What's the most you'll pay for a pony?

[Twizel]

Hiya! I don't know how set up polls on the new Arena, so I'll just ask -

Do you guys have a max spending limit for the price of 1 pony?

For example, one day I'll spend more because I'll have more money =p but for now I'm trying to buy ponies that are under $30 per.
Does anyone else limit that way and OMG is it as hard for you as it is for me?

Usually, I'm hard pressed to spend more than $20 for a pony - and I have to really want the pony to spend $20. 

Once though, I did spend $50 on a Mountain Boy - but I ended up selling him.

No I dont have a spending limit, but that does not mean that ill pay too much for a pony that is not worth it

[DaffyDilly]

No, not really.


The most I've ever spent on a Hasbro original is $49.99 (plus $13 P&P!) for a Nirvana that isn't even for me - it's for a swap! For me, I've spent $40 on Ice Crystal or $140 for a custom.


Generally I have a value in mind for a pony and I won't go above - for example I had plenty of opportunities to buy Ice Crystal but I always felt he was too expensive until this one came along.


I'm also limited by my budget, and I'm the sort of person that can't just buy one pony, so I rarely have lots of $$$ to throw at one pony. I am now at the point where the ponies I want to complete my collection are expensive though.


All this said, at this point in my life I could not justify a pony like Rapunzel with a $300-500 price tag. And I think that is what it comes down to. What I spend on ponies I cannot spend on other things so it's a case of prioritising and at the moment, I have student debts and other things that have to be paid first.

on a regular g1, i wouldnt spend more than $12

although a rare pony, or a custom, or any sort of exclusive is a whole different story.

I don't have a limit

[Whoa1234]

Most I've spent  on a single pony is $30 ish. I got a lovely uk princess  sparkle for 32.70 with shipping from a member here. Soo minty too. <3

The most i send was 10$ for baby billie, and the most I have been willing to pay was 40-50   for Bright Eyes. Wich I didn t have to (I paid 5$ for mine).
But I dont think I would pay that much for any other pony, right now :p

[Shrojjy]

Nothing more than $15. Unless it's something seriously special (Custom/Rare/Rare Nirvana) 1 pony isn't worth it!

[Chi]

I.. Don't really have a limit at the moment, but only if I can do payments.
I can't afford to throw $500 at a pony but I can do so in a few payments of $70+.
If I want it, I'll try my best to afford it!

[Elfpony]

Depends very much on the pony and the circumstances.  I'll pay the going rate for a pony if I want her, and if I can afford her.  The afford part is the main thing - I'll never go into debt for my hobby.  I also do most of my Pony shopping for the year (aside from G4s of course) at the Fair every year, so I have a specific goal (shopping time) that I'm saving up for.  Or I'll save up for a specific pony and won't start shopping for that pony until I have the money ready.

I also think it depends on the pony though the most I have spent on one pony is 45 dollars. I think she was worth it to me though or else I wouldn't of got her.

[Ginger]

If it were a pony I really loved, I can see myself dropping no more than $150 max and it wouldn't happen often. Maybe in the future if things are bright I can splurge way more often, but in my current position in life I cannot justify that much for a single pony.

Most I spent so far was $25 so... it'd really have to be one I loved. Like an argie winger. >_>

[Sandi]

Right now it's about $10 because I don't have much money.

The most expensive pony I bought was Mimic that costed $75 though.

[tikibirds]

I would go up to $150 for some of the more HTF Nirvana ponies. I like the bright colored Argentina ones best.
Normally though, I usually stay under $30.
