I don't think it's a bad price as Starglow regularly sells for $50 as well. Princess Sunbeam is also there and she has all her tinsel forelock . . . I would think she'd be worth about $15 - $20? So the final price wasn't bad. The whole situation still irks me though... Yeah I feel irked too. You know what's even worse? The person who bought his ponies probably wouldn't have even done so if not for this thread pointing out German Tiffany and Starglow Oh boy what makes you think that?

The person who bought his ponies probably wouldn't have even done so if not for this thread pointing out German Tiffany and Starglow Oh boy what makes you think that? I think the Arena gets a lot of traffic. Someone reading the thread could have been like "Oh yeah, I DO need German Tiffany- and can probably sell that Starglow..." or something ;DI'm not annoyed at the collector- just annoyed at the guy who wouldn't listen and who appears to have been trying to trick people into thinking his ponies were something they were not...
It irritates me that someone got screwed over.
But the buyer didn't get screwed over at all, they got pretty valuable ponies for a good price. Maybe for cheaper than if the seller had just put up an auction.The seller had pictures from multiple angles, there's no way a buyer would think they were TAFs unless they didn't know what TAF meant. In which case it shouldn't be a selling point for them anyway.
They paid $100 total, the seller dropped the price. I guess I can post the link since the listing is closed now:Link to eBay auction
Ooo, could be Euro CJ!Yeah, I agree on researching value. A lot of eBay sellers put "RARE!!" in their listing title when they are totally MLP-ignorant and are just trying to use buzzwords to generate a sale. The fastest way to research is to put in "My Little Pony {pony's name}" and search the Sold listings on eBay. That will show what people have actually paid for a pony in the past. Or if the seller didn't list the pony's name, put their photo in Google Image Search and it will probably come up with the name and set of the pony.

European CJ's symbols are darker, that looks like a standard Y3 CJ with a symbol at the darker end of normal, personally. Euro CJSpoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginUK CJ Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginBoth clearly darker. Definitely not the UK one anyway as the hair is wrong, but her symbol looks more like this to me...Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or login...Which is a regular y3 pony.

That's still dishonest. Its one thing not to know, its another to willfully ignore what someone more knowledgeable tells you just to make a buck. Should I then put a bunch of fakie and cheap g3 babies up for a pretty penny by touting them as a super rare set? That would be wrong. The buyer still got screwed. It is a nice lot that anyone would be happy to own, but not at the expense of being deliberately deceived.
Yeah, I wondered that too, since Perle is in the lot, and some of the others did have continental releases...but looking at the photo I'm 99% sure that's a normal regular CJ.CJ is a sort of army pony for me, and she has a lot of different symbol prints in the normal 1985 release, but the European and UK ones have a distinctively darker symbol. After squinting at it, I don't think that's it.Also, on balance, I am not sure that Sunbeam was sold in Germany, which is where Perle was sold. She was sold in the Netherlands, but that's not the same thing...and Perle wasn't sold in the Netherlands as far as I am aware.Also I think...and someone in Germany can confirm...but I think Italian CJ is more common in Germany than the European one. I am not totally sure if the European one was sold in Germany. Ponies can cross borders...but if the lot was from the US, that's a bit of a lot of convenient coincidence for me.I'd also probably guess from how silky her hair is, that Starglow most likely originated stateside. It's not a general rule but there were some weird things that happened with hair in that year in general when it came to Europe.
