I'm in the UK and I avoid pony stuff if I have to use the GSP. I don't think collecting is as affordable as it was and this is a real shame. I think the hobby is changing. I'm a G1 collector and I suppose change is inevitable as time goes by. But if I needed to sell my collection I might find it harder since the market might be reduced in size by postage costs. If Ebay ever remove other postage options I'll have to sell elsewhere on principle.
