Brazil Baby Factory Prototype?

[Galactica]

The auction is over now- either it ended or he ended it or someone complained to ebay and they ended it (they would do that if someone were selling something not legit)

We'll have to see if it comes back up...

hmm.. i can't help wondering if they took the auction down themselves or Ebay did.

I think they did it themselves. If I'm not mistaken, if ebay pulls an auction, it can't be found?

[Galactica]

Oh I think you are right!

I guess he got tired of pony-collectors nagging him to change it- lol

It's been relisted at a lower price on a 1 day auction.

Edit to add:
And by "lower" I mean, just slightly lower. Not accurate value considering that the pony is not a prototype.

That description is better at least but of course neglects the fact it's not a my little pony but a fakie, and a modern fakie at that. Not at all worth that price in my opinion. But at least they are trying to be more accurate. Not coming off my block list though.

Yea, the discription still doesn't make it clear that it's NOT an actual my little pony. At least they changed the add title & stuff, but still... not accurate.

Not only that the listing is still pre-1990 suggesting it is a vintage toy which as we have pointed out many times it is not.  IT was not released at the same time in the 80s as the original my little pony toys were.  So even if they are better they are still claiming it's some kind of rare promotional pony, and they are still claiming it is vintage which it is not.  I hate to be nit picky about it but if someone actually bought it they would be very upset to learn it's true origin.

[hokuspokus]

You're totally right Sarah, i don't judge that as nit picky, they still try to make the pony look more special/vintage/whatever than it is..

[Galactica]

Dishonest- especially when he now knows where the pony is from. 

[tootie_tails]

The pony is cute after all, and I'm a fakie collector so if I like a pony I don't mind if it doesn't look genuine. Would love to have it! Not at the price the seller is asking though. I would probably be willing to pay around $10-15 at the most.

I posted on the other forum. Hopefully nobody will be roped into the dishonesty.

I imagine the seller took it down because of the questions and answers at the bottom of the auction describing the pony as a new promotional toy that accompanies other Susi toys...    Does the new auction allow for questions to be asked?

Sometimes sellers just don't want to be constantly contacted and told they are wrong.
You've done everything you can, so perhaps just back away and let the seller do their own thing.

A heads up - this one has resurfaced on eBay again although the description seems right this time.
