Ponies left behind in charity shops

[partypony566]

So I hate to admit that I left a Scootaloo behind whilst out thrifting with my mum the other day. Even my mum was shocked that I left her behind ( mum is VERY well trained to look for ponies now ) but..... It was just common old Scootaloo with matted hair for £2

So.... Do any of you leave ponies behind, or do you rescue EVERY pony you find?

If the pony is reasonably priced I take them home with me, even if they are bait as I do customs. I do feel a bit of regret if I leave a pony behind, for example I once left a princess pony behind because she was a bit pricey and she's still nagging at me in my mind.

It depends on the pony. I've never left a G1 behind, I just can't! G2s, depends if they are HTF or if they have their eye crystals. G3s that are expensive/manky/common are left behind. I left a Sparkleworks behind once and realised when I got home she was in the only pose I didn't have, thankfully I found her again a few weeks later. G4s, only found one at a bootsale, gave her a miss the first week then caved in and bought her when she was there the second week!

I would have done the same I am afraid...

If its a G1...I ll rescue it even if she is missing her tail and a leg! I cant leave a fellow 80s gal behind. Any other common gen pony in a ratty condition I would probably leave. Mind you if it was in a charity shop...I may have been guilted by my mum into buying the pony anyway! If it was on a market or elsewhere, no way are they getting £2 for a ratty Scootaloo.

I have left behind a Boysenberry Pie once. She was covered in black permanent marker and priced at 10 euros. I just couldn't spend that much on one common poor pony.

I do, if I do not want the pony. I've seen ponies, and then have seen brags about other arena members finding them and being so happy about it. :3

I cant leave a fellow 80s gal behind.

Such a lovely way to put it!

I mostly find G3s I already have, so I rather think of it as leaving 'em behind for a little girl instead. I've only left behind one G1 (as I don't have many) because it had sharpie scribbles all over that I could tell were sinking into the platic. Poor pony

[starrypawz]

I've taken to leaving ponies behind, more if they're G3's or just in such a state I don't see myself as being able to restore. I tend to snatch up G1's though.

I found a Sweet Berry plush I left behind once, I already had one but it is stained so thought I should have upgraded and went back the next day it was gone.. The only other ponies i ever find are mcd's which i don't care for.

I used to rescue every single pony.
Then I only rescued G1s or G3s I liked/needed.
Last time I was at the thrift store, I left behind a baity G1 and a slew of G3s because I already have the G1 and multiples of the G3s.
I almost always leave behind McDonald's ponies.

Sometimes it depends on my mood, though.

I stick with either what I need for my own collection or ponies I know I could resell easily. If it's a common G3, I probably will end up donating it back in the end because I wouldn't be able to sell. Sometimes it depends on my mood.

I leave behind fakies, left behind a couple of McDonald's Pinkie Pies and one time I left behind a ratty looking Scootaloo who had some kind of athletic shoes painted on her. It was weird looking.

I leave behind fakies, unless they're REALLY cute and in good condition.  (There were a DOZEN fakies on the last run I did!)   I also usually leave behind McDonalds ponies too.  Everypony else!  Get in the cart!!!
