Largest Yard Sale & Collectibles (Belleville,IL)

Wow, I didn't know they were so known here. I've gotten some pretty good ones from them years ago. I remember once they had a G1 Sunlight that was in great condition except for her tail. It looks like it literally had been dipped in some kind of car oil or goo and I asked them to come down a bit they they didn't want to at all.

I remember it getting to the point where they didn't seem to have much new stuff so I no longer bothered.

But I don't remember them having blue marks. But yes, I agree they do overcharge on some of them. I can't believe I got MO Mommy Pony from them for just $30....I figured they'd probably try to get quadruple that  price. Seems odd they'd let one so expensive go for so cheap yet they overcharge for commons.

[whiskerz85]

Yup, same person. Those blue marks are slowly appearing on all the ponies cause even the G3s are getting blue marks on them. Must be the way they are being stored and there must be something in the bin with the ponies that is doing that. They didn't always have them.

Maybe they figured the Mommy Pony wouldn't sell to anyone other than a collector willing to spend the money so they made it pricier than their other ponies in hopes to at least get a decent profit (even if it's still a steal for any collector)!  Congrats on that find, by the way!

Yeah, maybe eventually they'll just mark them down to $1 a pony to move the product...but I guess if they don't have anything else to put in their place then might as well keep them for awhile and see if anyone ever decides to buy.  Guess we'll see!

Personally I think they'll probably just sit and rot in that bin forever I've rescued and sunfaded a few but it's soo much work. I buy them out of pity.

How far is it from bridgeview, il??

[whiskerz85]

Getting ready to head to the fairgrounds to start setting up. Hope to see some of you there. Wasn't able to get everything priced though. Major headache last night. Remember, you can always make me offers. I am totally not good at pricing stuff. 

How far is it from bridgeview, il??

I believe it is a little over 5 hours away.

[StarDragon]

So close, yet so far. Five hours away from Chicago. D: -sigh-

[ClosetAvalanche]

Bridgeview is ear Chicago, so no way I'll be able to get there

Oh my gosh!  I freakin thought TOMORROW was the 10th!!!  I'm such an idiot!  Well, I guess I'll be down tomorrow if possible.  I'm so ticked at myself  ...  I guess at least I don't have to pay the $5 admission, lol.  Sigh.   

[whiskerz85]

You're welcome! I'm glad they went to a good home.

It's okay. We all make mistakes.  Don't worry, I still have lots of ponies left who need good homes.

[STLGusty]

Lol, well what kills me is that I probably wrote it a billion times today... I think my brain was shut off   Hehe, ah well!

It's okay, I couldn't come either! Something came up, so I'm coming this morning instead. c:  Maybe we'll run into each other there! xD

Edit: I came, thanks so much for the ponies! I'm gonna clean them up and stuff once I get home~

[STLGusty]

OctoberFlash - glad you got some ponies!  We probably just missed each other.  Well, my husband and I stopped by around 8ish when it opened.  My ponies have officially welcomed them to the herd, lol.  Thanks, Whiskerz!

[OctoberFlash]

Aagh, probably! We got there around 8:30 to 9, somewhere in there.

Glad you got some ponies, too! ponies for everyone!
