Buying Pony Plushies on Ebay

[Bronyette 835]

Hello~ I'm planning to buy my little cousin a Derpy plushie on Ebay (maybe one for me as well  ) and I was wondering where I could get a good quality plushie without spending a fortune. 

 

I've seen the plushies made in china and I was wondering if they were safe to buy, and if they were decently put together. 

 

 So if you have any ideas please tell me. 

 

Edit: He probably would like a Dr.Whooves as well, so if anyone finds one within a decent price range that would be AMAZING~!

Funny enough, I bought a Derpy plush on eBay awhile ago...I still have her and she's been holding up rather well!

 

You can find my review of her in the link below.

If you desire to buy a good plush then it will not be too easy to find one that does not cost around 150 dollars or more. I would prefer to pay more for quality than to pay less for inferiority. But if you must pay less then I would go for the most popular sites for buying things such as ebay and set your price range accordingly. But no matter where you buy, it may not be possible to get quality for a cheap cost.

The cheaper plushies should be all right, they are of course not hand made, but I don't see any problem with them being made in china or whatever - the quality should be all right for the price anyway. Most plushies that you can find in stores are probably made in china, I mean, we all had a plush toy when we were kids, right? I had several atleast... Mostly because I carried it around all the time, and when my mother had to wash it, I was so devaststaed not to have one, she had to buy another one... Those were pretty cheap, and they had a decent quality.

Personally I don't have any merch whatsoever at the moment, but in a few weeks I'll have some... I'm going to order a plushie on ebay aswell, an Apple Jack for 21 pounds (that is WITH shipping, without shipping it was 15.50 pounds). It was so cute, and the seller had very good reviews on his plushies, they are machine made, and I presume that they are made in china or something like that aswell. 

The one I'm going to buy, looks like this

Wow, that is pretty darn cheap for a pony plushie, even with the shipping. I hope she turns out alright. :3 Also if it wouldn't be too much of a pain could you tell me the seller so I can look from there and see if they have any other ponies as well.

It is very difficult to find a decent one without spending $100 and up, but I'm stuck on a strict budget since I entered college. My cousin's all time favorite pony is Derpy and he has been saving up quarters and dimes to buy one, so I thought I would surprise him.

Thank you very much for the link, and she looks super adorable! I did try to find the buyer with that name and I couldn't at all. :c

How much are you looking to spend, Bronyette? Our own Mareinthemoon will make you a 9-inch plushie for $60; she'll probably be happy to take orders for larger sizes as well. The quality of her work is excellent, and she has many satisfied customers here.

[Bronyette 835]

@, 

 

I only have about forty or fifty dollars max to spend on a plushie as of right now. Mareinthemoon's plushes are simply adorable and I might save up for one of my character, but with my budget that probably won't be until after Christmas.   Thank you though.

Not at all! I already contacted the seller and he/she/they got one "reserved" for me, since I lost my bank card yesterday and I was unsure when the new card would come home, I was worried that it might take too long (just a precaution to mail the seller and get one "reserved" - they probably have more than enough to say that they will have one available next week, but I couldn't be sure)

 

They also have a Pinke Pie, and a Princess Twillight, Pinkie pie seems to be extremely popular (most likely been selling that for quite some time I guess, LOTS of people have bought it atleast) - but personally they look too "off" to me. A.J ain't my favorite, but this one was well made enough for me to not care, I love all ponies, so it's not a problem to me. So, they don't have a Derpy though, which I know you want to give to your friend. What I mean is, it might be of good enough quality even if it's made in china or whatever.

 

The more expensive plushies that are fan-made and all, I'm sure they ROCK a lot more than any china made, and if this one breaks, I'll definately consider getting a more expensive one (like, Mareinthemoon's plushes!)

 

Oh yeah, sorry for writing a lot. I need to make a signature for that, it's so repetative to always say "sorry for writing so much" since I do it all the time.. heh

Thank you very much~!  And no I don't mind all of the text, I love reading replies.   It really is a shame they don't have a Fluttershy one, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Heh, thanks. Lots of people on other forums tend to just "TL:DR" on many things I write, while a few people who I have came to know on Steam, sometimes even BEG for me to write something really huge... Heh.

 

Fluttershy could come out sometime, I guess, I could send the seller a message if you don't want to do it yourself, they answered within 10min when I sent my message this week, but that was in the middle of the day, so I guess it was during working hours and all... Uhm, The A.J stops selling in like, 2 weeks, pinkie in a few days, maybe they will sell Fluttershy after that, I don't know. They will probably keep selling Pinkie, since it's so popular, but well, yeah. A.J seems to be a new add-on to their selling list, so it's kind of likely that they would add the other ponies aswell, although, I would guess on that they rather do the earthponies/without wings, since it would be easier for them. (yes, I know, Twillight has wings! But still. Pinkie is slightly cheaper though, so that is probably because she has no wings, A.J has a hat, so I guess that contributes to that she doesn't have the same price as pinkie). I'm just swamling stuff that doesn't matter, haha, I like writing too much

Just browse on eBay, there's a couple sellers that have the same Derpy plush for sale.

 

 

My Derpy had free shipping and I paid $20 for her, as I got a partial refund of $4 because the seller sent me the wrong one, as I had originally ordered the Daring Do plush that the seller had. Somewhere in my  link to my review there's me mentioning how Derpy accidentally mailed herself to me, Ironic because she's a mailmare.

 

 

this guy here is a pretty well known seller. and Don't use buy it now...as you can usually get the same plush for cheaper during an auction....WHichis how I got my  my Derpy for $20/$24
