PC: Starshine

[Broken Irishwoman]

Hi!

How much should I expect to pay for a near mint, snow white Starshine? I'm looking for her as a gift for my husband. I thought she was kind of common, so the prices I saw on eBay seemed rather high to me?

Thanks!

I'd say she goes rather high. She's common, but prone to symbol rust. And white ponies often tend to yellow over time. That's make her more uncommon in nm condition.

I believe I paid like $15 or a little more (can't really remember) for mine in that condition. But that was a couple of years ago so I don't know if prices have changed since.

With problems I've seen her around 15, minty white or close too I've seen her go between 25-30

Oh wow, I had no idea she went that high! Thanks!

me too. i would wait and watch, see if someone here is got a cheaper one. i got a mint white one for about 10 but that was a few years back....maybe i was just lucky.
there are 2 types of ss, one with a slightly softer body prone to cancer/age spots. the one with a slightly harder body is prone to yellowing but that's ok they are easily enough to sun-fade back to a nice white.  i didn't realize about the symbol rust though, i better keep a close eye on mine.

$7-8 - I would not pay any more than that (and I would prefer to be $6). She is popular but one of the more common ponies. Be careful you are not judging price by BIN prices as they do tend to be higher than a pony would normally sell for.

I have the latter version..she has got a cute pinkish hue to her, plus the typical symbol rust but I don't mind..  which year is which? I know they made her two different times, I always was curious which one mine was..

Ah, thanks.     I can usually figure out most acronyms, even if I'm not familiar with them, but I got stuck on that one.
