Title: Is this what I think it is?! South African AppleJack! +PC
Post by: sacred_tinker on March 17, 2023, 08:51:07 AM
Hey guys!
It's been AAAAAGES!!! Anywhoo! I'm still alive. I kinda fell out of MLP collecting with my collection being back in France with my parents, while I live here, in South Africa.
SOUTH AFRICA you say? Why yes! I've been here for 8 years now and I have been looking for Nirvanas but they are impossible to come by... until today that is!
I just purchased this lot of ponies and will pick them up tomorrow morning.

Am I dreaming or does that look like a South African Applejack??!? And in such minty condition too! :faint:

If it indeed is a South African Applejack, how much do they go for nowadays in this condition?

Oooh nice! Yes that is South African Applejack, I would give her a tentative price of between $800-$1000.

Oh waow!  :blink:
Thanks for the price check pinkkittywinks!  :biggrin:
She is in NM condition! Her hair is still so crunchy new. She does have a few tiny scuff marks here and there all but one which can be easily removed with some acetone. But I will leave that to her new owner.
Do you think I’d get a the best price for her on eBay or simply here on the FS forum? Would I be allowed to share an eBay link on the FS forum?

I'd give her a wipe or a very light wash and leave any marks to her new owner if you plan to sell her.

I am honestly not quite sure how active the sales forum is here, I'm not too confident with how stuff is selling on eBay either >_<, people may want a payment plan I don't know how confident you are with those. There is a fair bit to consider as she is a high end sale.

Please have a read of the MLPArena sales rules here: https://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=379346.0

There is some more nirvana specific advice (high end value) here: https://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=365632.0

Please look into tracked and insured shipping, don't under value her on the package as you can end up in trouble with customs or if the package gets lost you and the buyer won't be able to claim her value back if you have been dishonest.

If you do put her on eBay, yes you can share the auction link here :)

Thanks for the advice. Someone notified me about a Nirvana group on Facebook so she is currently on auction there (ends this Sunday 16th April).
Here are some pics after her bath!  :inlove:
