Hello,
I've got a little ebay story for you.

A few days ago I have seen this ebay auction.

I had detected a special figure in that lot...Do you find it in that ebay auction?




Okay, here is the solution:

Holly... great eye and find!

Congrats!

Great job and

Wandy

Great Simon!!

I can not find it on the picture. Where is it?

Is it a hole for the cord on the figurine?

You have a great eye Simon!!

André, look closely behind Papa...

Thanks, now I see her!

Wow...glad you still have that good eye for deals, Simon:)

I love hearing about finds like these

Yep, she is behind the conductor.

Is it a hole for the cord on the figurine?

No, there is no hole. I read that's a rarer version? That's not so bad I think

Now I'm only missing three other christmas smurfs...I don't like them so much. Too many fakes, missing cords etc. So I am happy to have found one this way.

Man, you have a great eye! No matter how long I stare at it, I still don't see her in there! Good on ya Simon

That is amazing Simon, very well done indeed

I can't see her on the picture either

Fantastic Simon!

I remember how you have a talent for finding rare smurfs for a bargain!

Hi

Very nice find, and a great eye
Sometimes we collectors need a bit of luck ..............
ok this time great skills to

Does the praying Smurfette always have the same markings?

I give up. I don't see any Smurfs in that pic. I thought I saw the Skating Smurfette, but don't see it in the other pic.

Go to the auction link...there are more pictures on there and if you look careful enough you see the praying smurfette hidden in there...it takes a Simon to find her in there if you don't know she is in there

That helped quite a bit, but I still would not have seen it without knowing where it was.

Great surprising find.

This is how I found my handy/mechanic Smurf with purple overall, back then in 2008.

(This one : http://www.christysbluevillage.com/coll ... t&group=56 second last row, middle figurine)

It was on an online second-hand shop, from someone who sold a bunch of common Smurfs. The whole lot costed me around 20 euros, I got around 30 Smurfs and the Smurf farm building.

The picture that was uploaded, was small and nothing detailed, but I could see him standing in the group of Smurfs. So I bought.
All the rest was sold on eBay again for around 2€ each, so I even got profit more :-)

And the purple overall mechanic, he stands in my collection. So if someone has the one in an orange or blue overall for sale, I am interested ;-)

Awwwww very well spotted, Simon!!! I'm damn happy for you.

Wow you have good eyes. I've stared and stared and my mind thought I saw a Gargamel and a smurf, but this one was wearing the usual white hat. I honestly can't see it

Hello,

congratulation , what a great deal.

It is so amazing to find such a surprise .

Years ago a bought in the USA a lot of christmas things because I saw a little green wrest on the picture (sorry, the prictur is very bad) and I waited some long, long weeks and one day the parcel from USA arrived...... and yeah , between some ugly x-mas things there was the christmals smurf with the wrest..... I think a paid 25 USD or so..... what a price for the smurf and amazing time to wait.

I wish you a lot of fun with your smurfette
