I'm hoping someone with some knowledge on G1 and nirvana ponies can help me just understand some things.. I know next to nothing about G1 ponies as I'm mostly a G3 collector, but I've been considering adding maybe one of each other gen to my collection to change things up and maybe to see if I'll gain an interest in other gens?
Anyway, I was going through eBay and seeing what was available and I came across an Italian pony called Unicorno aka Italian Majesty. Now I have no interest in buying this but it was priced up around 300usd and about 400aud, I know this is a nirvana pony but is this really what an accurate price for these kinds of ponies is? I knew G1 in general were more expensive, especially nirvana, but I can't even wrap my head around paying that much for a pony.
Maybe because I'm just used to cheap G3's haha
If anyone can help me understand what a fair price is in regards to G1 ponies I'd greatly appreciate it
(Sorry I don't have pictures of it)

Another thing since I realised this might affect price- this pony was not in any original packaging but did seem to be in quite good condition

I've noticed a lot of people have credit to someone on their signatures, other users I assume? Are there certain users who tend to make signatures for people? And for the people who make their own, how do you do it?  particularly the transparent background ones- photoshop? Is it possible to have animated signatures?
New to this if you can't tell xD

I'm Ren (he/him), in 18 years old and live in Australia, and currently in University studying a bachelor of Design. My biggest hobbies are visual art like drawing and painting, and I'm now getting into figure skating!

I've only just recently started wanting to collect ponies, I don't plan on having a massive collection but I've always wanted to get back some childhood favourites. I had a whole suitcase full of G3 ponies as a kid but ended up giving them all to a charity for a severe bushfire which affected affected many people in an area where I had a lot of family, so I don't regret that but I'd like to have a few to myself now that I'm older I'm only interested in G3' toys really, but I loved the G1 cartoons as a kid as well. 

To restart my small collection I recently bought a Wysteria! She was, from memory, my first pony as a child and now my first again as an adult <3
