Nirvana indecision :)

[Ember1]

Do any of you out there find yourself vacillating between selling nirvanas sometimes?
If so why do you think? I think its partly because I am a very fickle collector.





*hugs*

[LadyGuinevere]

Oh yes, definitely! What I tend to do  is put ponies on a sort of probation for a while, usually a number of months. If I can't justify keeping them, off they go! Sometimes they manage to hang on though. I don't think I'm a fickle collector, but tastes do change.

[Marian]

Me too, I have some argies that sometimes I just don't justify to keep, then I try to trade them or sell on last instance

[Shlugh]

I am fickle too.

I have coveted certain ponies, then when I got them they were a bit "blah". I've had quite a few French, Greek, rare Italians and others through my hands, and like Lady G says, they got a kind of probation, then sold on.

All of my Minties have stayed though!

I don't get this all too often, but I know what you mean.   My Macau Jenny was on 'probation' for quite a while, and I've almost put her up for sale many times, but somehow ended up holding onto her each time. I think it's fairly safe to say she's not going anywhere now

I had a Macau Minty that I sold, along with a German Princess Primrose and Italian Sparkler that I didn't love as much as I thought I would, but overall most of my Nirvanas are here to stay

I have been there too, sometimes the pony didn't feel the same when I got her as I anticipated.  Then sometimes my interest in a certain group wanes while another surges.  I also look at how difficult it would be to replace that pony if I sold her then wanted her later. 

[Skeen]

Not really.  I only buy what strikes my fancy so I rarely get something I don't already love.
 
I could live without most of my Argies though.  I probably like them the least.

Its strange I mean,I am not fickle when it comes to certain ponies but I think I put ponies into two groups... ones that aren't going anywhere.. and those I can if the right offer came along part with. I still have the greek baby glory MIP i found when i was just 14 and hope never to part with her. But I have sold others that I found at that same time so i guess its just about sentimentality and how much you love the pony. So nice to know I am not alone in this.

[TickledPink]

I am not fickle. I'm a hoarder! once they come to my house THEY NEVER LEAVE! Buahahahaah!

well..except baits...lol

[Novavelle]

I find myself dying to have a pony, then get it and I don't care for it as much as I thought I would... so I turn around and sell it, but I also make groups like, if I had to sell this, could I live without it? and those often get sold down the road... but I've kept most of my nirvanas

[Ember1]

hahaahah immortalpanda you make me laugh! I use to be like that too.

I had over 150 nirvanas at one point and was like.. WOAH>>>> I completely downsized and am still trying to cut back. I think
i have around 30 in my collection now..

[TickledPink]

I can't help it. Everytime i think about selling them I get all misty eyed and they look at me all sad...and I can't do it. Hahaha.

[pinkkittywinks]

it all depends.

some ponies are there to stay some ponies only have a short stay in my herd. i guess it all depends on the pony! some ponies i have ended up with by acciendt too! ones that came as extras in a lot which i have falled in love with (swirly whirly for example!)

like ladyg, if i am unsure of a pony i put it in a cupbaord for a bit and after a month or two when i get it out again if i have missed her i know she will stay, if not she goes for trade or sale

love pkw xxx

[ponindepedenza!]

I'm not fickle, even with regular ponies...
If I don't have duplicates, I keep, even if I don't like the pony much... like sisters or ballerina ponies. in fact once I had to part with some of my regular ponies before I start to collect nirvanas and as I really suffered letting them go, I know i'll try to sell everything before my nirvanas. I'd have to be in a huge need of money to think about selling a nirvana, even one I don't like... 
I have more than 200 nirvanas and I can't imagine downsizing... 

[LadyGuinevere]

I've downsized a lot of my collection, including a fair number of Nirvanas. Problem now is that I'm at a stage where I can't downsize much further! Maybe I'll have to one day, but for now most of them can stay
