I don't have a limit, but it depends on how much I want the pony and how much money I can spend on said pony.

Nope. I mean, I will have a cap on a particular pony. For example, I won't pay more than $50 incl. shipping for a German Baby Lemondrop, but the limit is higher for Baby Blubberchen or a TAF baby. It really comes down to how much money I have to spend :P

There have been a few ponies I've paid a pretty penny for, like Tux and Greek Peachy, that I really wanted but normally I won't go over $35 and at the moment there's no way I could justify spending over $100 for a pony no matter how rare they are. I even managed to get all six of my mountain boys for under $35 each. The key to it is patience as there is always another one just around the corner on evil-bay  ;)

It depends on how much I want the pony/how rare it is/how much money I have to spend right now.
At the moment I think I would only want to spend about $15-$20 on a single pony. If it was a pony that I really wanted I might consider paying more.

I'm sure I have a limit, but at the moment I don't know what it is. If there's a pony I really, really, really want, I won't let dollar value get in my way. I won't overpay, but if the market price is high, I won't try to scrounge up a deal at a flea market or what-not instead.

Normally I won't go over $35-40 for a single pony but I will make exceotion if it's a pony I really want or it's needed to complete a set. :)

Hmm... I'm pretty much where you are--not wanting to go over $30 (or at least not by much if I would). One day I'll cave and splurge to get a Mountain Boy. :P

Actually the limit is what I can afford and the moment AND the pony in question...

Even if I will spend thousands on a single piece of plastic, if I don't have the money, is a no go =P

On normal, I usualy do not buy ponies over $20.00 unless I have money and can buy more than a single pony =3, and on the flea market, I don't buy ponies over $3.00 (I'm cheap).

It depends on the pony in question.
I'm down to 28 ponies missing from my retail release G1 collection, so most of them are not going to be terribly cheap to acquire.  That said I've gotten some great deals here and there, most expensive purchase to date was Mimic, for 90$.  I'm not expecting any of the others I'm after to even come close to that price.
G1 Wishlist  It's the final countdown! Looking to purchase the last few G1's for my collection - Watercolor Baby Sea Ponies Foamy, Misty & Surfy - Red Roses - SHS Sweet Sundrop - Springy - Teeny Tiny Snookums (#2)

Usually I like  to keep it under 20 USD (including shipping). My G1 collection is pretty new, though, so I haven't really moved up to the tier of the more HTF ponies.

I've been known to drop a couple hundred on a pony that I really want....but I don't do that often :)

I really don't have a set limit...but I do try to keep it reasonable :)

My limit depends on how much money I can afford to spend at the time, and how rare the pony is. I don't have a massive collection of G1s, so I'm focusing on getting the less expensive ones for now. $35-$40 is the most I've spent, though I'm willing to shell out more to get Mimic and the Mountain Boys someday.

L-i-m-i-t ... ?  :what: whats that?  :lookround: :good:   :angel:

I'm not admitting the most I paid for a pony so far :P  really though - it depends on the pony, how rare it is, how much I want it, and (most importantly) if I haz the monies for it at the time (or if I can borrow the monies from hubby until later ;)   )

When I get a job, I'm going to try and save up for Rapunzel, the most expensive pony there is (about $600 right now).  Mind you, she's nowhere near as expensive as an original 1997 Princess Diana Beanie Baby (highest on eBay is $2 million, followed by $999,999).

Recently though, I spent $60 on G2 Silver Glow.  But with her wings and very few imperfections, it was well worth it. :)
