I jumped onto eBay to check out what was up with MLP sales and I came across something that looks a bit suspicious. I hate to accuse any seller of dishonesty and this could be just a crazy coincidence, but I figured I'd share with others and see what people think.
Anyway, there's a big lot of some 300 ponies (according to the description).

The pictures are pretty blurry, but I was able to make out a lot of the ponies being sold. I didn't think much about this until I hit upon another auction.

What makes this suspicious is the fact that these are by two different sellers but if you look, the ponies in the UK lot happen to be ponies sold in the big lot - and they look to be in the same condition. Furthermore, both of these people live in the same location, both have only 2 feedbacks, both have the same type of auction description, both were posted using eBay Mobile and both even use the same gray plastic tote bin. Hmm.
I looked at what the seller of the UK lot is also selling and surprisingly, there are other lots of ponies that have matching ponies (in the same condition) in the big lot by a different seller.
(Another Example: My Little Pony Big Brother Pony | eBay - This looks a lot like the Barnacle in the large lot!)
Of course people can have the same ponies, or one seller can have duplicates, but something just doesn't sit well with all the similarities between these "two" sellers' ponies. It looks as if someone is auctioning the collection as one full lot, then breaking it up and posing as someone else to sell them in smaller lots.
I really hope I'm wrong about the sellers (or seller)! I like to try giving people the benefit of the doubt, but as I said before, something just doesn't sit well with me.
