Lars PM'ed me out of the blue one day at the Arena to see if I restored ponies because he had some he wanted done. He told me to email him for details, so out of curiosity I did, but never heard back from him.
Columbian ponies typically have not had shiny symbols. However, touched up and sealed symbols CAN BE shiny. Based on what he's lied about before, I'd be willing to bet this pony has been restored, and the hair left messy to make it look unrestored, but I can't prove it, and for $1350 reserve I can't prove it. I know he's claimed to have found 2 of these boys, and the other looked considerably worse, but I don't know who bought it or where it ended up.
And, has anyone PM'ed lars about restoring this pony? He's complaining at the Arena that he's been directly accused of restoring this one.
You are correct: I do not think I am fooling anyone....
I do not.. I am incapable of restoring a pony.
You obviously are not a true experienced collector to not know the difference. In the least you should request pictures more detailed before you make judgements....
WOW! What NERVE he has! Claiming YOU aren't an expeienced collector? Like he has ANY experience collecting? All he knows how to do is overcharge for baity ponies. Really nice, lars, really nice. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is turned off by your bullcrap. Besides, you've already proved thet you're perfectly capable of asking people to restore ponies. I DO still have that PM you sent me.
Lyricalstar, what was your question to him, that he turned nasty like that?
And to clarify, by "community," I just meant collectors in general, not any specific board.
EDIT: How funny, I just found a thread at the Arena wherein a well-known customizer was looking for hair matches for this pony using one of the very pictures in this thread...
My Little Pony Arena » Forums » Creativity » Customs » Hair colors please
The fact that no one could agree on a haircolor match could explain the discrepancies between the baity one and the nice one...
EDIT 2: God this is getting weirder and weirder. Bolding is mine, all are quotes from larry.
Larry claims never to have restored a pony
BUT:
Please know I have never ever altered..or restored any feature on any pony... I have some origional supplies.
I have offered a 3rd pony free; the star baby (along with replacement hair for the cut main)...
Would you be willing to re-root if I provided the hair? Is it possible to purchase origional replacement MLP hair... factory origional? Where can I purchase and how much would it cost for the hair and the work?
Mmmm let me think... devalue a pony that I can purchase on ebay auction for $10??
Not much to de-value here....
For the sake of argument; where can one purchase factory origional MLP hair?
Thanks,
Lars
AWFUL lot of interest there for restoring a pony. TO SELL FOR MORE MONEY I might add.
