full of funny animation quirks/errors? i'd like to see :P or one you think is particularly good! (we were having fun with the animation. like what's up with all the ponies switching around in and out of jail in tambelon? :P)

Lady Flutter has a bit of a problem...

(No, it's not that you caught her after a bath. She wanted to show off her freshly washed mane and tail, actually)
You see, she has a bit of an addiction...

What's this?
There's something she really, really likes.

Why do you choose to hang out like that?!

Sea Breeze and Baby Ribbons and Hearts often talk about how she's fluttered off from her (cozy!) spot on the shelf.
Spoiler

But she's a bit too busy making new friends to notice.
She'll go to insane heights...
Spoiler

I'm not even sure how she got that high. I guess her wings are stronger than they look!

She's quite proud of herself.
And she even has a sense for ones hidden away!
Spoiler

Here we see Lady Flutter in her "natural" habitat, breaking and entering for her precious lights...
She's very excited, because she's heard talks, and senses a lot of her precious-es... hidden away just out of reach.
Spoiler

It's just a bit too dark and a bit too far... But she's determined to see these "Christmas" lights... although she's heard of them for a long time now, she's never seen them!


I think I better keep an eye on her during December - who knows what trouble she'll get into  ;)

(But I guess we can't be too harsh on her - after all, doesn't she just look so happy?)
Spoiler

I guess I'll let her wander around searching for lights in my room just a little longer... I can't resist that face!

((thought i'd try something a bit different and silly - sorry that they're all in spoilers, but they're all very long and awkward pics  >_<))

Pony Corral / A random question about G3 castles...
« on: November 11, 2018, 03:06:51 AM »
i can't seem to find the info, but did the rainbow princess castle (wiki says this was released internationally) come with the same accessories as the crystal rainbow castle (wiki says this wasn't released internationally)? it does look like it somewhat from the stock photos, but they're not always the best frame of reference (theres some accessories from crystal rainbow that aren't in the stock photo of rainbow princess, but that might be because it's just a stock photo)

trying to figure out which one i had, cause the only thing i have left are a few of the accessories... somewhere. it's entirely possible i had the crystal rainbow one since some family would travel a lot. but who knows :'D

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / help IDing an old toy? (plush keychain)
« on: October 06, 2018, 04:21:36 PM »
here's my impossible question nominee... a dalmatian (formerly, at least) toy i've had for 13-15 years now. i've asked around and done a lot of googling, but nobody can identify her! my boyfriend thought she was a snoopy,and so did others in various discords, but she isn't! memory is a funny thing, but everyone is sure she had spots - she just also has a fondness for water like swimming pools..
big pics under the spoiler:

while i've had her for a long time, she may be even older, as i got her from a seller in our town centre who basically ran her own miniature car boot sale... but i did see a brand new one around 2005/2006 after i got this one, from a different person, so my guess is 2002-2003.
