How do you get a Mimic exactly?

[ClosetAvalanche]

I got mine for a $7 bin on ebay about 2 years ago.

[Princess Lala]

Ive been looking in auction lots for her, seeing if anyone doesnt realize what they are selling! She is probably my G1 grail. I love TE  ponies soooo much and I have got to collect all of them someday!

[reanna-mator]

I just paid the usual price for her a few years ago, around $80. She was a birthday present to me, from myself! I am envious of those who managed to get her for cheap.

Other then the fact that she's a sort of Collector's Status symbol and starred in an episode, I really don't get the  crazy triple dollar price tag and high demand. Like Rapunzel, I personally don't like the way she looks. But to each their own and she is certainly exotic, I might be more interested if she was a vibrant green and not that pale green tinted white.

Fleamarket.  I paid $1 or maybe $2 for her I think...   

The thing is, that Mimic is not RARE she is just POPULAR.  SO the chances of finding her in the wild are just as good as any other twinkle eye pony (which is to say not super common, but not impossible)

I would love a Mimic, but not for $$$

I'll wait and hope I find one in the wild

I bought one for not much that had a slight haircut in the mane, then PKW kindly repaired the cut bits for me with genuine pony hair, so she's as good as new! Obviously if I was going to resell her I would say about the rehair so she wouldn't be worth the big bucks, but that wouldn't bother me, and I won't ever sell my ponies anyway!!! I don't have the money to buy perfect condition ponies, so I don't mind getting the cheaper ones that need a bit fixing up!! Especially as there's lovely people (PKW  ) who are so talented at doing all those repairs!!

I got my Mimic on a BIN out of British Columbia, Canada at about 2am for $9.99 she had a little mousie nibble to her horn and hoof, hence the low price from the seller. Once she arrived I carefully filed her horn and the hoof to smooth them a little. She was perfect otherwise and even still had her pink streak and the shine on her eyes. She now lives with my best pony friend here on the Arena and I know she's appreciated the way she should be

Follow a search on eBay involving Mimic
Except I don't do auctions/ bids. I'm a BIN person 
That's all I've been getting lately was dumb auctions ever since I've started following the search, either that or obnoxiously priced BINs 6_9
Until 1 night at 2:19 am (CST) ,I was awake when I got an email from eBay stating a Mimic has popped up for $119 BIN...my jaw dropped because that was in my price range, but the problem was I had already spent my money on other things I was ticked off  I couldn't ask my boyfriend because he was sleeping ,so I turned to ANOTHER person who was awake during the same time I was....my German penpal  I explained to him that this was one of my grail ponies and how annoyed I was that I couldn't get her MYSELF, so I asked him to buy her for me and he did  (heck he saved up enough money to come visit me, so why not? )

And now I have her I still find pretty cool that my friend is willing to spend that much money on me  and for a pony for that facg X_X

Aw, that's pretty cool!

My mom bought me my Mimic off eBay in 2003/2004. I wish she was in better condition, but at the time I screamed from excitement because Mimic was a super grail of mine back then. She's still a proud piece in my collection. As a collector of many things, I can tell you that good things do come to those who wait. I collect Ball-Jointed dolls and it took 2 years for someone to list the doll I was after, and I finally got her. Just check back often and never give up! I know auctions are tricky though, especially for a popular items, I can't help much with that because I rarely bid - i always look for 2nd hand sales from collectors in need of quick cash who will sell off a valued pony/item.

You say you filed yours down? Did you use a certain grit of sandpaper or what because mine is the same way but I've been too nervous to mess with her.

A flea market back in 1995 for $1.

Only one I've ever found too.

[DashyMomma]

I found her at a flea-market!  She was a whopping $2

Holy Cow!!! That's one heck of a find! Pics? 

[lovesbabysquirmy]

If I keep hunting for her, I will most certainly find her!  So the hunt continues...

I actually used a nail buffer with varying degrees of grit...it was pretty fun polishing a unicorn's horn!! I found sanding it from below to the point was the best way and didn't use the really coarse side, just the 2 fine sides and the buffer....and a LOT of patience!
