I meeeean, she was wrong but personally I wouldn't be trying to torque off anyone offering a pony for $2. What if she gets actual vintage G1s and prices them the same way, ha ha.
This happens a lot with Barbies as well. Some people will see the 1966 stamped on Barbie’s back or waist and assume that was the year the doll was made when really it’s the copyright date of the mold so a doll that was made in 2000 might still have the 1966 date. It’s hard for me think of how long ago I graduated from high school or that Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears G1 ponies and Rainbow Brite are all over 30 years old. I’ve always thought that vintage was acceptable for things that are 30-40 years old although I’ve seen that term used for items that are 20 years old or less. I think a lot of people use vintage to mean old/classic especially for toy lines that are still around like ponies and Barbie’s. Ponyfan

I collect Mod Barbie and i can't tell you how many seller will tell me a 90s Barbie is Mod because of dating or clothing style. The same happens with ponies. I collect mainly G1 and my friend often brings g3.5 to me because it is MLP. I don't even try to explain the differences to her lol. For collectors there are huge differences, but to others they have no idea.People are going to do their own thing when it comes to what they think. It's just part of how the world works. Vintage antique all of that is going to be different for different people. Just like mint is really different than a pony that is just in perfect condition.
Not that there's really a logic behind why most expensive ponies are expensive, mostly they're odd ones in sets that are no rarer than the others in the set but somehow have gained more interest and just become more expensive...O.o. So I guess non-collectors can be forgiven.
