Coming from someone who wouldn't know a valuable pony if he saw one, I am still amazed that a slightly grubby toy like that can be a bargain at 410 bucks.

hey one went for over $1000Au a few weeks ago.

That was an alternate Gusty, instead of having green hair with a red streak, this one had red hair with a green streak.

The Alt. Gusty was alot more publicised in the pony community tho, which I think explains the ridiculous price.

[leemur.livejournal.com]

At those prices, I am guessing fakes would be a fairly comment event?

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

well there was a lot of speculation that alt. Gusty was just a custom job, but there are ways of telling. The tails are held with a metal clip and the mane is knotted and glued in a distictive way. Customs usually aren't so neat.

Customs are commonplace and often sold on eBay. But it's extremely frowned upon to try and pass a custom off as a genuine Hasbro release pony. Some customs however go for heaps too because some customisers are bloody brilliant artists. (have you seen my firedancer pony??)

I did?

*is confused* When did I insist I would win?

LOL, someone found my journal!

I saw Corina yesterday and she told me an Elizabeth Bennet had e-mailed her saying not to end it early because she wanted to win it.

The name was familiar, I've seen it about, but do you have a pony name?? I'm trying to think if I actually know who you are. :)

Congrats on winning her by the way, she's a beauty.

Oh, that:) lol, yeah, I just really hate it when there´s something I really want and someone ends it early. I´m 'elizabeth aka MJ lover' on MLPTP, so I guess that counts as my pony name

Re: I did?

ahhh, so I DO know who you were. I wasn't sure if you were one of these mysterious people that always wins really rare stuff but never appears in pony communities.

Well, if it make's someone happy why not pay for a bit of happiness?
And also, 'slightly grubby plastic' is 20 years old?
You should see what men will pay for a 'slightly gubby' woman?

Holy Jesus crimony!! I had no idea it would get THAT high! Definitely Corina will be happy - good for her!

That's just $150 or so shy of what Wolfie's reverse Gusty went for... Personally, I think that's way too much for the Peru pony, but to each his own and it is beautiful.

I didn't know Elizabeth Bennet said she would win - where did she say that?

I did not!

I did not say I would win!! lol:) I just wrote and asked her not to end the auction early because I really wanted a go at it.
