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:

[Cassiebsg]

Holly... great eye and find!

Congrats!

[Wandy]

Great job and

Wandy

[André]

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!!

[Cassiebsg]

André, look closely behind Papa...

[André]

Thanks, now I see her!

[Smurfysmurf]

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

I love hearing about finds like these

[Simon X]

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.

[PonySmurf]

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

[Tojo]

That is amazing Simon, very well done indeed

I can't see her on the picture either

[Lia]

Fantastic Simon!

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

Hi

Sometimes we collectors need a bit of luck ..............
ok this time great skills to

Tintin

Does the praying Smurfette always have the same markings?

[bwalters]

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.

[Smurfysmurf]

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

[bwalters]

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

[TimeZero]

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 ;-)

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

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

[SmurfsNZ]

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

Stefanie
