I saw that awesome sun fading tutorial! It seemed quality, but I'm too lazy and impatient. If the acetone/alcohol fail, I'm giving up.

Thanks everyone!

Where the heck do you find pure acetone? Beauty supply stores?

I got mine at Target in the nail care section.  :)

Ok cool. I'll check next time I'm there. Thanks!

She is G3 Twirlerina. She's light blue, so any bleaching could be a problem.

Sun fading seems to take ages. I want to scrub this poo off or give up and move on =)

I've seen tutorials stating they Mr. Clean removes pen and sharpie...yet it never has for me. Where the heck do you find pure acetone? Beauty supply stores?

So I've tried all of my normal means (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Nail polish remover w/ acetone) on some tough black marks that looked simple enough before I started. These are not budging at all. They look like black crayon or dry erase marker, yet they aren't coming off the way those normally would. Does anyone know how to remove them?

Wow. That has to be an awesome feeling! Good luck finding one of your own.

I think instead of researching non pony people think vintage ponies are all worth a mint since they have seen some like that. I think you are all right. If the prices are good, they will most likely sell. Although it takes the rush of maybe getting a pony for beans away, in the end getting a pony you really want is totally worth it.

The packaging is different though. If it were old stock, I assume they wouldn't waste money making new boxes and emblems?

I want the German babies badly!!! So that is great news. I wish that same man in Asia would uncover a crap ton of the jewelry charms are well, and hey make them MOC. We're talking the necklace/bracelet and pin/bracelet sets w/ Twilight, Medley, Blossom, Bubbles, etc.

Just like the housing markets all over the place, I'm sure the MLP markets will eventually go back up. It's weird bc there used to be a larger demand and smaller supply, and now there's an even larger demand and the same supply. Weird, no?

I have an etsy account, but have never used it to buy or sell, I will one day though :) I unfortunately have no clue if poneis do any good on there, but I understand your frustration with ebay. I hate ebay, but, if you need cash for something, it is the best way to get top dollar for it. When you are broke, every dollar helps lol.

Ugh....that's a good point. Luckily I don't actively spend my paychecks on ponies like back in the day, so I don't need fast cash. I think maybe putting MIPs one there w/ a reasonable price is good. I don't have time to be shipping daily like w/ Ebay. So if someone buys one pony a month from Etsy I'm happy. LOL

It's sad bc I saw a bunch of ended Ebay listings that were cheap, but even still I don't like the environment. I'll see if I can find anything or decide if I want to try to sell there. Of course I'll try to sell here first, but that's a good alternative. Right now I want to buy a big G3 lot to primp bc I'm bored. Is that sad? LOL.

I honestly don't think I can stomach buying or selling on Ebay anymore, and I've been out of the pony loop for a little while. Is Etsy good at all for this stuff?

That's an awesome find! Maybe there are some in nooks and crannies here in the US.

I'm majorly OCD, so the opening of MOCs has always been an issue for me. The ones I opened, I ended up thinking, "What am I supposed to do w/ all the crap lying around now (accessories)." So for me the high is not high enough for the happiness to last. I have resold all of the opened ones  :(
