How about $150?

OK, I've tried selling this twice already. Not being an expert on Diamond ponies, I had no idea why it wasn't selling. I had it along with me at Springfield, so I brought it in to show someone who IS an expert on 102s. We set it in his backlit display and he confirmed that it's in the mustard family. Not being an expert, I really only had had the price guide for reference and it shows a $400-500 price range for Chartreuse, Mustard Yellow and Olive Mustard Yellow. What I learned from the 102 expert is that the light end of the spectrum - Chartreuse to yellowy mustard - sell closer to that range than the darker and olive-ish mustards. Since this is in the latter category, he thought the value of this one was more realistically $200 at the top end.

I'd like to move this piece, so I'm going to try it again at $175, shipping included to the lower 48. Any form of payment is fine.

Here is part of the previous description:

What happened to this guy in the factory? It looks like he was playing Rockem Sockem Robots. It probably makes this piece one-of-a-kind, so if you're looking for unique character in a harder-to-find piece, this is it! Also adding to its character are some nice straw lines and a fold line right through the diamond. The only post-factory issues are a very small, very shallow base flake (half the size of a child's pinky nail) and a little wire rubbing on the wire ridge and left side skirt.
