My first AB eyes Italy : Blue Belle!

[Einhornbaby]

After 12 years of collecting I finally bought myself an airbrushed eyes Italy Pony! Its Blue Belle!
I just have to share her <3 Lol I come to think that I might have a thing for Blue Belle... my first greek was Blue Belle, my first "new" Macau (recently aquirred on a flea market lol) after I sold mine and not buying them back for years was Blue Belle too. Its kinda funny
But anyway, here she is

Sadly I found out after buying that she is a rehair (hair is "too new" and too tidily in the ends, single streaks can easily be pulled, neck is injured from a knife, residues of superglue...). She also has a two pink marks on her NDS (face) and I need to give her another good clean with a magic eraser to get rid of some dirt but all over she is really pretty! I already love her a lot, shes really cute!
She btw has only 2 stamps and pretty light symbols compared to the pics I found at My Little Wiki.
As I have never bought an AB eyes Italy before, how much do they go for normally? I might add some others to the family For Blue Belle I paid 18€ including shipping, is that an ok price?

I see, so it's you who bought her. I saw her too, just didn't have the impulse to actually buy her. But the auction description only said something of some slight gap between her head and body so I'm quite surprised she is a rehair and has some exacto knife injuries to her neck seam. Wow...
Anyway, glad you like her, she definitely is a beauty despite that unlucky surprise you had with her. ^_^

Can not help much with pricing I'm afraid, but I bought an AB eyes italy pony too not long ago, too. It was Butterscotch in quite good condition and I paid her around 32 Euros incl. shipping. I think I bought her expensive but yours should still be in about the realistic range.

I think the slight gap between her head and body - thing that was listed in the description was to describe the fact that the head does not fit too well on the body. I often had that happen on italian ponies, I guess thats pretty normal. The neck seems more round while the head is more oval shaped... hm I guess that was what it meant.
As Blue Belle was described so exact, including the tiniest spots and such, I think the owner didnt know she was a rehair. I asked her about it and she stated she bought her like that. The work was well done, you only see it when you look really close and have some experience in rehairing. Well, I didnt do anything about it, now just trying to enjoy the pony and not feeling bad about her. I though keep the sellers name in mind.

Thank you for all your comments! She will now soon join the others in my ponyroom, cant wait to set them up new to fit her in (I have a shelf for collectors variants only, they look so cute when standing all in a row <3)

I went and checked. Eight of my twelve Italians have ab eyes. Here I just thought they were messy.
