G3 Tinsel + Hair Straightener = Disaster

x_+

Do not try to use Clearasil on a pony, no matter how many people told you it works.

Am still looking for a Moonstone in perfect condition. If anyone wants spotted ones, ask me. I have like, three.

Oh Chibi, that's terrible!!!! Mine would be to always ask the seller for more pics. I ended up with a baby pony with green INSIDE her legs(marker) and a shaved forelock!!!

You know the fading hair thing? Yeah, that.

Also, never try to cut the head off a G3 with an X-Acto knife that has a blade which loves to randomly come off. Quite the painful lesson.

#1: Don't buy from people with very little to zero feedback, esp foreign auctions. (lost $80)
#2: Sending stuff to Mexico is a huge gamble, there's a major problem over the boarder with items being opened, stolen, delayed for months, etc.
#3. Try your best not to get into a bidding war!
#4. Ask the price of shipping from international sellers before bidding! ($18 for 4 ponies, yikes!)

Sending stuff to my country (Honduras) is a gamble too, My Cinammon Breeze was delated like almost 2 monts :nervous:

No wonder you were scared about it, Sapphire!

When living overseas with a US Address, make sure sellers know you are really in the US.

I had it out with one ebay seller who sold to US only (APO/FPO is considered US - even for shipping costs - so I bid). They tried telling me I was getting no pony and a neg for bidding since I didn't read auction terms. I eventually won the nasty email battle but whoooo what a hassle.

I learned the hard way not to ship out ponies before you receive payment, no matter how nice the person seems to be. ::sighs:: Yup, that was a $30-something lesson.

Don't sell to Rainbow Raindrops!

Ballerinas? With skirts?

Oh good gosh, you remembered!

Twinkle eyes that are pretty battered to the point where they start to look white in spots can't be fixed with nail polish. I bought a TE one time thinking I could fix up the eyes.. HA!

You *can't* fix TEs with nail polish? I've got a whole stack of them I was hoping to do just that to!

depends on what you mean.. make them look pearly- maybe.. but if they look like some kid scuffed them up really bad so they look white.. where they only look clear when you wet them-- i have yet to figure out a way to fix that.

Mph, that bites. Some of mine are white and all the sheen is gone.
