I just acquired over 2,000 G1 ponies....no kidding!

I remember the merry-go-round I think. Prob get half your money back selling that alone. Sorry to hear about the death of such a pony lover.

[DevlishSmooch]

So sorry to hear about your friend.  If you're anywhere near me, I'd love to come help you!  I can't imagine having such a task... if anything like that happened to me I'd probably just keep them all (hoarder! lol).  Take it a little at a time; that's the only way you won't be overwhelmed.

I'll take any/all Bubbles off your hands!  And f there's a white MO Scribbles or MO Birthday babies, gimme a yell!  Best of luck with your sales!
 
Edit to add:  I'd LOVE to see pics of the merry-go-round and the pony pals!  <3<3<3

I sold over 2000 ponies and stuff myself, and it was mostly on Ebay and the forums here. It takes a lot of time to get them all catalogued and photographed, but it's worth it in the end.

Best of luck!  Gosh, I wish you were close to me!

I would love to take some of them off your hands i have a large gen 1 list posted here.

I'm sorry for your loss, but congratulations on your new problem?  Good luck--if I were you, I'd sell them off bit by bit, and/or maybe ask some pony collectors in the community you trust to help you with it.  Hope it all goes well!

[Clipper]

sorry for loss.

you did a good thing by inheriting the "large collection". If you have anything on my want list (like Rapunzel) or anything extra in there, that you want to maybe part with let me know. I maybe able to help you out.

[lunar_scythe]

if you are close/can afford to go, selling them in person at the fair is always an option.

[Tiella]

You could make lots of common ponies to sell and then sell the harder to find stuff individually.

[Radiance]

I'm sorry for your loss. It can be emotional and overwhelming to go through all the stuff, too. Maybe you can recruit some nearby pony collectors to help you sort everything out. You could probably pay them in ponies. Just tackle one chunk at a time and plow through til you're done! Good luck & I'll be watching for your sales

[TimeDance]

Very sorry to hear about your friend.

I do think a pony yard sale for more common items would be a great idea. Less trips to the post office. It would definitely take the collection down to a more manageable amount in a hurry.

Maybe if you post your city and state you can find a local pony helper or two from the Arena. I'm sure there's many who just enjoy organizing ponies. Good luck with everything!

[Eternia]

oh my celestia, please post pics!

[Eluluu]

RIP to Helen Kiker. Sounds like an amazing collection she amassed! I would also love to see photos......wow, 2,000 G1 ponies! :O Incredible! I am very curious as to what exactly she has.

[Dyzarktarzk]

First:  I'm so sorry for her passing away.

But...  I can't even process that!!

I'm sure I'll die if you post pictures of it all!!

[scarletjul]
