FF,
Especially since she is a Rapunzel, I had and still have no idea if her hair is perfect. The woman I originally purchased her from had this in eBay listing:
Hair: All plugs are present. Her tinsel gets a little wild but it is not too crinkly. I do not think she has a hair cut as the ends of her hair have a factory appearance. Her curls are a little tight right now. I included a picture of her all wet when I was shampooing her so you can see the length. She does have some dryness and frizz.
(Original listing from which I PM purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-G1-My-Little-Pony-Mail-Order-Offer-Rapunzel-Gorgeous-/322060375525?cp=1&euid=4b0fc9bc178e47eeabafc34e79ded635&nma=true&si=Bni0yjq50JCtqggGiisy5yhZYlc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)
Just out of personal curiosity... DrEsmeRose, when you put Rapunzel up for sale, did you mention anything at all about Rapunzel's mane looking like it may not be right? Looks like the seller you got her from mentioned it possibly being a factory flaw of some sort, but did you pass along that information to your potential buyers? Kudos if you did  and even if you didn't, it's still up to the buyer to catch those kinds of things. At a $800-900 price (basically her value in mint condition), any minor quirks like that should be brought to the buyers attention, especially when they could be overlooked by hair that's curly or flipping in different directions. I've been a very long time collector, and I have to admit, I don't think I would've caught it without measuring my own Rapunzel's hair :/
Ultimately it was Tak's responsibility to ask about any flaws, but I can see why she assumed there weren't any at that asking price and the way the hair is flipped. If you didn't mention there *might* be a flaw, it would be helpful if you did in future sales to help avoid a situation like this  If you did mention it, you did all you could. I think we can all learn some lessons here in selling and buying!
My original transcript between Tak and myself is about halfway down on page one. I didn't think to include the original eBay listing at the time, and the only Rapunzel I had ever seen in person was my own. Therefore, the pictures represented the what flaws I recognized as a normal pony lover (cheek marks, hoof scuff, ect). I had no idea at any point that there was in any way the potential that the Rapunzel's hair had been altered. Therefore, I did my best to disclose what I saw, and I will do my best to better list out any flaws to future buyers. When I sold Rapunzel at the time, I was under the impression Tak was looking for herself and wanted to get her hands on one in pretty good condition for her personal collection, so I offered her at the same price I paid for her, and we made a deal.

For those of you who don't want to switch threads, here is what Pierlala posted:
I just read the thread "Problems with Tak and Pierlala". I am actually quite upset by the things that are being said there. I know that most of you have a very bad picture of me now. I will try to explaij from my point of view what happened here. I don't think it's going to make much of a difference but I feel it's something I have to do.
As you all know, I have been looking for a Rapunzel for a few months now. One good day Tak approached me with a message that she had found a seller. However, the seller wanted 900 follars for her. I at the time only had 700 to spare as you can read in my thread (which I updated whenever I got more to spend in hopes to obtain a Rapunzel).
Tak said to me that the seller might go a bit lower if she speaks to her. Eventually Tak told me that the seller agreed to 800 dollars. I told Tak that I couldn't afford that either. Because at the time it was still early in the month and I always get my money around the 20th. So I asked Tak if she couod ask the seller if it was possible to wait untill that date. But before I knew it, Tak messaged me saying something along the lines of "It's for certain, I just paid the 800". I was surprised and happy that Tak was actually kind enough and trustful towards me. So I sent Tak the 700 I had first and I had to wait untill my money came to be able to send her the 100 dollar + shipping and ensurance. Tak came with the idea that instead of paying so much shipping, we would do a partial trade instead. She picked out some Ponies from my G3 collection. That was I had only about 24 dollars left to pay her + the 100.
Tak was also kind enough to send Rapunzel to me even before the Paypal transaction was complete (Paypal takes a few days to complete the transaction). So I waited and after about a week I received a letter that Rapunzel was at customs. Ofcourse this was my own fault. Atleast I know that now...that there is a chance that expensive items will be picked out and put custom fees on it. In this case I had to pay 191 euro. I honestly didn't have that as I did not expect that AT ALL! Tak offered once again to send 150 dollar to fill in the gap between me receiving Rapunzel and my money so I could atleast receive her. I ofcourse paid Tak back once I got my money.
Once all of that was settled, I received her and made a pony brag. Cause yes, I was ofcourse really excited that I got her finally. But after uploading pictures on the forums. Some people mentioned that her braid was rather short and her mane as well at some points. This didn't bither me right away because I thought it might not be the case. But after making a thread and receiving some pictures of other members Rapunzels I started to get bothered about it. Because I paid 800 dollars plus all the extra costs for a pony I wasn't satisfied with in the end. My first thought wasn't "Refund!" No...it was not. I didn't know what to do and even contacted a admin about possibly selling her on the forums. Aroubd the same time I had seen another Rapunzel up for sale on Ebay and I was really pondering what to do. Eventually I went against the advice of the admin and put Punzie up for sale on the forum and on Ebay. I discribed all her flaws as honest as possible and hoped to sell her quickly. Because the other Rapunzel had about less then a week left. So I asked Tak if it was possible to ask the seller if she would agree to a refund if I send Rapunzel back. I rven told Tak that I am willing to take it over from here cause I don't want her to feel like a negotiator. Tak said that the person would 't do "business" with me cause the transaction to her was made by Tak. So at this point I was just unaware what was being said. Tak did communicate with me and tried to tell me as good as possible what was being arranged. The first day this all started was the day that Tak approached the seller for a refund. As I said, me sending Rapunzel back and get a refund. The seller said that she needed several days to awnser the questions. I want to make clear that I did not have ANY form of communication with the seller. So I am telling this from what I heard from Tak. I did tell Tak to ask the seller to make up her mind as soon as possible, cause I really wanted to bid on that other Rapunzel on Ebay. But ofcourse at this point I couldn't. But the seller didn't respond fast enough. Time was ticking but after about 2 dats of no response I asked if it was possible to do a refund through Paypal. Tak phoned her creditcard company and told me the process of chargeback has started.
AFTER the chargeback was set in motion, Tak received a message from the seller that she will agree to a refund if I send Punzie back. Which I did today. I did not know how long it would even take for a chargeback to take place. But I did not have the money to bid on Rapunzel on Ebay. Tak would receive that money back once Rapunzel arrived to the seller again. Tak had offered yo bid on the Rapunzel, but in the end she decided to send me 800 dollars upfront so I could get my custom fees back 191 euro. And once Rapunzel had arrived at the seller. She would get the 800 dolar on her account.
I did sent Rapunzel today. Even gave Tak the tracking code. And I can't stress this enough...I have not had ANY form of contact with the seller. It all went through Tak.
I want to sum up a few things here,
I NEVER asked Tak to pay for anything for me. Never have, not from the beginning. Just never. She was generous enough to lend me money because of the situation. But I ALWAYS paid her back everything. Keep in mind that what I am saying took place in the past 20-25 days. So whatever money she lend me or decided to "surprise lend" me by paying upfront has all been paid back within a couple of days. I don't know why the comments in the "Problems with Tak and Pierlala" thread are so vile. I wish people wouldn't judge without knowing the whole situation and all it's details.
Sure the situation could have been handled better. Sure it was pretty sudden. But today was the first day that I heard that the seller knew NOTHING about me! I hope you can see it from all of our perspectives. I never wanted antone to feel offended or pressured. But I must admit that the comments that have been made such as "Pierlala isn't a friend worth keeping" or "What Pierlala did eas really nasty". What did I do? Receive an item that I wasn't satisfied with and wanted to return it? That is what I did. And ofcourse poor communication vetween me and the seller. But as I said, I was under the impression that the seller wouldn't do business with me. Cause that is what Tak told me. The mistake has been made that the seller didn't know that the Pony was for me. So when Tak received her, the seller thought that that was the end of it. While in fact she had to make the 2 week travel to me incluiding the time she had been in customs. So for a fact Rapunzel had been in my posession for less then a week before I decided that I wasn't happy with how she was. I found out just a little while ago that Tak is not going to accept the refund but instesd will try to sell Rapunzel herself. I apologize to Tak that it went this way. And will do my best to help out financially.
Maybe it was stupid of me to agree to buy Rapunzel without asking proper questions. But I assumed that there was nothing at all wrong with her. On the pictures she lies down, she looked ok to me. And because I did not have any communication with the seller. I couldn't ask her additional information ehich I always do before buying a pony. But I just assumed Rapunzel being more then ok. I was just too happy to finally have a chsnce to get her.
I hope I have been clear enough. I could go on and on and squeeze out even more detail. But I don't think it matters at this point. All I know is that I need to take a break and possibly just leave here for good. It just hurts to see people you thought you were friendly with change in the blink of an eye because of a situation they don't even know half of it from.
And for those who said "Pierlala hasn't even come up to defend herself. Fiest of all it is hard when you have the whole arena against you. Second of all it is pretty hard to get involved into something when you have asked and tried to get into the dicussion but the Facebook group won't accept your request and my messages being removed and ignored.
Collecting Ponies and making friends was all I wanted. Now I just want to be left alone. Feel free to respond to this thread. But I honestly don't think I will read it. Just wanted to get this off my chest.
It is 03:32 over here and I typed this on my phone. Can't sleep because of the sutuation. But I am off now.
Apologies to everyone. Especially the seller and Tak.
PS: I have written this withiut a pause and without re-reading it. So whatever it says, it comes straight from the heart.

I feel that it should be noted that pierlala didn't ask me to look for her. It was a surprise. As far as refunding her without the pony. I felt better bringing the situation to an end. Now she can get a refund for her import taxes and bid on a different rapunzel. She didn't insist that I refund her immediately. She was very anxious about when she would because there is a rapunzel on eBay right now. I'm not comfortable posting her real name or other screen names unless hathorcat tells me to.
Yes, I'm out a lot of money which I can't afford, but it was my decision to take that risk. I really can only blame myself. Not all risks work out in the end. I very much appreciate the thought of a gofundme. That's very kind of you. We'll be ok.
So a piece of 30 year old plastic is more valuable to her than the financial well-being of a friend who went out of her way to surprise her out of the goodness of her own heart?  It is NOT your responsibility to be out the money because you wanted to do a nice gesture. And even if you say you're okay with it, that does NOT mean it is fair to you, your daughter, or the pony community. You should never feel that a selfish brat's desires should come before yourself or your family. OP did not deserve what happened to her either, even if you did resolve those issues.
I think she has worked out a way to sell to someone else on the Arena, so she will be able to re-coop the funds at least, not that Tak should have ever had to resell in the first place, as Pierlala should have kept her.

The auction the Pierlala had was on eBay and it was taken down. The pony has already been sent on its way to me, after PayPal issued their original decision, it was sent by Pierlala (who no one has heard a peep from), according to Tak. I have agreed to send Rapunzel to Tak once she arrives to me, as PayPal has already released the -800 hold on my account.

Tak: No hard feelings on your part, I feel that Pierlala is the one at fault for this. She should have gone directly through me. As they say, don't shoot the messenger.

The things that bother me the most is at no time did tak mention this purchase was for someone else. She represented that she was buying the pony for herself. And when her "buyer" wasn't happen she didn't communicate but blocked DrEsmeRose.
Me too...
How misleading is it to be told that an item is perfect, but then be blindsided by a PP case.
That is what caught me off guard. I usually try my best to work with all my buyers.

I did share all of our my communications with Tak's Facebook moniker with PayPal, however, they already closed the case in her favor before I discovered (today) that Tak had shipped Pierlala the Rapunzel and then Pierlala was not satisfied with her mane, which is shorter in the front due to the factory handling of MO ponies, tried to sell her and failed. Despite Tak claiming she thought the pony was perfect and that she thought the pony looked great earlier in the Facebook messenger, PayPal still decided that Tak could ship the pony out to me and once received I will have to issue a refund.
