What's the best deal you've ever gotten?
« on: April 15, 2014, 11:19:40 PM »
I know we all love to get a bargain here! I just snagged a MIB Flitterheart off Ebay for $16 today. :D So what's the best bargain you've ever gotten on a pony?

I think $1.99 for Rainbow Power Rarity due to a pricing accident is pretty good, but then again I have pretty low expectations for things like that in my life XD

I did score MIB Diamond Rose recently for $7 the other day :)

Hmm well my favorite deal was my German Starshine. I got her in a lot pretty cheap, and she did need some work. She's beautiful now though. ^.^

I've gotten a few good ones over the years, I don't know which one I would say was the best.
  A SS Satin N' Lace for $1, a Mimic for $2ish($25 mlps for $40), Italy purple Butterscotch for...I want to say $30? it was a few years ago!  My weird Blue Belles are in a category all their own, with a couple of them being free, and bait priced ones sneaking past everyone...

I got Powder for 33 cents :) We were in a thrift store while waiting for our pizza next door, I dug around in the toy bin and found Powder. Hubby found a yo-yo and I found a Blue Jay stuffie (my dad likes the TO Blue Jays). For all 3 they only charged me $1.

Powder was officially the start of me collecting - I had all my childhood ponies, but she was the first that I had searched out and found at a store.

I suck at pony bargains :P Seriously all these years and I never seem to snag one :P The closest to a good deal perhaps was a lot of combs on ebay for £20ish but it had all the Tales combs as well as combs for the Family Friends, Hair Do and a few other late Euro releases. I was happy with the price just for those items but the lot turned out to have Baby Lollipops barrette in it as well :)

My best deal that I can recall was probably my Rapunzel for somewhere around $20?  Not sure exactly on the price, but it was CHEAP for her, because it was a huge lot.  Of course, I also ended up by that reasoning with a Peachy that cost around $20, but considering I snagged the whole lot for less than 'Punzie's usual going rate at the time, I consider it a good deal :)

I got one of the tropical G1 babies for $2 at the thrift store in a giant bag of toys. There were a few other ponies in there as well. I had no idea who she was when I bought her but I was so excited when I found out :)

I've gotten a few other good deals, but I can't think of them right now :)

:) I think probably the bag of G1s I found at Savers last year for, I think, $7. It included Satin n Lace, Truly, Tassels, Lavender Lace, Twisty Tail, Taffy and Cotton Candy. Yeah, I think that is easily the best pony "deal" I've gotten.

That and at the same store when I first started collecting I found a working Sweet Taking Pony for $2.

Hmmm... I picked up a box of like fifteen ponies in good condition for £9 at a carboot sale once, that was a pretty good deal :) I also recently bought Silver Spoon for £6 and Sunset Shimmer with the fiery legs for £3 :)
