Title: Don’t know whether to get this bundle
Post by: bright rabbit 1 on April 23, 2019, 08:08:54 AM
Found this bundle on eBay.uk for £19.99 it’s a TLC bundle (perfect for making customs) but it’s got a pony in Firefly Pose (pose I don’t like).

Here’s the picture of the ponies

I’ve got plans for all of them apart from the pony in Firefly pose.

Is the bait thread still running on the customs to trade?

That seems expensive for the ponies contained within, especially if they are for customising.

It's always possible to donate a pony you don't want to a charity shop if you can't sell it online here but I personally think the price is quite high.

They also don't look that baity.

I agree with Taffeta, they don't look baity.

Just because a lot says "TLC" doesn't mean they're actually bait.  I bought a TLC lot that was labeled "for customs" and the ponies were fine, just had some surface dirt and minor marks, like the kind of little mark you have to search for to see.  I cleaned them up and sold them . . . not as baits, lol.  I think the only one I have left from the lot is Bonnie Bonnets.  Her only problem was a tiny mark on her neck;  she even has original curl!

I thought my standards for bait were high because those ponies look fine to me...
I think you'll be able to find a much worse off lot for much cheaper.

Everybody thanks for the comments I won’t buy these, I look for cheaper ones of the ones I want.

In my experience people's interpretation of "tlc" or "bait" varies considerably  :)

I took another look at them Mummy Bright Bouquet head and body mismatch and pen marks, the two Posey ponies have mask and hair cuts, Bluebelle her head is coming off and she’s got pen marks, Cherries Jubilee has a hair cut, and the pony in Firefly Pose head and body Mismatch.

Even more reason not to spend £20 (plus shipping?) on them xD

To be honest, they don't look baity enough to customise to me. Now, I have some genuinely baity ponies on eBay at the moment - £4.99 for 4 which is much better value. It's not often I say that G1 ponies are baity enough for customising but they need more than 'TLC' let's say!

Yeah those are not in bad shape at all!  I would not customize them in that condition.
