Wanted! / Wanted: Japan Jun Planning G1 Coin Purses

« on: May 31, 2023, 11:28:44 PM »

Looking to buy Jun Panning G1 coin purses - all except Bowtie, which I have. These: https://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=404664.0

Pony Corral / Jun Panning G1 Retro Coin Purses - Japan 2001

« on: May 30, 2023, 09:46:49 AM »

‘Ello

This is my first proper post in years!

I just wondered if anyone has any info on the Jun Panning G1 Retro coin purses that came out in 2001? Mainly a list of the ponies that were made into them. I have Bowtie and I know Blossom exists, are there more?

I’m working on my retro collection so I’m on the lookout for Blossom and any others that may exist. I’ll be doing a wish list soon, once I get back into the swing of the forum

Thanks in advance

Edit for list of ponies (work in progress):
- Bowtie
- Blossom
- Cotton Candy

Hi guys

Doing some pricing for PonyCon

I can't see much in the way of prices for the Discord plus Fluttershy We Love Fine Vinyl (Finyl - copywriting that

) - does anyone who the current value?

Also Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle - the ones with moulded manes that came with the EQ Girls dolls

I'll be adding more as I go through my lists

Thank youuuu!

Trader & Shipping Support / eBay selling account permanently stopped + feeling pretty sad right now...

« on: October 08, 2016, 03:26:53 PM »

So, backstory is here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380674.0.html

I was just about getting myself back on track, save for two weeks of the flu (still in full swing) that I could have done without then eBay puts a permanent stop on my account for selling. I've been there 13 years and had a bad year and because of four complaints they've stopped it and won't amend their decision despite me being able to prove I was ill (quite seriously), having 100% feedback, high DSRs and having resolved all the complaints to the point where buyers were happy.

I'm literally gutted.

Now I'm looking through completed listings for ponies that will sell the best/easiest/for the highest price and I've come across many of my own listings that have sold and it's hit me about having to sell my collection. I just needed to say it somewhere, to some people who will get it.

I know I have other options, like selling here, Facebook, Etsy.... but eBay catches so many people and is just easy.... I'm literally devastated. 13 years down the pan for a few months of hardship.... it's unreal. I feel like just jacking it all in and giving up.

I just needed to tell someone and frankly I need a damn hug.

Sorry and thanks for reading

Trader & Shipping Support / Sarah-Bee Sales: Things have been tough, an apology.

« on: July 18, 2016, 07:32:20 AM »

*** Possible trigger warning: mental health and abuse - no major detail, however ***

Hi everyone

I took the plunge in January and quit 'the day job' to do my pony sales full-time and to say I've had a rough time since then would be an understatement.

I wanted to make this post to explain a few things because I have not been on form and that is NOT how I like to operate.

All of my buyers and potential buyers have been utterly amazing. The level of support I've received from people who were total strangers to begin with has blown me away. I now have some new friends and for that I am eternally grateful.

I'm going to keep this brief and to the point (please heed the trigger warning if you are vulnerable etc):

Was in abusive marriage for 10 years, with him for 12 years total. Mostly emotional/ psychological abuse, some physical, some... 'other'
Left him Feb 2015 and did great for a long time, was ecstatic to be out of it and was dealing phenomenally
January 2016 - New Years - it hit. Long story short, was in same place I used to go with him each NY and it was a major trigger
Huge depression
Weird stuff started to happen; again long story short it turns out the anxiety I had constantly while with him was masking Bipolar Disorder but I didn't know that until roughly May this year
Jan-May I was up and down, among other things, without knowing what on earth was going on
Diagnosis - relieved - coping with it now I knew what was going on
However, major event (unrelated) at start of June that I'd been 'preparing for' since February caused massive stress, that led to physical illness, huge drop in body weight, wasn't sleeping or eating properly.
Predicted once it was over I'd "crash and burn" which I did. Expected a week or two - I just came back out of that THIS WEEKEND
In the meantime have only been able to work sporadically and had another bereavement in the family (first was Grandma in Feb - expected). This was cousin, cancer, expected but NOT YET. Huge shock. I was a wreck.
Funeral was Friday and I now have closure and feel more like myself than I have in months.

I feel able to work properly now rather than having to force myself to do so because I'd completely ran out of money. I will be operating to my usual standards now and when times get hard with the bipolar I have people on hand to get me through it and that includes keeping my work up to standard.

So, that's it. But I'm back now. I've thought that at several points and I've been wrong but this feels very different, I'm pleased to say.

I had to explain that for me because I haven't been on form and my working standards have been sub-par to say the least and that IS NOT how I like to operate.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has been there for me, been patient with me and helped me. I love you all, you are angels.

I have a little catch-up to play with regards my current sales, which are mostly on my Facebook page and three to finalise here which I anticipate to be all up to date by mid-week this week.

Thank you again. This community is amazing, it is my pony home and it contains some of the most wonderful people I've ever had the honour of knowing.

Sigs & Site Support / MOD HELP! Keyboard error = weird situation leaving feedback for another member!

« on: May 21, 2016, 10:54:52 AM »

Hi Mods!

I just tried to leave feedback for another member and this occurred!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I tried to PM a Mod but this occurred

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I took people's names out as I wasn't sure on the protocol on that front. I suspect it would be ok as it's all accessible on this site, but I wanted to be safe and err on the side of caution. Once I can PM again I can respond to a PM from a Mod if you need to ask for the name but in the meantime you might be able to access it just by looking what I've been up to here lately

(<-- doesn't know how this stuff works)

I didn't want to leave it unmentioned so I posted it here.

I came back to my desk after some time away to find my cat asleep on my keyboard and I think she messed something up. A restart has sorted the issue now

Could you remove the weird

feedback please, so that I can leave it properly?

Thanks so much and SORRY!

And so is Katniss

MLP Nirvana / PC Pretty Please! A handful needed asap + some others less urgent :)

« on: May 01, 2016, 07:55:13 AM »

Hello there lovelies!

Please could someone help me out with a price check on White Blue Belle?

~~She is fully and evenly “white” – I used “bunny ears” because she is actually off-white/creamy coloured/has some discolouration issue or other.~~ - I cleaned her and she is more white now

Not 100% so, but much improved

She isn't perfect but she isn't awful

-   ~~Discolouration mentioned above~~ - much less than first thought now she has been to the spa
-   Several permanent marks (I couldn’t get them off on spa day) but luckily they are small; no large marks
-   Some marks are brown and I’m not sure whether they are age spots or not. I’m inclined to think not because they do look a bit different but either way, they exist
-   ~~She is a little bit tacky (just a little) so she may be starting with plasticiser leak? (BAH!)~~ - gone now she's been cleaned
-   She has a blue mark on the plastic above her tail and you can see the tail washer through the plastic
-   Her tail is lovely and soft and uncut. Also, it has no rust which is surprising given the washer thing mentioned above

- Her mane is also lovely and soft and silky *strokes Blue Belle*. It’s also uncut and has no missing plugs
- Her DS symbol (side where hair falls for sake of argument

) has some fading but the NDS is clear and unrubbed
- Her eyes are clear and unrubbed, just minor wear/fading to her eyelashes on her DS
-

Here she is

- better pics than before:

Someone has enquired about a price for her but I have no idea of her value! Help pretty please?

(Nothing set in stone re her sale, just an enquiry, so feel free to PM me an offer

)

Since I started writing this some other “Plz halp quiiiick’ price checks have come to light

Can anyone help with PCs on these? These photos were basically instead of making a written list so they’re rubbish and I’m about to take some proper ones for the interested party and can update when I have better pics but a ballpark figure or a ‘from and to’ price range would be such a big help

Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to help me and my buyers out!!!

), Tickle re-haired (by me - not as badly as Firefly - with softer more Argie-like hair) and bald Masquerade who I never got round to re-hairing but I have her original tail:

French Skydancer:

Thanks so much in advance

I could also do with some PCs on these but this is much less urgent and can wait until I have better photos for the ones where I only have the quick snaps. Some have had proper photos done for people who enquired about buying them but didn’t want them in the end.

There are LOADS! I hope you all don’t mind me posting so many. I’ve had a bit of a rough time of it and have only just gotten caught up with current sales from my last sales thread due to being thwarted at every turn to get them done, so anyone who can offer any little bit of info, even just on one pony would be a massive help for me so I don’t get all behind and stressed again

Sorry there are SO MANY! I’m terrible with prices and research hasn’t turned much up for most of them

Again, thank you so much in advance for anyone willing to help

And here’s a few that I keep getting PMs about but never manage to sell

and some others too.

(No one has dibs on these so please feel free to PM me with offers when we have PCs

(except the nicer pics which I took for potential buyers

) so excuse the rubbishness

Better photos will occur when they actually go for sale or sooner for this thread if I get chance

White Windy (yeah, yeah, I know not everyone believes in her

haha)

This weirdo. I kept her because she interested me. Her head is half fixed in place, I could open her just enough to have a nosey inside and her tail washer is firmly in place like it would be from the factory but the tail is white it’s white. I have no idea if this is a legit variant or if the tail is somehow bleached or if someone is just really good at replacing tails, but it really is in there as if from the factory:

Price Check Archives / PC for urgent sales: G3 Fair Ponies, SDCC, Art, Pony Project, Charity, Rares +

« on: March 27, 2016, 09:19:21 AM »

Hi Lovely Pony Peoples

As per the title I'm looking for a little help with some price checks for some rare/htf/sought after G3s. Ordinarily I'd auction them if I wasn't sure what to charge but I need to sell as quickly as I can, so want to do 'buy it now' on eBay or here.

(FYI, I know PCs with a view to sell often generate PMs from potential buyers/interested parties and I'm more than happy to receive PMs from people about these girls but don't worry if I don't reply straight away as I will be waiting for PC info and have lots of other irons in the fire regarding pony sales too. Please note, I can't do holds, just straight sales at this time).

Here are the ponies I'm looking for PCs for - all are loose, some have packaging and that will be noted where it applies:

Fair Exclusives:

Trader & Shipping Support / Received unfair negative feedback on eBay ~ buyer = geoathc4

« on: March 26, 2015, 11:35:56 AM »

I am all kinds of mad right now! I just checked my feedback and I've received negative for a Sprinkles due to 'it having a different head' when the head/body mismatch was CLEARLY stated in the auction! They also didn't bother to contact me about the problem either.

eBay is getting beyond a joke for *slight edit* PL hats lately and I'm getting so sick of it!

I've emailed them to ask them to revise it based on the issue being listed in the description so I'll see what they say but if not at least eBay should remove it as it is stated...

SIGH.

Off Topic / A good alternative to Photobucket?

« on: December 28, 2014, 06:24:04 AM »

Hey ponies!

I use photobucket for linking photos into my ebay auctions so the photos show up in the body of the auction rather than just on ebays photos section (there's a link to my shop below if you're not sure what I mean)

Photobucket is basically driving me insane lol. It makes my computer make these horrible whirring noises and run extremely slowly when I'm trying to copy the html code from Photobucket to eBay.

I've tried to see if I can find a good alternative in the past but with little success. I need something that has the quick linking feature that Photobucket has, ie, that the html link is available underneath a thumbnail of each photo in the overview of the album so I don't have to open each photo individually to access the html code. I hope that makes sense and someone can come to my rescue before I go completely mental with PB!

Thanks in advance!

Love, Sarah x
