Bye bye, pony funds! Yay for show-accurate ponies.

This put something of a dampener on my week. If anyone else bought from this seller on eBay I would be VERY interested to know what condition your ponies were in! They had three/four lots up, mostly containing bits of the G1 Party and Sleepover sets, and a Hollywood/spike among them. This is what I won:

Pretty neat? $51 for that lot. A load of nice looking ponies and some extras. When they arrived, several weeks later (and granted this is coming from the USA but these ponies were really taking their sweet time) I opened the box and reeled from the SMELL.


BBE Frosting and Gusty are covered in orange rust stains
Mondancer and Glory are covered in surface filth and grime
Cotton Candy is covered in mould
Windy... the less said the better. She has mould growing on her in swathes.
Celebrate (the seapony) and Lucky both have/had highlighter marks.
And Rosedust's perfect  pink factory curl? Those orangey stains in the photo are some kind of goo.


I can clean up most of these girls and I'm trying to do so, I did snap photos of the worst ones and will add them to this thread. The seller is:Auction link: here


Ponies were sold 'as seen' but didn't arrive 'as seen' in the auction photo! What can I do here? I'm seriously peeved at this person.

Moving to TS for you OL1

Cute! I may have to post a wanted thread to see if anyone can pick them up for me now they're being reduced.

And that's my teaser picture! I need a bigger box to ship this lot in. There's also a card as well. The envelopes were for some flatter things that my swapper wanted, and there is candy in some of those parcels, I wanted to wrap everything up.

Oh nuts. I *had* all those accessories, I may actually still have some of them? I had the bowls, plates, muffins, pie and various bits like the tongs and cutters! I really hope I haven't sold them on!

I love that set, and the cookery ponies. The value wavers massively because it appears so rarely, but it isn't a 'rare' set? Does that make sense? So if you really want the star cutter and the only one is $5 on eBay then that's the value, rather than finding one at Ponycon for ~50p etc.

Hrm. Thus far the York stock hasn't had that happen, though they're in a really big aisle where it'd be hard to take/open them anyway.

It's really crappy to see this happen, they're pocket money toys... I felt bad getting my set but I covered that spend by moving off some G1s/not getting takeout that week/putting my spare ones up for sale. It's only £1.70 per bag...

Still waiting on 3 ponies here, which is getting really annoying. I have the postal box, the wrapping paper, and all the extras ready to go (and looking delicious, I may have to go back for more for myself)... but I'm missing the ponies!

On the plus side an eBay seller whom I bought two from put some 'matching' accessories in because I was polite, and they're actually what came with the pony so I'll be putting those in as a plus.
