I get why some people think it isn't a big deal, but what if someone is looking for a pony as a gift and don't know that it's only supposed to cost $10? Back when I was collecting Beanie Babies (back in the 90s, when the craze was actually crazy), a new one came out that I wanted and it hadn't shown up at Hallmark yet. Well, my dad was on a business trip and found one in a shop for $60. He bought it for me. I found it at Hallmark less than a week later for $5. I never did tell him that because I didn't want him to feel dumb for paying so much for it. I quit asking him to look for any new ones after that because I didn't want him to pay that much again.I think if people are misrepresenting, they should be told because when people see "rare" and a high price next to it too often, they start to believe that commons like Cotton Candy are worth their weight in gold. One of my customs got a nasty comment from someone because they thought I had "destroyed" a "rare and valuable" big brother pony that was "easily worth $125" and "now it isn't worth anything." Um...it was a 4-Speed that some child had chopped off all the hair and drawn on with a sharpie. I paid $5 for it specifically to customize because it wasn't in salvageable condition. The seller on eBay who accepted my $5 offer clearly understood that but there are people out there who just have no clue.
