Attack of the Pony People 3 Electric Boogalee

 Today someone tried to sell some ponies on a G1 pony board. Said post was met with a snarky "But I thought you wanted that pony for months, you bought it from my friend so and so and now you're selling it?" 

I can see both sides of this argument, but again it's petty, shallow BS on both sides.

OP Was all like "I want _____ pony" over and over on the boards until she finally got said pony. Now, I don't know how much was paid for said pony  or where she wound up buying but she wanted 75 pounds for it, which is a lot even for that semi-sought after pony.

While it was not the replie-ee's business, I can see her point. Whining that you want that pony on the boards for months and then once you get it - selling it on said board is a little tacky.

I bought a mail order pony a couple of months ago because it looked like a fun project, I was eh about the actual pony. I was happy to have a project for that time being. When I sold her, I felt not a twinge of regret, I made a whole $20 profit, which I figure was payment for me sitting her under a UV light for two months removing brown spots and the original shipping. I turned around and bought what I REALLY wanted with the proceeds which was a rare G2 baby that went with one I already had bought here at a flea market. Now I have the set.

However, I did not go on the boards saying I want ____MO pony for months and then turn around and sell it on the very board I frequent right in front of God and everybody. I bought it on eBay for an okay price and sold it on another venue months later. I don't breathe a word about what I want and what I have, it just feels lame to beg and brag. I have quietly racked up a decent collection of variants, I enjoy them and if someone has a question that I can answer because of variant ownership, then I answer it, but I am not going to go "LOOK LOOK at my shelves of expensive shit" and then go selling it on those boards too...lol. I dunno, I think both people were assholes here.
