I got a grail for Christmas!!

[Icicle]

Thank you everyone who I haven't thanked~. I need more TAFs now aaaaaaa.

What is the average price for Night Glider, I have seen it vary.

I by all means am not like an expert, but glancing through sold listings/current listings on eBay when I found this one were from $60+. We certainly won her under that benchmark, lol.

ok thanks, but what makes a pony a "grail"? I see that sometimes people only call super expensive ponies grails, but then there are some that are around 60 dollars. What makes it a genuine "grail"?

[Icicle]

IMO, it's subjective? To me, in my situation, $60 or more is really expensive to me. But I think it's also a rarity thing, there were only two live listings when I found her, this one that was at $18 (oh, how I wish that's what it had ended at  ) and another with a BIN for $120 or so. And I don't remember finding her a lot on eBay when I was originally collecting. Perhaps someone else has a better insight on the term? Just all I know, to me this is a pony that I had trouble find, at a price in my budget, so that's close enough as a 'grail' for me.

alrighty thanks, I don't have anything that would be considered a "grail" then (I never thought I did in the first place), my most expensive G1 is my near mint applejack that I got for a little over 10 dollars  she may not be rare, but she is adorable 

I'm not sure if I'd pay 60 dollars for a G1 pony, but that also depends on the pony.

[Icicle]

Yeah, there's very few ponies I'd spend that much on (or that my husband would let me, lol!). But I got Night Glider for $35 shipped, which was lower than the $120 BIN.. so I'm content with that!

That's actually a really good deal, if I saw a Night Glider for that much I might snatch it up, but at the same time, I am not a very serious collector for G1's.

That's awesome! Congrats on your grail!

Icicle had a good answer for this, but I just wanted to add that grail status also isn't always about the collector value of a pony, but sometimes can even be a pony that you just never seem to come across, making it harder to find for you even if no one else seems to have trouble finding it lol

[Gingerbread]

Congrats! She is one of my grails too

A grail is that pony that you really, really want, doesn't matter if the pony is Cotton Candy or Italian blue Lickety Split
