Introductions / Re: Hi, I'm new!

Nice to meet you, and what an apt username! That's a great collection in such a short amount of time, wow! Even some so soft ponies, I love those ones!

The forums here are very friendly and cozy, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Welcome!  :good:

Gosh, these pony designs are everything I love! Shiny, lots of color, outer space, plastic-antenna-doodads... I can't get to the post office today on account of snow, but I'm definitely writing a letter! (Plus those wonderful giveaway prizes are definitely good motivation, if I can make the deadline in time that is! :P)

Thank you everyone for bringing this to attention and organizing this effort! It's really exciting to hope that our interest will be noted!

These are soooo cute, I love your art style!! :lovey: I can't afford to bid on anything now, but I'm definitely a fan! Although, it appears your links are broken! I was curious to see how much it would cost but I'm not sure where the link is trying to send me, just fyi!

Even more great advice! I'm learning a lot, thank you all so much!! :accomplished: Be thorough, but keep it short. I could always just add "Message me for more pictures/descriptions" or something like that so I can have the option to be thorough but not clog up my post. The bullet points are a good idea!

I don't think I'd have any issues shipping overseas, so long as the buyer is willing to pay the shipping costs. Is there anything I should be aware of when it comes to international shipping? All I can think of that would be a problem is the shipping prices. I have a friend in the UK that I sent a gift to once and while I love them dearly, I'll never forget seeing that postage cost...  :drunk:

It sounds like using a box is better than using a padded envelope, to keep the ponies from any undue damage. Is that the best way to go, do you think? Then again, a padded envelope sounds like it'd be fine for a single pony so long as she's sturdy/secured enough. And the built-in bubble wrap would help protect against any water damage I think.

Also, can I ask what to do about the pony hair when you package it? I recall once buying a pony and she came with paper towels wrapped around her hair to secure it to her body. Some of my ponies have straight hair and others I gave them curls, so does that change how they should be wrapped up?

Sorry for all the questions, lol, and thanks again!

Thank you both so much for such thorough and helpful advice!! I feel a lot more ready to take on the task ahead of me now. I don't know how I can repay you other than by saying thank you, so thank you very much for your help! :good:

Trader & Shipping Support / Advice for a first-time seller?

(First: sorry if this isn't the right board to ask this in! I wasn't sure where to ask, but this seemed like the best place to start.)

Anyhoo! Hello there! I've been a casual MLP collector for about 7 years now, but I want to focus more on owning just the ponies I truly love, and not just pick up each one I see at a thrift store. (though that won't stop me from rescuing any poor lost souls I see on my travels! :P) So I'm getting ready to hopefully sell the extras soon!!

 I have a mix of about ~50 G1/G3/G4s in varying conditions, but I don't want to ask the Pony Corral to price each one of them for me since that's a lot of work and I'd feel bad. But I'm not savvy to the worth of mlps and I'm worried I might overprice them. So the questions I can think of right now are:

  • Is there a good rule-of-thumb for pricing ponies?
  • What's the best way to safely package them for mailing?
  • Is there a good way to keep shipping costs low?
  • How should I take pictures of each pony to best show their condition?
  • Any advice for a first-time seller?

I've bought many things online over the years but I've never sold anything over the internet other than digital art commissions. I want to do a good job so everything can safely find a new home, and who better to ask than the experts?  :good:

I hope I'm making sense! I've been rather anxious about asking, and still kind of am, haha. This is all new to me and I feel way in over my head. I get really anxious about doing things right, but I've been putting this off for far too long! Thanks for your time!  :happy:

oh wow! I haven't looked at any new g4 stuff in a long time but those all look amazing and so pretty!! I love the swan boat and the pearl ponies! and honey rays is soooo cute, I have to get one for myself! (hopefully without the oily mishaps -- sorry you had to deal with that!)

great haul, dude!!

I've seen some at my local Dollar store, so if you've got any such stores nearby you should check them out! The one I got had ~20 pages with a picture on each side, so if you wanted them to work with markers like Pokeyonekenobie suggested, then you might be out of luck. Then again, dollar stores don't seem to operate with any rhyme or reason, so who knows what you might find!  :P

Best of luck to you! Hope you find some and that your party goes great!

Wow, you seriously have talent! Drawing, painting, sculpting... sheesh, what can't you do? I love the accessories, they're so cute and well made! And the sculptures, and the drawings, and everything! Wow!!

If you don't plan on it already, you should totally sell custom pony accessories. They'd definitely be popular! If I had the money I'd be interested for sure, haha!

Fantastic work!!  :heart:

The Dollhouse / Re: Monster High - Bounty Hunters
« on: February 18, 2012, 05:10:09 AM »
What a great idea for a thread! I just started collecting Monster High within the past week - and I'm in love with them! Must collect them all...!  :P

The only two I really want but can't find are:
Spectra & Ghoulia (in her first look, with the straight hair and red/black outfit).


No store within 50 miles has a Spectra. If anyone can find one, I'd be awfully thankful! Now, to go back and see if I can't help anyone out in return.

They're so cute..!  :frolic:  Ohhh my goodnessss. I hope you'll be making a whole big bunch of them! I might not mind spending a few bucks for one when they're all ready.  :P  Time to stalk the adoptables board, haha.


Oh, and which game are you going to buy? I'm just too curious now.  :lol:

Ffff--! I love your art so much it's so soft and pretty and cute and eee!!  :P  I don't have any ponies to trade but perhaps sometime we could do an art trade. ^^

That Mimic is too adorable. ;3;

I don't consider myself the best artist, but it sounds fun! =D Especially with all those colors to use, oooh! I've never been paid with an item but it could be nice...  :P  Haha! I draw in the G4 style. I have a thread up here in Pony Art if you'd like to see a few recent examples, or my deviantart @  http://katiecannon.deviantart.com. Don't feel obligated though! If you'd prefer a different artist I wouldn't be offended. ^^
