Is this a good price for these ponies RESOLVED

[Vintergatan]

Dunno about the rest, but Tiddly winks goes for $3 in good condition on the arena so this is not a bargain
I would not risk it, it all seems way too suspicious. i also highly recommend you give Arena a try, as Hathorcat said, this is a very protective community and if anyone tries to scam you, you will ave the backing of this community.
Maybe try buying something really cheap, see how it goes?

It is completely your call of course But I can assure you that if you do decide to wait it out you will find Bow Tie on ebay for a much better price and hopefully from a seller with a better feedback. 

Also can I ask why you would be worried to use the Arena for sales? We are a very protective community and tend to out scammers as quickly as possible on here.

I've just been waiting for a Bow Tie softie for as long as I've been collecting, and its the cheapest I've ever seen it, so I just want to pounce x3. I am waiting for a reply, assuming I ever get one. If I don't get more photographs I'll wait for more time, it wouldn't be worth the risk.

I'm not sure, I just don't like using Paypal for anything other than eBay. Its other functions confuse and scare me :b.

I might try the arena at some point x3, I'm just not sure quite yet.

Mine is a whole LOT cheaper than that...I'll even walk you through how to use Paypal for an Arena purchase if you'd like!

[himmie]

As I said earlier in the thread, it's not worth the risk. The prices are not that great. That combined with the fact that the seller has poor feedback and is using photos from other sellers...definitely not worth it.

I definitely recommend buying from Arena members. We aren't so bad. Just check a seller's feedback and make Paypal payments as Goods. You're protected then.

Thank you a lot for the offer, I will consider using the Arena for buying now ;w;

As I said, I'm asking for another photograph, if the seller doesn't deliver, not bothering, if they do deliver and they look crappy cond., I'm not going to bother.

I will consider the arena, but the idea does still scare me a little x3

I'm not selling anything here, so maybe I can help give an unbiased opinion.      No need to be scared about buying from Arena members.   Everyone here is super friendly.  If you see something you like, you can just send the seller a personal message instead of posting in their thread if you prefer.  And as the others have said, if you ever do have a problem with someone not shipping your purchase you can file a claim though paypal within 45 days and get your money back.

I haven't bought any ponies from Amazon, but I have bought ponies from other members here and also on ebay.  I've never had a problem with a purchase from here.  Also, I'm much happier with my ponies from here because the sellers describe any pony flaws so much better where on ebay you occasionally come across people who will hide their flaws.  I have a pony from ebay that was supposed to be in "great condition" but her entire right side is faded to a different shade.

Awww, I get where you're coming from!  Like Razena, I'm not trying to sell anything, and I can totally relate to the idea of buying from the Arena being a little daunting.   It took me quite a while to go from lurker to member, and a while after that to make my first trade (thanks again, BabyIceCrystal )... but as you might notice by my trade count (which counts purchases too; that's the bulk of my count right there!), it didn't take me long after that to feel right straight at home with it.   Besides, we're collectors selling to/trading with/buying from other collectors, and we generally tend to a) know what we're talking about in terms of pony condition and value, and b) look out for one another.

I do still buy from eBay (and also Etsy), but to be honest, I generally feel far happier with my purchases from the Arena.  I've gotten burned a couple times with yucky ponies that looked okay on eBay...

Anyway, best of luck to you with your purchasing, and do let us know how it all goes for you.

(PS:  That $3 sounded like a lot for that particular Tiddley-Winks... I forget how many I have in my fixer-uppers, but she seems fairly common... her and Cuddles both, just so's you know. )

Your call, but they are overpriced and I would never trust anyone who steals other people's photos. Even if they were good prices they don't deserve your money.

[BowtieG1]

I'm not going to bother.

Its been nearly two days and they haven't replied to my message, so I doubt they ever will.

Oh well.

[zora]

i would not buy from that seller. it looks very risky that you do not get what you see..

dewprincess has a bow tie plushie for sale for 5 USD as she wrote above, i recommend buying from arena members, especially when they have many positive feedbacks!

[StoryDreamer]

I've bought from Dewprincess in person and she is a doll. I bought a Cherrie's Jubilee pushlie from her. She held a pony for me and I didn't ask for any pictures, and when I picked it up, it was perfectly as described. No worries!

As I said in the post above, I'm not bothering. They clearly aren't willing to help a possible buyer be more sure of their purchase. I asked for a group photograph to prove he/she owns them and they haven't replied, so whatever. I wouldn't have minded poor cond. its fun cleaning them up!

As I've said a lot now, I will probably consider the Arena after all of the positive reviews people have given it, and particularly Dewprincess

I think you've got the best advice right here!  I'll be adding this seller to my Bad Trader List anyway so thank you for their ID.

They can't answer your email because they stole those pictures from the internet.   

I would start by buying some ponies off the Arena from some long-time members/regular sellers until you are comfortable with how Paypal works outside of Ebay.   

[mercynova]

Those are not good prices at all for any of those to be honest. I would steer clear!
