Title: The worst ebay auction picture ever! **New pics added, page 3
Post by: babystargazer on July 17, 2013, 12:47:06 PM

I debated with myself for an hour or so last night about whether or not to buy this.  I can see that it's all common ponies, and I can't tell their condition with the horrible picture.  But hey, who knows what could be in the mysterious accessories box?  And at less than $2 each for g1's, it's hard to go wrong.  So I took the plunge.  Now I'm anxiously awaiting my treasure box in the mail :).

I spot an insane lot of twinkle eye ponies :p And some BBE, keep us updated on what they are :p I keep staring at the picture trying to guess the name. (would be a great idea for a game here on the arena, guess the pony from a wonky picture)

I did that with a gumtree lot, bought it on a really crappy picture, went and picked them up, and resisted the urge to look until I got home and damn were they filthy! But it was only a bit of thick muck, and the ponies beneath were minty as! half the TAF's, embers, rainbows, twins... and lots I used to score some great ponies in trades. It's scary and exciting until you have them in your hands, but it's definitely worth it - LOVE mystery buys!

I love these mystery lots from clueless sellers.  You never know what will be in there!

Title: Re: The worst ebay auction picture ever!
Post by: spottedslug on July 18, 2013, 08:13:01 PM

And a fairy tale bird and two wingers. ;)

There are 2 in there I can't ID due to overly blurry-ness. If they are all in good shape you got an amazing deal!

Title: Re: The worst ebay auction picture ever!
Post by: babystargazer on July 19, 2013, 10:51:55 AM

Well, I got them today, and I must say, I think the gamble will pay off!  They mostly seem to be in great shape, with no obvious flaws like haircuts or cancer or giant marks.  I won't know for sure, of course, until I attempt to clean them.  There are a couple baits, but not many for a lot this size.  Nothing super rare, though there's a quite nice Bangles and SS Twilight in the mix that I didn't see in the pictures.  All of the ponies with fading pink hair still have very bright pink hair!  It's kinda weird to see so many in their original state.  There's a very badly worn Wind Whistler with gorgeous pink hair- anyone do de-flocking for a trade??  Also, more seaponies than expected, 2 adults and 5 babies.  Not a whole lot of accessories, but a bunch a diaper boxes.  Also, a princess hat, and Steamer's hat, which is odd since he isn't in the lot.  Anyhow, I'm quite happy with how this turned out :).
