Trader & Shipping Support / Should we include mercari sellers anywhere?

« on: December 31, 2021, 01:46:10 PM »

Just got a package from a seller on that site that did not match the description or photos (looking now they strategically hid some breaks). I’m keeping it because I still think I can use them but I’d like to be able to warn any buyers to ask for current photos or ask questions.

Pony Corral / Have I mentioned this community is great?

« on: December 02, 2021, 10:00:58 AM »

Sometimes I forget when I’ve been away for a while but this community really is something else. I adore like 99% of the aspects of it, which is quite rare.
Special shout out to sellers/traders for being so professional. I don’t think I’ve ever had a late shipment or any funny business without legit reason and great communication from the seller. That is definitely not the case when I collect in other communities.

Hearts all around.

What is something you love about this community?

Customs / Recycling my post: a good airbrush?

« on: November 15, 2021, 09:42:53 PM »

Okay, I wanted to wait until she was mine to ask the community about her. I grabbed this gal off ebay the other day.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I have some info about her from the seller but if anyone recognizes her I'd love to know more. I know she was created by Elizabeth Brookman and is possibly from Canada. She's also about 20 years old.

Girl is in rough shape due to time and I'm sure back then we weren't exactly using the same customizing processes that we are now. Depending on what can be done when I get her I'm considering trying to clean her up or maybe redo her? That's why I'd like to know more about the intent behind her. The seller couldn't find her old tag so theme wise and name wise she's in limbo. The best I can figure is maybe futuristic carousel?

I'd love any input.

So, I’m thinking a good airbrush would help out with repairs. Any suggestions for a good newbie airbrush that won’t break the bank?

Pony Corral / Best places to buy

« on: November 13, 2021, 03:03:33 PM »

My apologies if this would be more appropriate in the sales thread.

I’m actively buying again for the first time in a long while and I’m curious if there are other good places to check besides eBay and Etsy. Certainly you can find what you want both places but the inflation seems pretty bad right now. Thought I’d look for some alternatives.

Friend of mine suggested Mercari. Anywhere else you like to haunt?

Pony Corral / Refurbished? Also, HI!

« on: November 07, 2021, 09:16:24 AM »

Hey everyone, it’s been ages!

I realized I’ve been pretty out of the loop for a while. Pony value seems all over the place and I’m curious if anyone knows the deal with the refurbished ponies on eBay? I’ve just never seen that label used so I’m not sure how we’re using it in the community. I was under the impression that shouldn’t be done with rare or uncommon ponies? I know so little these days

Customs / Retro bright?

« on: May 31, 2017, 07:33:22 PM »

Hey everyone,

Long time no see. I thought I'd pop back in and I brought a question with me. I've been watching some restorations of computers (of all things) and I got curious when I saw retro bright. I know how we used to do things when we needed to fade ponies or wanted to brighten up our whites, but has anyone tried using retro bright? I'm curious if the results are good.

Sorry if this has been addressed in the past. It's literally been years since I've been on.

Off Topic / casual gaming sites

« on: March 10, 2015, 07:46:22 PM »

Hey guys,

Long time no see. Well, I lurk once in a blue moon but I haven't been really active in a while.

I'm back on PI and I'm curious if anyone knows any similar sites with a casual edge to them. I like to play but I'd like to be able to do things more when I have time, so maybe less of the waiting game.

I checked the rules to see if it's alright to ask about other sites and didn't see anything, but if it is my apologies. I frankly have no idea what's changed.

If there's already a thread and I missed it, I'll get rid of this one.

Thanks!
