So I asked a friend who was going to be at the MLP Fair this past weekend to grab me one of the Fair exclusives so here’s hoping she comes through. But I went to look on eBay just to see what the current market price was and, to my shock, nada, nothing!
Surely there is at least one opportunistic convention goer with one that is interested is letting unsuspecting people on eBay pay out the nose for one.
You people disappoint me. I would have bought whatever the limit was and then bought that same number again under my husband’s name and been wildly selling and trading those puppies like a madwoman right now.
So did you get one this weekend? Is she as pretty as she looks in the photo? Why aren’t you trying to sell her to me on eBay right now, hmmm? Do tell!
Have you seen me?

If you sell on eBay, you may find yourself needing to look this info up frequently or perhaps you are a new seller and just didn’t know where to find this info.
Let us save you the trouble of looking this up.
My Little Pony (#47227)
Pre-1990 (#375)
1990-Now (#47228)
Now the main category, #47227 is helpful to know but you cannot list any item directly in that category. The eBay listing tool forces you to select a secondary category which would be one of the two others.
Unfortunately, eBay’s definition of vintage means that an item must be at least 20 years old which is why their older pony category falls in the middle of a pony generation. Most eBay users ignore the 1990 cut-off date and use #375 for all First Generation ponies (which are ponies released before 1997) and #47228 for all ponies released after 1997 (which includes the Second and Third Generations).
When listing your MLP item, instead of browsing for the category, you can save time by simply copy and pasting the category number you need from above.
