Title: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Trish on March 26, 2012, 11:30:06 AM
Type that into eBay search and check what price it's going for. With bids.
Somehow I doubt the seller is getting paid  :drunk:

Holy cannoli!!  I almost snorted my coffee after seeing the high bid!  Wow, I need to learn how to MAKE stuff.

I'm wondering if these are serious bids or someone trolling. Last night it was only at 1,000 and a few hours earlier it was only in the mid-hundreds.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Trish on March 26, 2012, 11:53:16 AM
Probably shill bidding or someone trolling!
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on March 26, 2012, 11:54:26 AM
No offense, but why would anyone want that? I would feel horrible wiping my dirty shoes all over Fluttershy's face... T__T

I want! I want! I want! :O That top bid is HUGE !

Post Merge: March 26, 2012, 11:58:50 AM

I doubt the top bidder will actually pay, I just can't see it happening, if they do, do you think they'll feel slightly silly for paying $7,700 for a doormat that is just going to end up really dirty!
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Sora on March 26, 2012, 12:06:25 PM
I think the highest bidder is a newbie with 0 feedback. So yeah, seems unlikely they'll get paid. But man.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Sarah-Bee on March 26, 2012, 12:08:06 PM
Can't see it, must be a US thing. Still, insane pricing on a doormat! o__O

This technically isn't linking to a listing, right?

It is in reference to Fluttershy being a doormat and not being assertive in one of the latest episodes. :)

I'm waiting to see Fluttershy in a tree costume now.

Yikes.

I honestly don't even like it..

Post by: Jocelyn on March 26, 2012, 12:16:58 PM
Heh, I was watching that. Last night it got up in the 7,000s, then the seller deleted the ridiculous bids. I suppose the trolls are insistent! I just don't really see why they need to go and ruin someone's auction...It's not necessarily funny or anything. Just stupid.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Varkolak on March 26, 2012, 12:19:54 PM
that's cute lol but not worth THAT much.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: saply on March 26, 2012, 12:24:15 PM
The second-highest bidder (at $7600) has 47 positive feedbacks!
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: hathorcat on March 26, 2012, 12:27:50 PM
Just wow...

I am all for the fact that people should be allowed to pay what they want for collectable items....but gosh!

I ll vote on trolls because I simply refuse to believe that anyone would pay 7700 for something they could commission direct from a manufacturer or specialist supplier for a few hundred.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: sparkleset80 on March 26, 2012, 12:34:21 PM
Now it's down to $2,000...

Oh the irony...  But it's so cute!  I want it, not to wipe my feet, but to frame it and hang it in my room.

I think I'll save my money for the actual ponies....

Maybe FS :muffin: Pony wasn't so expensive!
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Pinkie21 on March 26, 2012, 01:18:53 PM
I'll be perfectly honest, I'd find waaaaaaaay to much joy in wiping my dirty feet on that mat...

Wow... Just, wow...

It's adorable, but not adorable enough for me to live on Ramen for the rest of my days...

Post by: Saber-Toothed Crow on March 26, 2012, 01:25:39 PM
I'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind wiping my feet on that doormat. Still, that's quite a bit of cash! I'll save my money for actual ponies.

Woh thats gonna burn a hole in somepony's wallet!  Its absolutely adorable though, I would love to have one outside my doors.^^
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Scraleos on March 26, 2012, 01:49:40 PM
It's so cute! But I'd probably step over it if I had it because I wouldn't want to dirty it! XD
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Rococo on March 26, 2012, 01:51:02 PM
It's cute but I would never be able to wipe my feet on Fluttershy's face!

That price is insane though... I wish I had that much free change to toss around.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: moonflower on March 26, 2012, 01:58:27 PM
I love it! but those bids are insane and can't be true bids.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: sweetstuff on March 26, 2012, 02:58:49 PM
Yeah... I'll stick to my cheap door mats from the dollar store. As cute as that is - geez, I've seen used cars for that same price!
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o

I'd want it! But... I'd feel horrible wiping my feet on her. So... I'd just nicely display her somewhere. Hehehe.

I should figure out how to make something like that. o_o

Post by: Zest on March 26, 2012, 03:56:29 PM
Woooooowwww.
I really am curious to see if whoever wins actually pays for it? O___O
Because while one of the bidders has 47 positive feedbacks, the other main bidder only has one feedback.

If they do, then omg I am totally gonna start making stuff... xD

Oh, I saw that on EqD a few days ago. Whoever buys it probably won't use it. Even if they do, the lister says it's washable. A lot of peopl must want that thing. Desperatly.

Omg that doormat is -epic- in everyway. I would totally buy one if they were mass produced.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: rybett on March 26, 2012, 05:58:11 PM
But if s/him is bidding for kicks/giggles, what happens when the auction ends and a bunch of $$ has to be coughed up? 
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Faerie-StarV on March 26, 2012, 06:02:11 PM
Then he's gonna break a lot of piggy banks to pay that mat.  :P
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: ZettaMomo on March 26, 2012, 06:32:49 PM
I know it is sad to say, but I really hope it is someone 'trolling'. I love ponies as much as  the next guy, but there are so many things I could buy with $10,000 instead of one doormat.
Even so it is super cute! I was actually waiting for a Fluttershy doormat since the Putting Your Hoof Down episode.

I am really surprised how high the biding can get for some custom My Little Pony things! I remember a plush of Fluttershy in her gala outfit that sold for about $2,500.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: michelle53 on March 26, 2012, 06:52:11 PM
This is just insane.  It has to be people just bidding with no intention to pay.  Sad for the seller:(

If only I had that kinda cash to blow lol. This is a cute doormat, don't get me wrong, but blowing 10 grand on it when you can probably get something similar to it custom-made at a shop for a fraction of the price is beyond the pale.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Chi on March 26, 2012, 07:43:17 PM
I'm tempted to PM the bidder the link on how to block eBay users...
It seems like he keeps deleting their bids and they just continue to bid over and over. :/
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Varkolak on March 26, 2012, 08:16:09 PM
if i bought that... i'd have to use it for clothes for the rest of my life. no way could i ever afford that.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: scarletjul on March 26, 2012, 10:16:24 PM
*stares*  It's still @ $10,000.

I have to assume it's someone trolling because I can't imagine someone spending that kind of cash on a doormat, no matter how cute.  But I hope for the seller that the bid is real.

As for me, I'd feel kind of bad wiping my feet on poor Fluttershy.  :)

O.O That's plain ridiculous!

It's cute, but I'll echo everyone who would feel bad wiping their feet all over poor Fluttershy :)

And if I had that sort of money in my possession, I'd put it into something more productive.. like a charity or things I really needed: being a student isn't easy! :lol:
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: creampuf on March 27, 2012, 06:49:27 AM
It's down to $100...but still....why on earth would you buy it at that price? If you can wipe your feet on a $100.00...I'm jealous.

I'm seriously thinking that with the pricing of the FiM crafts...I'm in the wrong business.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: aellos on March 27, 2012, 07:32:50 AM
At least $100 is a more reasonable price. Though if i were buying it, I'd frame the dern thing.
Get my guests to ask why it says "Please Wipe Your Hooves" ROFL
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: MLPgal13 on March 27, 2012, 09:00:28 AM
$100.00 is a bit easier to swallow. Although still way to high for me.


Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
Post by: Icecrystalline on March 27, 2012, 09:44:37 AM
Wow. I could buy my first car, insurance and be able to maintain it for $10,000. That's about £9000! :O

Yeah, if you look at the bids, you can see the bid retractions, and there are 6 or 7 retractions that are listed as 'troll bidding.'  One person bid 3 separate times.

Now it's back up to $300.

I'd hang it on my door with a hand painted hoof print marked up CHEAP doormat on the floor. It's adorable. Agree, knowing how to make stuff wuld prove to be very lucrative.
Title: Re: Fluttershy doormat O_o
