Title: Is Starry Wings really back to $50?
Post by: cloud_weaver on March 01, 2012, 05:07:29 AM
I can never keep track of the current HTF winger.  I know I'm only missing a few to complete my collection - one being Lady Flutter, one is Cool Breeze, and the other being the gorgeous Starry Wings.  I went browsing through some sale threads on ebay just to see what was current...is Starry Wings really back to $50?  I saw a few girls at that price!  And I can't rationalize spending that on her.  So, is she now the HTF winger?  She, Flurry, and Cool Breeze seem to take turns being at the top of the list.  And I cannot find a Lady Flutter under $30!


Help!  What's the current going rate for the summer and windy wings?

It looks like according to completed listings for her she is anywhere from $31 to $51 over the last 30 days.

I know, it's crazy right!  I bought my first one of few years ago for like $20!  I was apart of the bidding war for the eBay SW that went up to $51, needless to say I didn't win.  I know she is HTF, but for me personally, I think Whirly is much harder to track down!
I love Starry Wings, but I'm not spending $50 on one!

Whirly wasn't so much a trouble for me as Lady Flutter.  I know she's a summer wing, but my goodness - everyone I've found is way overpriced! 

I allow myself to spend up to $15 on Summer Wings and up to $20-$25 on Windy Wingers when I'm in the market - but my goodness I love Starry Wings!  I just won't spend $50+ on her.  :(

My goodness, those prices are insane! Especially for Lady Flutter, wow. o_O Even Buzzer I noticed has been up in price some. I was watching the $51 auction too but didn't bid. I don't have money for wingers right now and found another pony at a price I couldn't pass up. Funds are depleted. XD

For Starry Wings, she seems to vary between $30 and $50. Some days she seems to be less popular, then other days there is just no way you will find her for under $50!

Lucky for me I managed to find Starry Wings for 50p at a carboot. Her prices are crazy at the moment. Hope you manage to find a reasonably priced one soon !

That's crazy... o_o I only spent $16 on mine (and she's absolute mint, seriously, no issues). I got her three years ago, though. At the time, wingers and summer wings went from $12-$25, and cool breeze was about $30 average. Now she's like, $50. >_<

I think Wingers are always all over the place...even questionable looking ones have that curb appeal that make auctions seem to do well!

I think the 15 to 20 maximum for Summer Wings if in glorious condition and 25 to 35 for Windy Wings is fair...although with Cool Breeze, Starry Wings and a Flurry with pinkity pink hair they may go higher I suppose!

You're right, they are having a surge in popularity again!  :)  But it is partly the tax return season that drives prices up on Ebay this time of the year.

That's okay, they are gorgeous ponies.  But it is frustrating to have them be so pricey - it means it's nearly impossible to trade for them.  I am pretty sure that Sunglider and Whirly are not so easy to find, either, but they typically aren't as costly, am I right?

Really? Lady Flutter is HTF less than 30ish dollars? I got my lady flutter for less then £10.. and the only issues are penmarks, no blush on her cheek symbol side and a scratched symbol.. she has lovely wings, lovely hair..
But I have no idea here!
