I'm juggling Zelda Ocarina of Time and Pokémon X, with Pokémon X getting the majority of the attention. For some reason I just can't enjoy Zelda much. Maybe I'm not so much of a Zelda fan afterall :huh: I mean, Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass, don't get me wrong, were enjoyable, but they were pretty repetitive and got rather annoying!

Have her and adore her!! She was one of the childhood ponies that I remember her exact finding. I found her in our PDSA animal charity shop in town when I was little (3/4/5 maybe?) She was hiding under all the soft toys in the very small soft toy hanging cradle. I remember struggling to reach her desperately and mum coming along to help as I shrieked "I found a pony mummy!". Sadly, I haven't a clue where my girl went, she probably got sold at a carboot at some point along with my Sunlight, but I did get a beautifully mint replacement here from an arena member in 2013, and I adore her, and wouldn't part with her again! I now have her and Lemon Treats from the set, as well as German Variant Swirly Whirly with aqua hair. I probably should complete the set some day, but I'm not so much of a completionist  as I used to be.

I literally spend 0 minutes on game counsels daily. I haven't played a game on anything for over 2 years now. (That's how busy I am with work and other household duties.) Though I try to limit myself to no more than an hour on the arena daily (I'm lucky if I even get that)... lol

I shall follow in your footsteps oh wise one.

That's pretty amazing, although I imagine hard to sell unless you live in Italy and can afford at least EUR 2,000 for it. Amazing though.
Why Italy?

That's where it was made by the sounds of it, plus, it'd cost an absolute bomb to get a courier to even touch it for transportation over seas, adding a possible 1,000 more EUR to the cost overall!

Off Topic / Limiting Play Time?

Okay, this is going to sound odd, but how long do you all spend on your consoles?

Scientific research shows it can be good for hand eye co-ordination, but it can be bad too for the brain and hypothalamus, so I try not to spend more time than I feel comfortable on my console. (3DS and Wii, which I haven't touched in a month now)

I have health problems and I feel constantly harassed by my mum saying "If you want to get better, you have to stop playing your games." And this morning: " You need  to get rid of them, if you ever want to be able to get better." Which to me, is a bit farfetch'd (ha, get it?!) Anyway, I'm trying to limit myself to 20 minutes a day, but it's tricky when you set yourself in game goals, like for me, one thing leads to another, and after I've hatched that non shiny egg, I go and get another and try to hatch that one etc, so it leads on.

So, out of interest, how long do you spend PER DAY on your console? Are you cutting down? Why? Do you know the health risks concerned? What do you think of them?


Some food for thought articles:

The Daily Mail
The Guardian
CNN
U.S News
Eurogamer

Personally I agree with what has been said, I am very cautious due to being scammed twice on an app in the last year, by different people, and a couple of close calls, or things arriving considerately different condition wise to what was stated.

I do suggest if you trade/sell here, photos are essential, and to prove it is you, hold up a card with your selling name in the background, that makes it safer for the most :)

And honestly, don't worry about it, I think in today's internet based economy, everyone is a little cautious, it isn't a bad thing either. :)

I'm not into them either, I just like seeing them because I think they're different to what I'm used to :)

Very pretty hair on the variant, but just as Tap Dancer said, she's quite plain, so I'll pass for today.

I just watched a MOC Cherries Jubilee go for $350 o.O But the deals are out there;) I snagged a pearly baby Surprise for $6 and someone got a mint tux for $7 from the same seller:) I'm just sick of sellers posting one photo and say look at photo for description...you take a chance and of course there's huge flaws, hair cuts, or the ponies face is almost bitten in half. Or you get a pony who's hair was covering one eye in said photo that shows up with a huge rub...was offered to have it touched up since they were a customizer though...I'm sorry but sellers lately have gotten seriously lazy.

As for the fees it is 10% but if you charge shipping they hit you with a 10% fee on that and then the paypal fee so if you offer free shipping it probably is closer to 25% by the time you've paid the shipping:/ Hence why I always have a huge booth at pony fair. I will wait all year with my extras just to avoid selling on ebay because everything I would have lost in fees pretty much evens out to my event costs and I got to enjoy the experience:)

To be fair, I wouldn't call it laziness if they list what they can physically see without paining themselves, I guess it covers their back. I do the same when selling my ponies, I give as good a description I can without getting a fine tooth comb and give HD photos so people can make their own minds up, that way my back is covered. It's hard for buyers and sellers though, but I feel like my last few sales worked perfectly with that method, so I can't complain, my buyers were happy, that's what counts!

Unfortunately not, that's the actual format of it. Had it been drawn on a transparent background, there wouldn't be any surround! x
