Matus 130 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 (edited) I saw that someone was spending $400 on a DJ-PON3 plushie (Bronyism's FB page) and someone bought a Fluttershy Doormat for $10,000. Anyone else see anymore ridiculous offers/buys? I mean I know people like ponies a lot but 10,000 is a lot don't you think?

Shankveld 4,945 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 I've probably spent close to $400 on all my pony stuff (maybe more) and what? If they want it and they have the money, then let it be. ~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone just threw $10,000 at another person in order to wipe their feet on Fluttershy's face. Seriously. Dafaq?

HunterTSN 1,444 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 I once spent less then $20 for a shirt, I know crazy right! I'm still trying to figure how I pulled that one off XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterone 1,203 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Why would a person pay that much for something so easy to make AND get. The most money I've spent on ponies is about 11 dollars. That's insaaaane, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,274 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Wow...That person has to be one of the richest bronies in the world if he spent $10,000 on a doormat. I could probably spend a little over $150-200 on separate pony stuff, but to spend $10,000 on one small doormat is insane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTSN 1,444 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 (edited) Remember that Lyra plushie? yeah that one... It was sold for $750 to a 40 year old man who didn't have a job and lived alone in a crappy one room apartment and couldn't even pay his monthly taxes... Just think about that for a while Edited July 28, 2012 by thesteampunkninja 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystal 1,468 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 I can't believe that doormat went from $0.01 to $10,000! I wish people would bid like that when I put stuff on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladmireV.S.(Crank) 1,096 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 I've spent this on ponies: 10$ on movie 3$ on coloring book 200$ on 2 plushies: doctor whooves and rainbow dash aroun 100$ on figurines 50$ on a Pinkie Pie pillow and 300$ on brony clothes and accesories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohtty 1,775 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Lol EQD posted a link to a store that sells gold plated MLP brushables with diamond eyes for 400-something dollars. 10k for a doormat is WAY to much considering you could probably call of a doormat manufacturer and have 100 doormats constructed for the same amount. I'm sure there is a "custom" doormat creation website somewhere for a fraction of that price. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarStep 42 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 For that fluttershy doormat those were probably just troll bids. They happen more often then you think. Someone bids outrageous amounts and then dont pay for the goods. It's happened to a couple of plushies I've seen causing some people to think they are getting a couple thousand for their work then it was a troll. Some people do it on purpose to try to get the goods for cheaper later using their real ebay accounts. Since the plush won't go into another compilation post and people think it already sold there won't be as many bidders so it sells for cheaper than it probably would have the first time around. The most expensive real bid that I can recall of the top of my head is the first life size rainbow dash plush that sold for about 5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,876 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 Ponies, please. There was that one Chrysalis plush that was literally 2000 dollars. Bucking ridiculous xD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasistersincethe80s 126 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 I don't know what's worse.. People paying that much or the people that have the common pony stuff and think it's worth a lot more.. I saw a blind bag Cherry Berry (Wave 3) with no card and the people said it was rare and not available in the U.S... I called them on their bullshit, I came across 4 of them while going through the blind bag box. I know a woman who made a 4 foot tall Fluttershy that was excellent! Much better than that 5 grand Rainbow Dash and she wanted 600$ for it, it was completely hand stitched of Minky material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its handstitched and its much bigger than the regular plushie you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasistersincethe80s 126 July 28, 2012 Share July 28, 2012 She does really nice work.. I'm having her make me a plush Derpy, then I will go on to the Mane 6. For the amount of time she put into that huge plushie, I think she was screwing herself by only asking for 600$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 33 July 29, 2012 Share July 29, 2012 It's because most of it gets on EqD, of course people will spend a lot. And... my post is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Rising 2,156 July 29, 2012 Share July 29, 2012 Yeah complete waste of money lol. I could build a plushie the size of a house for $10,000. People are just too wasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlunderSteed 1,251 July 29, 2012 Share July 29, 2012 We've probably spent $400-500, possibly a little more... 50 or so toys 2 t-shirts 1 Derpy mailbag-style tote 1 DVD The show in HD on iTunes I'm also looking into getting some custom pieces made: - a heavy duty luggage strap with my name and Luna's cutie mark (to easily identify my bag while traveling) - various NLR and Shadow Bolt patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatia 37 August 2, 2012 Share August 2, 2012 (edited) The d***u person bumping the bid up the price from 2500 up by $4000 more looks to me like the workings of a hoax. Who would do that?? it's not like it's the Christies and everyone knows who bought your precious item, ebay is anonymous as. Could just have had a buddy's account, borrowed and returned that 10k.
