Pony Flipper: sam2600420- undisclosed flaws & inaccurate description

[ChipsteRJ]

Greetings,

I understand that we all do it to some extent, but to see a pony sold with a FALSE inaccurate description rehaired being listed for 3X the price it was purchased for makes me sick.


I know I can't post live links, so here is the one I sold:
 http://www.ebay.com/itm/322015488625?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649


I suppose the best I can do is BLOCK the buyer and confront her about the inaccurate description. If that is the same hair she certainly did wonders, but my pony had cut hair & cancer.

I would certainly ask questions regarding re-hairing any ponies you decide to buy from this seller.

Wow.  I found the other auction via the seller's username and that is 100% your Thundercloud with a rehair job.  I can see the same faded pen mark in your pictures and their pictures.

Here is their description for those who can't find the auction. (Click the image to make it bigger.)

NO mention that the hair isn't original.  For shame.

[ponyqueen]

Wow. The hair isn't even the same color!

[ChipsteRJ]

I guess what makes me most upset is not that she gave him a new life, but didn't even hang on to him long enough to enjoy owning him... hardly a month later.

I've never seen anything wrong with people flipping. I've had people do it with my stuff and if they can make more good for them. I would say though rehairing and not stating it though is a different matter and pretty awful.

Honestly, I flip all the time, because I often find what I need for cheap in lots, and I like bringing all the other ponies back into the community. But to re-hair and not disclose it is really awful. As someone who's not a fan of re-hairs, I'd be pissed. I personally can spot a fresh re-hair a mile away, but if it's played with, or styled, sometimes it's super hard to see, and you don't realize until it's too late, and the pony is in your hands. I can't find her listing in current, complete or sold, maybe she took it down, but if it is your pony (and going on your word and those of others, I'll assume it is) she's epically naive to think she'll get away with something so brazen only a month after buying the pony, on the same website. If I see something like that on ebay not disclosed, I usually send off an email playing dumb and asking questions about if it has had new hair put in, or if it is a custom or the real thing.. usually it guilt's them into an honest response or the item disappears for a while. If not, I click the report button and block them.

I tried to find the auction but I couldn't find it either  .  Ok, so she bought him to sell for a profit, fine, but if its the same pony and she has not disclosed flaws *and* even worse, has rehaired him, then that is definitely a big no no     thanks for the heads up

[ChipsteRJ]

He is still listed. $125
"My Little Pony Mountain Boy Thunder Cloud Flawed Purple Pink Recurled Hair RARE"

Additionally the cancer spots are not shown in her photos.

I saw it too. The seller curled the pony's hair. Search under the user's name and/or BIN listings.

They must have done more than "just" curled the existing hair. He ABSOLUTELY had hair & tail trims. She states  "there appears to be no cuts".

In the listing, you can ask a question. If you were to submit a question in that section below the item description (like, has this pony been rehaired), would it appear publicly for everyone to view, not just in private message?

No, not necessarily. Sellers have the option of posting questions, but they do NOT have to post the question on the listing.

I didn't mean to imply they just curled the hair. I meant they probably curled it to cover up the fact that it has been rehaired. I never said " just" in my original post. Chill out.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Well it has been BIN'ed now by somebody.     Thanks for letting us know!

It shows as active for me.  Maybe there was a buyer but they backed out?
