Peachy.  According to eBay sellers!

This!
I saw an e-bay auction a couple months ago for a "Super Rare alternate coloured Snuzzle" and... It was Peachy.

LOL! now that'S a good way to market your ponies

I only think certain ponies are hard to find because I either can't find them when I'm looking for them or they are waaay too expensive!

[Baby Sugarberry]

I remember one flea market seller who swore up and down that all unicorns were the "males" and thus worth more.  Needless to say had a great laugh over that one.

This thread is hilarious!! You guys are cracking me up ... alternate Snuzzle, LMAO!!!

My experiences around here? ALWAYS fakies!! People trying to convince me they're RARE My Little Ponies because their feet don't say Hasbro.

It takes a special kind of con artist to come up with that one.

These stories are funny!  When I first started collecting G1s a few years ago, I thought baby applejack from the UK was rare. LOL.

I agree with Mimic, she's not any harder to find than many other ponies, just more sought after. Like a 'status' pony. She's easy spotted in heaps of lots of ebay.
And I know people that cottoned on to me collecting and showed me what they have. Maybe they expect me to want to buy them? One guy in Otago pulled some old ponies out of a box when I asked if he had any and I got them all for $15. So every time I went back he'd offer me fakies, g3s, ponyville, all for inflated prices! he didn't really know what he was selling, just thought it I'd paid for the others, he'd try it for these. Well, the $15 lot had a Mummy and baby Berrytown and a Mermaid among them so I figured we were even.

icecrystaline-  I did not know that they made actual mermaids!  Exciting.  Maybe she has one    

And now I am doing the very thing that Tiggums warns against .  Re-ment is so awesomely cute tho!

[Tiggums6]

well rainbowstars, I did get me a MO Mommy pony for the princely sum of $200....that was nice to wake up to...

How about *every* pony auction I see lately is listed as "super rare".  I saw one for a vintage rare G3.5 Pinkie Pie....LOL!

[Unicorn_pops]

Yep, ebay keeps getting funnier and funnier. I guess people think if they put "Rare" in the title, it will sell.

[Pangel]

I think one of my favourites is ponies whose symbols have simply worn away RARE NO SYMBOL PONIES!

There was once a seller who tried to convince me that her Bowtie was rare because it had a fabric tail. I tried to point out that it was probably donated by another toy, but she was having absolutely none of it.

I had the blank white baby pony.  I actually even drew on her (thankfully it washed completely off).  I also had mail order star hopper.

Ugh there was was one bloke at a bootsale I went to...I saw a G3 Wysteria in really grotty condition. I picked her up thinking she would be great custom fodder, expecting him to say 25p or something. No, he wanted a fiver for her. Swore blind she was a super-duper really rare pony from the 1970s, one of the original ones; seriously I swear this bloke thought the poor pony could crap gold. Needless to say Wysteria got left behind!

Did you point out that this 'super-duper really rare pony from the 1970s' had a stamp on her hoof listed 2002?
