Caution with an ebay seller

[plushroo]

There are some Brazil ponies up for auction that have had bids canceled as the amounts seem to be lower than they were earlier. I thought they were bid retractions by the bidder, but someone in a Facebook group said the seller canceled all her bids as "wrong bid". That is not the only thing. They are selling a sitting Bowtie that has Minty's head and tail instead of the rainbow colored hair like the one in the Nirvana gallery. I can't post links as they are still running but thought I would give a heads up. This is mainly to warn any collectors who may be new to collecting nirvana about the Bowtie pony. The bid thing may be accidental.

Oh, good call!!!!  Thanks for the warning!  I missed that Minty/Bow-Tie head swap!

Maybe someone should contact the seller.  I read her description, and she may honestly think this is a variation of sitting bow-tie. 

One of the ponies was a bid retraction.

I know about the supposed sitting bowtie variant and TBH I don't think it is one. Its much more likely to be a Minty head on a bow tie body (- much like when Sarah Bee thought she was buying a greek ladybird pony and it ended up being a ladybird body but with a cotton candy head on top). Whether the seller is aware of this or they genuinely think they have a variant is harder to tell.
Its up to people if they want to take the risk, but I'm doubtful that its a real variant personally. If there is something going on with bids being cancelled too it would make me even more cautious
