Dang it, Patch...

I've found making fellow collecting friends really helps! I've gotten e-mails and pm's with ebay links to things I've been after forever from friends who knew and happened to spot it for me. This is while I was actively searching myself for those things. :) I've also had help from out of country folks with items from sellers that were available to them, but wouldn't ship to Canada. Of course, I return these favours whenever possible.

Luckily Patch and the tales ponies show up for sale often on ebay (just not shipping outside europe), and some of sites like tradera (Sweden?) regularly and often sell cheaper to local collectors there then the ones that get listed on ebay with worldwide shipping.

The Tales and Dutch ponies are also very regular to be found on Dutch auction sites (Marktplaats, Speurders, Dutch ebay). Just keep a lookout for them. They can sell pretty fast out there!
I recently bought Starlight -I was very lucky- within an hour after posting, for only €2,50! The seller apparently really wanted to get rid of all his ponies and I was more than happy to help him with that :winkpony:
Last week a Mimic was sold on the same auction site for 70 euro's within two days.
The shipping costs from Holland to Portugal are around 11 euro's, so definitely worth it if you can find another Patch out there at a low price!

Well, I'll make sure to check out those sites! Thanks, HighFlyer! Though I probably won't be looking for Patch anymore, I took FF's offer to fix her up for me. :smilepony: I will, however, try to hunt down more Tales ponies eventually, contrary to what I thought before. :p

Can anyone answer my question of whether or not it takes time for refund money to show up on your account? I wanted to be able to answer the seller, leave feedback and get this over with as soon as possible.
 
My personal advice is keep her. Get other baity ponies if you're not confident about cleaning them up, but then, once you feel good about it, go to town. You'll probably be really happy with how you can clean Patch up. If you ever need any tips or tricks, PM me! I love fixing up dirty, tail-rusty ponies :)
