Off Topic / Does anyone else collect the Doctor Who Titans figures?
« on: December 08, 2013, 02:53:36 AM »
They are about 2" tall and come in blind boxes, and there is one of each of the 11 Doctors along with a couple of extra chase figures.  I'm not too worried about the chase figures but I am interested in getting the main set of Doctors.  I have an extra figurine of the 3rd Doctor that I'd love to trade if anyone has the 2nd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th!

Trader & Shipping Support / Slight delay on shipping items this week...
« on: November 17, 2013, 10:55:31 PM »
If you are waiting on an item to be shipped from me, there may be a delay.  Half of our town is without power, including my house.  (I am accessing the Arena from my phone).  I might be able to get quotes if the USPS site works on my phone, but can't print labels.  I will update when power is restored but the power company says it may be a few days.

Pics of new sale items will go up after power is restored as well. :)

Pony Corral / Feeling like I need to downsize, don't know where to start...
« on: November 17, 2013, 01:33:15 AM »
Now, don't get me wrong...I still LOVE ponies, and I have ponies still on my want list that I'd really like to have!

However, my collection has gotten *massive*.  The G2s and G4s don't take up too much space, but the G3s still take up quite a bit of real estate even after multiple purges, and the G1s take up most of a room!  I'm feeling overwhelmed by how many ponies I have and sad that there is no possible way I can display them all.

At the same time, though, I'm having a hard time figuring out who I can sell off.  There are very few G1s that I don't like (I sold off all my BBE babies, both my Eyelash Princesses and almost all my Newborn Twins this summer) and there are sets that I wouldn't want to break up, like So Softs and Twinkle Eyes.

How do you guys figure out who to weed out without regretting it?

I registered for an account on Taobaonow.com and found some things I'd love to purchase...only problem is, that while the regular website translates, the popup window that comes up when I am ready to complete my order does not!  I can't read Chinese, so I don't know how to proceed.  Would anyone be willing to help me out that knows how to use it?

Arts & Crafts Corral / Commissioned painting for StarglowMLP
« on: October 26, 2013, 01:37:09 AM »
11" x 14", featuring Glow and Show Ponies.  I couldn't get a pic to show this added feature, but the outlines of the ponies, background moon and stars, and the stars and hearts filling the ponies actually glow in the dark!

I sold a non-pony item on ebay this week and it's already lost in the mail!  The post office picked it up yesterday and the tracking says it was delivered less than 20 minutes later in the same town...the item is going to another state!  Now my buyer is upset and I don't know what to do...I can't talk with an actual person by calling USPS without getting stuck in the same stupid automated menu!

I'm so upset and mad that I'm in tears right now and I'm worried that this is going to destroy my ebay feedback...

The Dollhouse / Thinking of getting out of Monster High...
« on: August 26, 2013, 01:23:27 PM »
I think I'm getting a bit bored with the line.  I like the new dolls that are coming out, but I've seen about 20 Twylas by now and left her on the shelf each time, and same with the Headmistress when last year I would have just snapped them up right away and not thought about it.  I also sold my SDCC Frankie and Skull Shores Gil this summer to help raise some spending money for the Fair and don't feel the need to replace them.  I'm still undecided about whether to start selling off my collection, but I don't want to wait too long and not be able to get anything for them.

Anyone else in this same spot?  Thoughts?

Off Topic / IDs and PCs needed on vintage Transformers
« on: August 25, 2013, 12:22:26 PM »
I found a bunch of G1 Transformers at a yard sale today...I don't collect them and would like to sell them but I don't know who they all are or what they are worth.  (I did have Jetfire and Freeway identified for me earlier though) :)

The small ones on the bottom row are all a soft rubbery type material.

I was telling my mom today about the new set with Minty and how the super-sought after ponies always get lumped in with common re-releases.  She thought it was pretty ridiculous for the same six ponies to keep getting released and thought Hasbro could ultimately make a lot more money and make the brand more collectible if they made more lines like the birthflowers.

Then, she let loose her idea: 50 unique state-themed ponies for each of the United States...each available only in the state it is themed for.  Country-themed international exclusives available only in that country. 

She's pretty sure the Arena and eBay would explode :D

Anyone else looking at these/collecting?  I only want one, which is Ariel's cat Treasure but I can't find her anywhere!  Lots of adorable ones though!

Pony Brag Arena / The "Stuff I Already Owned" Brag!
« on: August 14, 2013, 02:12:57 PM »
I got a huge box of stuff sent up from my parents' house today...since I sold a lot of stuff at the Fair and have been selling more on the Arena since I got back, I've made some room for more of my collectibles that I'd had to leave behind in South Carolina.  Even though I already had most of these things, it's been so long since I'd seen them that they're almost new!

There are a few truly "new" items in here though....Mom bought the Starshine shirt for me a couple weeks ago, Dad bought Crystal Motion Rainbow Dash for me in Germany, and the porcelain was an amazing eBay purchase I made last weekend that also arrived today!

Off Topic / Price check needed on some Fantasy Fillies!
« on: August 13, 2013, 05:22:06 PM »
I have two Fantasy Fillies up for sale and was wondering if anyone could help me with a price check?  I have seen completed auctions for Aurora ending anywhere between $20-50 and no completed listings for Kayla.

Aurora's lights still work.  She has a couple of minor paint rubs but nothing too major.  Slight glitter loss to the symbol, hair is still crimped.

Kayla has several paint rubs of moderate size all along the area where the white turns to green. She also has a rub to her display side symbol and a scratch in the plastic near her non-display side symbol.  Seam in the back is beginning to yellow, hair is very nice and unfaded.

Pony Corral / Caribbean Delight: to restore or not to restore?
« on: August 12, 2013, 03:55:22 PM »
I just found a Caribbean Delight today and I love her :)  As of right now I'm planning to keep her for my own collection, but plans sometimes change and ponies get culled from the herd.  She has definitely been played with...I can probably clean up her body pretty well with a Magic Eraser but she has a mane and tail cut.  Should I try to rehair her or not?  Also, I've never rehaired a G3 before and have heard that their heads are very hard to remove, is this true?

Wanted! / Wanted: Bubbles or Seashell BAIT!
« on: August 10, 2013, 12:21:36 PM »
I'm looking for either of these ponies in bait condition!  Hair issues and/or body issues are fine, just no chewed or missing parts!

Pony Corral / Is Dazzleglow rare?
« on: August 10, 2013, 07:25:05 AM »
I found my Dazzleglow at a flea market several years ago so I got her for really cheap, but as I've been looking at auctions for her they seem to all go pretty high.  Has she increased in value recently or is there something else going on?  I know about the blue hearts variant, but these listings are all for the regular pink hearts version...

[Moving to the Corral - thanks, Eviecorn]
