For me it's also giving away my childhood collection.  I do still have a few bits and pieces left, but the Ponies are gone.

I didn't sell them, but I gave them to my cousin.
ALL my Brushie G3's.

Nachtlicht ... I needed the money, and I wasn´t very fond of her, but now I am sure I will never be able to afford her again.
Same is true for Icy .... Needed the money .....  :sad:

It is posts like this that make you realise you definitely shouldn't get rid of your ponies! I desperately regret selling my snowflake although she was in poor condition on ebay.... I cried about it. I think I'm ok about it now, I just wish I knew she wasn't being used as a bait or something awful, I just hope she's ok ! x

Ahhh....for me not a pony but an accessory [surprise surprise]....back when I started collecting I decided "I didnt want to bother with accessories" so I sold the sweetie clips for Lollipop and Licorice to an Arena member - I sold then for a mere $15each....

Fast forward 6 years and I had to drop nearly 10 times that amount to get them back!!!!! Silly, silly, kitty cat....
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

ohhh gahh!! my heart sank for that one!!!  :cry:


and for everyone who is mourning the loss of childhood ponies.... ugh...  :cloud:


here are my 2 biggest regrets... i traded them both for my argie sweettooth (shes the pony in my avatar)
I was thinkin, i can totally get the christmas one again, and flutterbye i will have to upgrade anyways...
well so far over a year later, it hasnt happened. the worst is i think value-wise i got the short end of the stick :/


my advice to all:
always do a PC before you trade!

My parents threw out all my childhood G2s when I was about 11, as I'd reached the stage where I thought I was too old for ponies.  D:
I've kicked myself many a time over this, I miss them so much. :( I would buy replacements, but it just wouldn't be the same. I particularly miss Princess Crystal & Princess Twinklestar. Plus I had a bunch of awesome playsets, they would have been perfect for displaying my G1 collection now.  :<
If only I had a time machine.

Not a MLP regret but I did throw out - yes, threw out - a HUGE bucket of the classic Littlest Pet Shops back when I was in high school. I used to collect them and then grew out of them. This was before the 'new' style with the giant bobble heads came out--and before I knew you could sell old 80's toys online to other collectors!
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

Some of these stories are making me well up!

I was lucky enough to keep all my small childhood ponies - I almost sold my Bubbles by mistake (my 3rd ever pony!) but fortunately noticed just before I handed her over and sold Dusky a spare instead (not that they wouldn't have happily returned her).

My biggest pony regret is that was getting desperate to pay my rent and I had to sell my MOC Baby Candy I had from new about 10 years ago...I loved that baby so much, and have never been able to win one loose, and never seen another MOC.

To cap it all I then got an email going "do you have another?  I'd happily have bid twice what she sold for!".

<sniffle>

Ah well, at I learnt my lesson and got out and took a job, any job, rather than sell my sweet Baby Sapphire et al, although I had decarded her by then.  That is my other regret - I put her accessories in a safe place and now I have lost her necklace.  derp. Such are the hazards of moving house every year.

My story won`t make anyone cry. I just had a Doh moment. So in 2008 I went down to my local thrift shop and found two baby ponies marked takara! I knew nothing about them and of course asked all the pony people online if they were real or fakies. I told them the vinyl was really thick and the paint was perfect on both ponies, and despite that they told me that there were no real takara ponies and they were worth 15-20 bucks. A girl really wanted them and so I sold them both for thirty. At the time i made a profit but I still to this day swear they were the real deal. Here is a picture of them I posted for my BFF`S birthday just before selling:

Moc 4-Speed.
You won't believe it - but I owned him 2 times and I sold him 2 times.
 
I'm so stupid!!!
 
Fisrt time I parted with him when we had a lot of other things to pay...
From that moment on he was one of my grails...
 
Then I bought him with luck again - but I sold him again when I was really need in cash - you all know this situation when you need a quick sale to get a bundle of money soon...
 
 
I feel so bad!
And believe me - should I ever get him again  - I WOULD NEVER SALE HIM AGAIN!!
