Which ponies do you find hard to sell?
« on: January 20, 2017, 04:38:06 AM »
I've always had trouble selling the later years ponies-- the Sundazzle set, Birthday Pony and the fibre-optic-crown Princess Sparkle.  Maybe everyone wants the classic characters early in G1.  Oddly though, they seem to be popular overseas.  It always seems like I have 500 Bride Ponys to sell.  Oh- and ballerinas.  No one wants them!

Huh, I always see the the later years go for much higher prices, and the earlier years never move. Odd.

I find g3s and g4s especially hard to move.

And I'm over here madly in love with the fiber optic princess and the ballerinas xD I never did sell much but when I sold off a large part of my collection, nobody bought my BBEs.

Common, run-of-the-mill G4s and G3s (i.e. Core 7 and Mane 6.) 

I guess nobody else wants a million Pinkie Pies, either.  :P

I'd buy a fiber optic princess in a heartbeat if I could find one for a decent price!

Here is my list:
Shs dainty
Brush and grows
The two unicorn dance and prance
Taf love melody
Pony bride
Sundance

Rice krispy baby stockings
Baby ballerinas
Cotton candy

Any of the "core" or more common G1's.

Except Snuzzle and Minty for some reason. (I still need them but seem to lose out every time becasue the bids go up so high or the auction ends deep in the night.)

Same goes for Cherries Jubilee, Posey, Bowtie, Tickle, Starflower. No one seems to have any interest. I have tried to sell some of them ones I mentioned above, but they are just not interesting enough I guess or everyone has them already.

When I find duplicates at a flea market, it's always the earlier G1 releases. The last batch I had included some like Gusty, Baby Tiddly Winks, A birthflower pony mail order, Firefly, Medley, Powder, etc. It took ages for them to sell and I actually took a huge loss. I was never able to sell Medley or Powder so I took them to my old job and set them on my desk.  I now have them at home again and don't know what to do with them. I feel like they are more effort to try to sell than it's worth.

I think the later years seem to sell more, from what I have seen. I have always thought G1 was the opposite of what it should be.....the older the pony, the least rare it is.

G3's are ridiculously hard to sell. I have some I need to re-home but i am just thinking about donating them.

He he, she's the one pony that I like having the different versions of but not hundreds of the same version.

G3s. They just don't shift individually unless they're the super rare or desirable ones, but even then I've struggled! Heck, even common G1s sell better!

Before you go donate them, maybe try posting a thread on the arena for those of us who do really love them? Maybe offer them for super cheap or free if we pay shipping that way you know they're going to a good home.

I personally love G3 and would hate for them to wind up going to a place that wouldn't love them  :cry:

Schooltime ponies except for Paintingtime and Sunshine ponies (except for Shoreline and Seaflower of course). Especially if they are not in perfect shape *sigh*

Yeah I noticed that too. Why is Painting Time so rare?
