Extreme Collectors ~ featuring a MLP collector

[Twinkler00]

(This was cross posted to the thread on the TP)

Okay, you guys are the best!

To  answer a few questions:

My friend applied for a different show on tattoos and saw they were casting for "extreme collectors" I submitted photos of my pony room to a producer

For the next few weeks (even though they weren't looking for more collectors) her and I exchanged information. She wanted to photos of individual stuff, prices, etc etc

I was a little hesitant about the whole price thing because, well, I didn't want everyone to assume EVERY pony is worth money.....but most people already do that. LOL
So I went for it.

After the producer came to see my show, she let me know I had been approved and well, the rest was history!!

The host, Andrew and I really get along
He told me he thought they were nuts when they suggest my little ponies. He said "but I am a serious antique dealer!"
But the more he (and apparently they had a team of 4-5 researchers as well) looked into it the more they couldn't believe it! Hahahaha.

I had no idea he went in with a pen and paper and added it all up for the camera. I am assuming they had a number ready and knew certain things prices they could have him write down.


I was sad that I had to remove a couch and a table (the table holds my paradise estate) out of the room to fit the equipment (they had a team of 4-5 people plus andrew) and they also didn't appraise what wasn't shown (which is like, nearly every G3 MIB. Hahahaha. I went a little nuts with those and then packed them away) as well as all the goodies I didn't dig out of my closet like the bag/knapsack collection/pillow buddies

Overall the experience has been my best yet.
This was my 4th time being on television with my collection since I began collecting
And hopefully in the next few months, the documentary that I was in will be released as well

Thank you all for your wonderful nice comments and support! It means a lot to me!! <3

Just watched the video, so cool! I did yell 'OH MY GOD LOOK AT HER MIMIC' at the laptop when they showed her, lol!

Really impressed with the segment, it was nice that the show just showed the collection for what it was. I approve!

I had to watch it again. I think that it was so neat that they buy seemed excited about it all also.
