A couple of weeks ago I decided to get rid of excess pony. I logged onto a pony group and priced them at deep discounts because I hadn't bothered to clean them up and photograph them individually.
Since pony people and Cabbage Patch people are why I now have 2 defects, I refuse to sell them on ebay any longer. Most people on the board were happy to pay the price I asked and bought in bulk. A couple asked for trades, which I get, because people don't always have money lying around. I traded some unwanted 80's ponies for wanted 2000's Ponyville.
This one bitch whined about the $10 I wanted for a flutter with replacement wings, and asked if I wanted to trade. I peruse her list, and see that she has one of two ponies I want. We agree on a trade, then she waffles and decides she wants something else with the flutter. I offer up other shit, but she is uninterested. Now she's decided that she wants me to trade the flutter and now money too...she's been jerking me around for almost a month now...we started this negotiation on September 29th. I am D.O.N.E....no, scratch that, I am fuckin' D.O.N.E.
That fuckin' pony she has will come up and I can probably get it for less than $15, I was asking $10 for the flutter on Etsy, which would also cost $2.50 to ship, so I'd be out $12.50 plus whatever money this chick wants. Nope. Relisting the flutter. The point was to make money, or get something I need/want, not spend money.
I don't understand how it can be hard for someone to figure out things like this.
You want pony x. I have pony x. You have pony y, I would like pony y. You trade me pony y for pony x, who gives a shit about value...we have what each other wants and it's ballpark same price range $10-$15. Here's my address, here's my address. Go to P.O., mail it. Done. Should take less than 48 hours. Not 26 FUCKIN' DAYS!
Then I have people who say "hold this for me" and then disappear like an Etsy buyer. I have had a perfume puff pony on hold for a couple weeks now. DONE. The fucker is going on Etsy...FULL PRICE.
Appendix 11/20/14...I did buy the pony in question on ebay for $15 MIB. Hers is loose. However, we did wind up agreeing to a trade and so now I've got two of the pony in question, lol.
