I know I can't post a link to the auction (live) and I tried getting a pic to no avail. But he's hot pink with trees on him- Like a daddy apple delight variant? I would really like to know if this guy is for real and how much he's worth? Please give me all the info you have! =) thanks

hey!
yup hes for real. theres a guy over at the arena, larry "lars110458", who has been finding a bunch of columbians the last few months. his girlfriend gloria is from there.
theyre responsible for all the new columbians that have been popping up lately :)
i met him and gloria at the LV fair
they had a few there to sell, pretty cool stuff ;)
that guy is making a killing selling these ponies!
and we are lucky he has worked so hard to find such rare treasures and share them with us :)
as for value... i think i remember hearing something like $600+ for others that he has sold and im sure this boy wont be any different :)

The Colimbian ponies have been the most awesome discoveries :clap: My fav so far has been yellow Applejack - so minty compared to most of them too!

I think some that have been sold privately have topped the $1000 mark from what I've read :D Anybody with one in their collection now has something very special and the rest of us are lucky to see all the pix lol.
 
Oh yes i ve seen that boy. I remember when he showed that on the arena. If you plan to bid! Goodluck :p
 
"Sunburnt" haha. $600+ guess I'll have to let him go =( WISH I had the $ tho lol. Thanks guys. Wow what an awesome find. Are there pics somewhere of the Columbian ponies?
 
It's real. However, the seller has just been caught in a scam of sorts:

He sold the pony to a community member at the Arena, then sold it AGAIN to another member for more money. He sent the 1st member other ponies to make up for it and told him that his girlfriend left him and had taken the pony, so he couldn't send that one.

Later, the member who actually got the pony made a brag thread (who wouldn't!) and the original buyer saw it. Lars immediately admitted he intentionally lied about it and sent a $100 refund AFTER the member bought more ponies from him. Lars doesn't act remorseful at all about it, so I'd be really REALLY cautious dealing with him. He's not a collector, he's only in it for the money.

Here's the Arena thread:
 
wow, thanks skeen. Guess I won't bother going over how I could possibly make it work and afford him! =) I think I'll watch the auction and see what happens. Thanks again for the heads up! Is his seller ID on ebay Scarret2006?

I'm not certain. He might be lars110458, but he could very well be scarret2006.
 
Ah I saw this over on the Arena, but got confused as to what happened. Thanks Skeen you've made it a lot clearer.

I can't believe some people, is Lars a member anywhere?

It's awful to scam people like that, especially when they've obviously spent a lot of money.

Same person, and he's never made a secret of that.
the Reserve is set at $1350 on the auction, I asked
and I am afraid he has tarnished his reputation with the sosilver transaction very badly
 
O_O Wow Skeen. Thanks for the heads up. I only post here on the TP, so I wouldn't have known this otherwise (not that I have the $ anyways, lol). That's just a huge mess....

Oh good, I didn't want to be passing on incorrect info, but I'd never seen his ebay ID. Thanks!

Fortunately he only joined here recently, so none of our members have had problems with him.. and now they can know to be cautious, at the very least.

The situation overall is sad though.. I could say that I guess things look differently to non-collectors, but that's still pretty shady at the least, if we can't call it outright scamming. :( Surely not something to inspire confidence in future buyers--more likely to chase them away!
 
wow... I read that whole thread at the arena. that's truly horrible, and there's nothing that can be done to fix it. poor sosilver was dreaming about that pony...
 
It is quite the discovery, all these Columbians. Its very exciting for Variant collectors :D I'm suprised there hasn't been more discussion in the Social Group about them. I imagine this guy is making a small fortune off these finds.

Thanks for the heads up about that Skeen.
 
Wow... I read that thread, I think that the girl who said that people are turning a blind eye because he has provided the community with rare columbian ponies is right. What he did to that poor collector is truly unforgiveable... a million apologies would not make up for that.

I wouldn't buy anything from him. Regardless of how rare they are.
