Tell me about Northstar :)

[Saoirse]

Didn't know there were any until today!! But from the gallery I see theres a Mexi baby, a Brazillian and an Argie, are there any more? And what kinda prices would they be, and how often do they pop up usually?
And little plug but any being sold let me know xx

[relcelestia]

but argies are popular right now so you never know whos gonna get into a bidding war

shes not too rare, but as with most south american ponies its htf ones in good condition
good luck to you!

[Saoirse]

Thanks Rel I was hoping you'd pop in! Shes just gorgeous, I've noticed though that Argentina ebay seems to be nearly the only place with Argies on ebay..or maybe its just the time I've been looking!!
Gonna have to watch like a hawk for her top pop up again Argies do seem to be getting their 15 minutes of fame though lol xx

[relcelestia]

there are always argies on the US ebay ^_^
plenty of argentina sellers have discovered their value to us collectors and post them there often.
just type in argentina to the "pre-1990" category and you should find plenty!

infact thats where ive found the majority of mine i only ever bought ONE from the argentina ebay (mercado libre)... it seems like kind of a shady website... not comfortable buying from there

[Saoirse]

Thanks for the tip Ah it seems so far away aswell I wouldn't feel too comfortable buying but tbh language barrier would be my worry..haha!

Ah..see I use ebay.ie so I probably miss a lot of US listings, I'll try .com and keep an eye out

Brazilian Northstar doesn't pop up too often...I think she'd be around $120-$150 also depends on condition and what shape her hair is in. Brazilian ponies often have awful hair.

I agree she's a very pretty pony and she's one of the few Argies on my want list : )

[kellyponyfeathers]

Is the hair supposed to be that length on the Argie? It looks a lot shorter than some Argie rainbow ponies. I just got a Moonstone with great hair, and her mane touches the ground. But maybe it's just normal for some to have shorter hair, and others are long.

really? none of mine do... you got a pic?
but yes there are hair length variations in argies
along with height and color variations too.. its a bit much to keep track of but if you think its different then it probably is

Well, it *barely* touches the ground.  I thought it looked about the same as yours.

Here's her auction:

Anyway, I thought that Argie North Star (South Star?)'s hair had probably been trimmed, so I wasn't even watching her.  Well, I would have definitely been outbid anyway.  She's really cute, though.

[NovelNerd]

Yeah, I was watching that girl and she went for a pretty penny there. I bought my North Star over the summer for I think thirty something? She had nail polish and marker all over her I had to remove/fade over the summer. She had just bits of hair left, but her hair stripe was yellow instead of white. I like it better on her.

I think those are the only three Nirvana North Stars! Of them, the Mexican baby is likely to be the cheapest to get hold of.

Don't forget Brazil! 

[LadyGuinevere]

That was already mentioned in the first post, wasn't it?

[Lady Starflower]

Yupp...there's only 3 Mexi baby, Brazil and Argie : )

[kellyponyfeathers]

Oh, I thought you were referring to the 2 Argie versions, plus the Mexi baby, which makes 3, but now I see what you meant. My oops!
