most definitely NOT bait! even if you don't appreciate his condition for your collection, someone likely will!most of the Big Brothers are getting age spots, it's just their plastic. and mismatch is such a finicky thing.
I've been really lucky so far in that most ponies I have purchased are actually in better shape than I anticipated based on the pics shown in the listings. Don't get me wrong; I've received a few in appalling condition (stinky brownish Posey with tail rust, I'm looking at you!), but I've known how bad they were going in, as they were listed in a bait lot where there were at least a couple salvageable rarer ones I coveted enough to make the purchase worthwhile. If anything has made me disappointed, it's a few of the ones that did show up in better-than-anticipated condition that I purposely purchased as bait for projects, and then when they arrived in better shape than I expected, I felt too guilty to chop them up. So now I have a lot of duplicates I don't really need, and never made my customs. Oh well...it's kind of a good problem to have, I guessI suppose there was that SS Heartthrob that arrived with a few small brown spots (rust?) in her fur that the seller didn't disclose, but I wasn't too torked about it, as it was the SS Ribbon she was paired with that I was after, and she was mint. For the price I paid for both, I couldn't have found a Ribbon by herself in that condition, so I was okay with it.Glad you got your situation with 4-Speed worked out with the seller. That must have been frustrating.
4-Speed is unfortunately prone to pvc breakdown, and the seller shoulda been honest about his condition. I hope you get your money back. Sorry to hear they tried to gyp you.
There have been the 2 MOC ponies badly packaged that came off their card in transit :/ One was Movie Star Wind Whistler. Obv. I still have all the pieces and in that case the seller partially refunded me the difference but I've never replaced her :/There was also the person in the pony community who lied about sending a package, claiming it got lost in the post. They later sent a 'replacement' lot of custom hair which turned out to include some of the lamer items from the 'missing' original lot.When I tried to complain about it she threatened to have her (then stationed in the UK) boyfriend come and 'sort me out'. And she and a friend of hers started some rumours about me on the trading post claiming I used my mother's health situation to 'get sympathy and trades' and a bunch of other things that were not true. I was only 18 at the time and it freaked me out big time. Fortunately both these unpleasant individuals are now gone from the community, but at the time they were tolerated because a: they had a cult of fear and b: people wanted the girl's customs and so turned a blind eye to her other antics. In hindsight, given the wider context, I'm pretty sure it was a targeted attack since the 'friend' had been trying to get me to remove Italian ponies from my website for months before this so she could have the only Italian ID site. Sounds so stupid now in the days of multiple sites, gallery, wiki and whatever. But at the time it was scary.On a more neutral note, there was a lot of MOC items packaged in a box of soft toys loose as packaging. But they arrived in ok shape, and the ones I wanted were thankfully not damaged.
