Funny sale ads from non-collectors
« on: May 19, 2013, 06:57:58 PM »
So I was perusing craigslist for ponies and I came across this ad.  I removed the contact info.

"I am selling a small my-little-pony toy for $5.00, it is bubblegum pink. For more info, please call ***-***-****. No texts, please."


I just thought it was hilariously vague and there was no picture included.

Any other ads that have just made you giggle?

I saw one yesterday that wanted $40 for 6 blind bag ponies, two mcdonalds ponies, and 5 fakies.  And the seller knew they were fakies. She did insist that the large hippo fakie had rainbows stamped on its hooves "as is common with older my little ponies" though.

There's an eBay BIN for $5000, starting bid at $500. It's three carrying cases and a bunch of common ponies. *facepalm* At a more reasonable price it would be a very good buy for a new collector.

The rare and hard to find ads always make me giggle, spesh when there are ten listings above and below them for the exact same pony... Or the comment I got today on my Facebook buyswapsell listing (20 odd g3's) "oh they're vintage ones! Not all slutty like the new ones!" ....yep. Righto.

I won baby Surprise and baby Firefly from eBay the other day.  There was no item description other than the title:

"Vintage My Little Pony-Hasbro-LITTLE PONIES-PEGASUS-Lightning, Balloon-1984"

I knew who they were (baby FF has badly frizzed hair, so I'll probably re-hair her), but somehow the description made me grin.  I guess if I didn't know ponies, I'd identify them by their cutie marks as well.

I also once bought a lot of MLPs and fakies that said that only some of them had "the Mattel mark."  Um, Mattel doesn't make horse toys, except as accessories for human dolls.  If your MLP says "Mattel" instead of "Hasbro," something might be wrong...
