Price-check needed on big list of Nirvanas, please help!

[Whippycorn]

What a list!

Yah... I won't PM you but... I need your argie Tuneful. 

[shelti]

You should go ahead and put the ones up for Offers that people have pm'd you about in the Nirvana Sales forums
with a reserve in mind. 
This happens quite often now with Price Requests.
Your Argie sparkle ponies are quite valuable.
The Princess Variants as you know can be very fickle on the prices
depending on who is looking as are the Happy Tail cross overs.

The German Princess Variants are running $75-$85.
and if you have a glow in the dark Princess Variant you can pull in around $350.00 for one
Lots of people looking for any glow in the dark.

Good luck with your sales.

Shelti that's a good idea... maybe I will do that.
I don't think my princess variants are glow in the dark, but I'll double-check.

[kellyponyfeathers]

Yep, I'd be interested in making offers on a lot of them too, but I don't want to swamp you with more PM's, so I'm patiently sitting on my hands.

Umm, if you're going to be taking offers, may I suggest that you do it in groups of maybe 5 to 10 ponies at a time?  Otherwise, you're just going to be swamped with PM's, and it would be hard to keep track of offers if you try to sell so many nirvanas at once.  Plus, I don't know about the rest of your guys, but if I see 10 nirvanas I want, I almost just feel pulled in too many directions.  So moodymand, you might get more for your ponies if you give your bidders' wallets a chance to recover somewhat between rounds.  Maybe you could break it down into groups by country.

Some collectors like me might want you to hold their wins for a few rounds so they can combine shipping.  Personally I hate to spend 20 bucks on shipping, and then buy another pony from the same seller a week or two later; I'd rather just delay shipping for a few weeks so it can be combined.

I definitely see a few I'm interested in. I'll keep an out for your sales/offers thread.

[Jadis4742]

I can help with the Shy Poses -

Brazil Parasol - $40-$60
Brazil Gusty - $50-$80
Greek Parasol (Orange) - take offers on this one. Last ebay auction ended above $200, I believe.


...and I need to throw my hat in the ring for your Argie Brillitos Futterbye. I need her for my Shy Pose Army!

[moodymand]

Thanks for the values Jadis I just have the Italians left to price I think.
kellyponyfeathers - I think I may follow your advice. I don't want to stretch it out for too long, as I don't want to be running back and forth to the PO for weeks on end - I have a busy life But I will definitely break it down a little.

I'm afraid I didn't get around to taking photos today - I've been busy preparing for an art show. I will get that done sometime this week.

Also I am definitely going to be opening offers on the ones I've had interest and PMs about (seems to be the same ponies, haha). I hope that's ok with you guys. Those of you who PMd me, I will get back to you and let you know in advance of me opening the offers. I'll also probably take offers on the ones I can't get a value for (there are some I have no clue about and I can't find any ended listings, plus being out of the pony loop for a long time...) I actually also found that I have an Argie red-haired Tickle that wasn't on my original list.

It's going to be a busy couple of weeks for me but I will get those pics sorted soon

mandy

I will see if I can help with these few

German Princess Amber/Starburst
G. Princess Sapphire/Royal Blue
G. Princess Aquamarine/Serena
G. Princess Ruby/Primrose
G. Princess Pearl/Tiffany

the german princesses I would value at $60-$80 each Princess Aquamarine might go lower since her she is not that much different to her regular counter part, unless she had the bubble gum pink hair or the pink-lilac hair.

German TE Speedy (pale) ~ $20ish
Greek Parasol (orange version) ~ pass!
Macau Cotton Candy - white hair version ~ $50-$60
Macau Cotton Candy - peach with pink hair ~ $45ish
Macau Bluebelle ~ $35-$45

Starflower (No Country - has glitter symbols) ~ $25
Confetti (No Country) ~ $15-$20
Trickles (No Country) ~ $15-$25
TAF Love Melody (Trickles pose - No Country) ~ pass!
Parasol (No Country - non-glitter symbols) ~ $40-$60
Moonstone (Made in Spain) ~ $30 her spain hoof mark is HTF
Peachy - white hair (No Country) ~ $40-$45
Mexican Skydancer ~ $25

I think the last
TAF Love Melody (Trickles pose - No Country)
that was sold at the Arena went for around $150.00 - $200.00 range, maybe more

[Sebby6]

Definitely do them in lots - I can't afford all the ones I want at once lol

Just wondered - are you also Mandy85 or am I getting you two mixed up?

[moodymand]

Pink! How are you doing Nice to see you around here! Thanks for those values that's a big help.


Shelti - thanks I actually had a closer look at my Love Melody and I have a suspicion she's a rehair. I will be getting some photos of the inside of her head and her tail also, to double-check with you guys. He mane and tail are the fading-pink sort (but still quite pink). She also has a standard tail clip, like the HK ponies, just the little metal tube clasp... and I know that one of my other Spain ponies has an odd-looking large metal tail clip with words printed on it. So if that is a standard feature of Spain ponies, then this girl is definitely rehaired! I'll get some pics as soon as I can.

Sebby - I'm not Mandy85 but I think I remember your username from years ago on the UK MLP Yahoo board... I could be thinking of someone else!

[Sebby6]

That probably was me yeah. I'm sorry to hear you are selling up.

[moodymand]

It's ok... I think it's the right time. I have held on to them for long enough and have sold off various ponies over the years til I was left with the Nirvanas... and they just sat in a box upstairs. I was collecting them when I lived at home and had much more disposable income - I'm probably not going to be in that position again any time soon, and I figured I may as well let them go to active collectors

i'm glad to be of help to you.

LM is repinked you sent her to me a loooooooong time ago, maybe 2004? I still have pictures of her I am pretty sure her tail was the original one

it sounds like the other spain pony has the odd tail
