Title: pc on ss twilight (with pictures)
Post by: lindsayrose1985 on July 23, 2014, 11:46:11 PM
Hello
I have purchased this so soft twilight for £12 plus shipping and I was wondering if I over paid, if she's not worth what I paid would her value increase by deflocking her?
I already have a deflock but one can never have too many ;)
Any advice would be appreciated as I'd hate to lower her value if I did.

I think 12£  is a decent price for her! But if you wanted her and are happy with your purchase, then any price is worth it! I think overpaying is overrated! You can't put a price on fun! :p

She sells for around $30-40 in great condition, sometimes higher or lower depending on her flocking and pink hair and curls. I think you paid a great price.

Her flocking is a little rough, there are a lot of collectors who prefer deflocked, if you plan on re-selling, I'd ask the buyer what they prefer! A lot of collectors offer deflocking services that they charge extra for!

Ah yes I was watching that listing. I don't think you overpaid. I'm looking for a deflocked version myself, she's a lovely shade of purple underneath :)

Haha I was fighting out a best offer with the seller for 2 days! He didn't want to go much lower than the listed price. I didn't understand why put the offer part on when you'll only reduce the price by a dollar or so lol
I only have her deflocked but this one will probably stay fuzzy until I can upgrade her I thinking now.

Yeah I've seen that before, no point in best offer if you're barely gonna reduce at all XD congrats on getting her though :)

Thank you :)

Does anyone know how much a deflock twilight will go for? I have no idea on pricing for the second set :)
Thank you

I would price her at $35 deflocked, she's got nice curly hair, albeit faded.

I have one in similar condition, a touch better flocking and I paid 15 pounds for her so I think thats spot on.

If she were mine, I wouldn't de flock her though. I think there is too much deflocking going on with ponies, but thats just my personal taste.. I can understand how those little rubs on her could annoy you.

I would think her deflock could go higher. In nice condition with pink hair she will go $30-32 ish. Her deflocked version tends to run higher more like $45.

I think thats a good price for her in that condition - of course it depends on her actual problems when she turns up. But if its a small amount of flocking loss plus some faded hair £12 if a good price.

However, initially I would say if she does not have a lot of flocking loss it would be a shame to deflock her and you could get someone more than happy to pay more than you paid for her in order to add her to your collection as she can be hard to find. Its your call of course :)

Thanks everyone :)
I think I'm going to see how bad she is in real life she's been shipped and on her way to the uk. She will be my 3rd twilght and I so want one to be good enough to keep fuzzy for my collection. As I tend to sell the duplicate deflocks after I've assessed which ones can upgrade mine.
Though some I just can't bring self to de flock ..
That's how I ended up with 4 fifi and 3 twists! Plus i keep putting off deflocking a hippity hop and lofty lol

I think her flocking looks perfectly acceptable! Sure it's not mint, but she's not a filly anymore. Maybe her hair could use a touch of pink, but I'd say after a light spa she's ready for display!

She arrived and I've given her a spa day at last.  Here is the result she scrubbed up rather well and her hair is so soft with some curl left the flocking is rubbed on her wings but it looked so much worse when she was dirty.
