Actually, I almost always remove the head to check to ensure there isn't any rust inside, and in both cases, I remember removing a rusty tailwasher. It's possible that scrubbing inside the head messed up the hair on the interior of the pony or loosened it from the factory stitching. At any rate, I advised the buyer to please send me photos, and asked her if she'd like to send them back... it's a bit of a hassle, but if it is something that other collectors find to be an issue, I'd prefer to be educated about it so that I can avoid any future difficulties. Post Merge: July 23, 2013, 12:51:02 PMOh- I would add- that if the buyer is not happy, it doesn't really matter if it was your fault or not- ebay will require that you offer a refund. Tell the purchaser if she is not satisfied she can return it (at her expense) for a full refund of what she paid to you. (per ebay rules you don't have to pay for return shipping)
Ummm, this was a private transaction at the Arena...

Good morning, ponies,
So I recently got a comment back from a purchaser explaining that while the ponies I sent her were very nice, two of them appeared to be rerooted.
The problem is, I don't actually know how to reroot a pony. I really kind of wish I did, since it's gorgeous some of the results, but my one attempt to do so with a curved quilting needle (really. Don't ask) resulted in lots of bandaids. And the ponies that she believes to have been rerooted I actually bought ages ago at yard sales, but that's just my word.
So... how can you tell if a pony is rerooted, so that I can advise potential buyers of this beforehand?

That's Bridal Beauty from Year 10. She came with a bouquet/barette that went with a garter on her foot, a ring, a veil, and a wedding cake. According to bluerose's index, the average price for her is $10.43, with a range from 3.75-18.99 in 2010. You can see her complete with accessories here: http://www.kimsites.net/dreamvalley/10th_edition_ponies2.htmlNice find!

uh oh. You don't want to hear my Mimic story.
She was the single most hated pony of my friends collection, and was subject to lots of awful things. *cough*
(no pix, she is long gone.)
I'm picturing a scene from the Addams Family right now. You know, like where the little girl buries the dolls in her garden... And now I'm really curious...

Good morning, ponies...
So I sent out a parcel on May 14th by surface mail to one of my buyers, and it still hasn't gotten to her yet. We're both pretty concerned at this point, since according to CanadaPost, surface mail is supposed to take 4-6 weeks (I'm not sure if that means 28-42 business days, or literally 4-6 weeks...).
If anyone has any advice on how long it should take, or how to find out from the postal system where the parcel might be at, how to get the money back from the postage system, or anything vaguely related to this, please let me know. The buyer seems rather new at this--she sent me payment in the wrong currency at first, and confesses that she's had some difficulty recently in getting packages delivered from international locations--and I'd really like to help ensure she doesn't have these difficulties in the future.
Thanks, ponies!

Hmm... I found an anatomy chart and a set of six discs for 'Learn to Speak Chinese', along with a toy dragon, all for 50 cents

There are very few things that unsettle me, but yard sales bloopers are one of them... 1. People who leave up their signs so that you bike five km down a street only to discover and empty driveway  2. People who set up signs ALL over the city, without arrows... so that you go down a street assuming the yard sale is there, only to realize that it's 15 km away. In the opposite direction. Umm... you do realize people don't have googlemap implanted in their brains yet, yah? 3. People who maliciously set up yard sale signs that lead to dead ends in the middle of corn fields. I grew up in the yard sale capital of Ontario  It happens. What are your yard sale pet peeves?

I like old Singer sewing machines because they're usually pretty heavy-duty. The newer ones like the Brother models are probably more portable though since I think they're made of plastic? The one I have is an old Singer that I picked up at a thrift store for $25... but my Dad had someone who used to recondition sewing machines check it over first, so I'm not sure if that's the best option for everyone.
Shrugs. Let me know what you get... I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the craftiness!

Ooh. I have the purple one in that pose that I'll be selling. Hopefully someone will give you an answer.

Maybe it's Raquel in the Calla pose?

Yes! That's it! Thank you all! I knew about the Fashion Star Filly Catwalk, but I didn't know Raquel had an alternative pose! How common is it compared to the usual pose?

Hey there! So, I found a Josselyn at a Thrift Store... except she has a 'Feelin' Fancy' type lace pattern over her rump, and I always thought she was a blank flank. And she's very definitely a Josselyn and not a Chantilly. I was wondering if this was a known variant, or if she's a factory error. Help would be appreciated
