USED Peter Stone Pebbles Model “Summer Solstice” 2005/2006 TEST(?) (Saddlebred)

Description

Hey there! Up for auction is a gorgeous Peter Stone Pebbles-sized model known as “Summer Solstice”. This particular model was produced on the “Saddlebred” mold in 2005 as a new addition to the E-Horse Series and limited to 75 pieces total. “Summer Solstice” has a MATTE finish.
Now interestingly, this model has been signed by Peter Stone on her underbelly in black ink but the text “Test” and “06” are also written on her underbelly. These notations do not fit the original release of “Summer Solstice” so I am unsure of the origins of this model. I carefully studied the Stone Reference website photos of “Summer Solstice” and although there are some subtle differences between the model offered in this auction and the one of the Stone Reference website, there were no major differences of note.
Overall, “Summer Solstice” appears to be in very good USED condition with only a few minor cosmetic blemishes to describe. All I really noticed were some minor ear tip/edge, nostril/muzzle, mane tip/edge, tail tip/edge, and hoof tip/edge rubs (
a couple through the paint along the edges of her hooves and at the tips of her ears
) as well as some tiny black and white marks/“specs” on various places of the model’s body but they are not particularly obvious.
I did notice what appears to be some faint orange-colored staining on her left rear leg.
There are also some areas on the model’s body where tiny amounts of lint (or like material) got trapped under the matte finish creating a “rough” texture in those areas.
Some dust has managed to settle into the small crevices on the model’s body but it is not a significant amount. I realize I may have made this model sound way worse than she actually looks in person but I want to make sure you know what you are getting. Regardless of the above-mentioned flaws she is still a unique model that would add character to any collection! I have tried very hard to describe this model to the best of my ability but I apologize in advance if I missed any other small flaws. (I definitely described the most notable ones.) Please see all of the pictures provided for this auction to discern the overall condition of the model.
SELLER'S NOTE: This model is considered to be Pebbles-sized and is significantly smaller than traditional-sized models. This model is approximately 5.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches long.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
:
Unfortunately more and more bidders are deciding NOT to pay for an item once they bid on and win it. I have a zero tolerance for this kind of eBay activity and it will result in a non-paying bidder case being opened with eBay. I have many bidders on my auctions and it’s not fair to those who are honest when someone decides to bid with no intention to pay. Due to this rapidly growing problem I have made some changes to my auctions as a whole. Payment is now due within 3 days of an auction ending rather than 7 days. This way I can open a case if I have to and close it within a single week-allowing other bidders a quicker option for a second-chance offer. I also expect ANYONE with less than 10 POSITIVE feedback to contact me before bidding on any of my items. The problem with non-paying bidders seems to be mostly among people with less than 10 feedback. If this procedure is not followed I will cancel your bid. I have tried really hard to give my bidders the benefit of the doubt but I am repeatedly being burned. I hope all of the honest bidders out there can understand and please realize that these changes aren’t caused by you. Thanks to all of you eBay bidders who pay quickly, communicate, and make buying & selling a pleasure on eBay. You are more appreciated than you know…
