Seeking advice on whether or not to sell a MoC Sunset Shimmer

[phoenixsoul85]

I was one of the lucky ones who purchased Sunset Shimmer from Hasbro a while back.  She still has not appeared in stores and I hear a lot of people want her.  I bought 2 so I'd have a back up in case one looked bad but they both looked great. I scouted out ebay and there are a ton for sale.  Almost all from China.  Mostly loose.  Should I even try to sell her?  What would be a fair price?  Is there anyone on here that is interested?  If I do it on here does it count as trade points?  I would appreciate any help.

My ebay is grvtydefyinwitch if you'd like to check me out.  I don't currently have anything for sale but you can see my stellar feedback.

Me personally... I would either tried to sell it immediately or I'd end up hanging onto it FOREVER... I'm sure you'd get interest in her - but as for the price I have no idea. I think she's going to be a pretty popular pony, but if she's not out in stores yet, now may be the time to try and sell her for a price "above stores" (at least above $6?) and make a bit of money off of her. I mean, yes, sounds kinda... "mean" or whatever, but honestly, all sellers need to make a buck or two, we can't sell everything at cost!

Honestly I don't think you could sell her for more than you paid at Hasbrotoyshop + shipping, unless you got free shipping, and even then, you stand to make what, $2 $3?  Doesn't sound worth it to me.

I had one and put her up for sale one ebay. She went out for $10.00. And was shipped to her new owner in Canada. I would sell your extra if I was you.

I bet she will start flooding stores later this year.  You have to be patient - G4s are NOT a quick money maker.  Like all "collectible toys", you  generally need to hang onto them for at least a year or two after thier manufacture date/release for them to appreciate in value much. 

Otherwise, yes, she is still worth retail prices currently.

I found her at Kmart last weekend. I didn't know she "hasn't hit stores yet" (I'm not up on all of the latest issued ponies). I'd recommend selling your extra ASAP before she's easy to find in stores, and worth no more than retail.

for me i just found her in Tru.

if you are ready to ship internationally, I'm sure you would have some interest! ^^
and yes, if you sell her or trade her through the Arena, you should get feedback from the person that got her

Perhaps trading her would be a better idea than selling?

She has been available in some stores which have reached that wave and she will be in most stores soon enough - you will probably find that a lot of people will be happy to wait it out until they are certain she can not simply be purchased retail.

But you may manage to trade her for something else you are interested in? And then leave feedback for one another.

I sold mine for 10.26 after fees from ebay and paypal.

I'vealso seen her, at TRU, if that helps any. You better sell/trade her quick!
