Did that yesterday... for the first time :/ *stillsad*It was a whole bunch of self-made trophies from the german convention 2012. They were made of hairless Collectors Ponys, sprayed in gold or silver or bronze paint and over the years they started to kinda dissolve So yesterday I finally throw them out. My heart is bleeding to discard G1 ponies but they were sticky to the point of no return.
I don’t know what was in G3 Secret Wish but mine had a slimy onion sweat after awhile that’s even worse than remco sticky and I sadly had to toss her… don’t know if that’s just the batch of plastic which made mine or everyone’s, but if we keep making new toys from landfill type waste we’ll probably eventually run out of parks. Maybe smaller plushies are the answer to corroding plastics? Sighs.
Difficult... I'd like to say that I would never throw anything from G1 out, but I can't deny that I have thrown my unwanted pile of manky Italians a "you're out of here"-look on more than one occasion. Don't worry, they're still here. I could never throw a pony in the trash, my conscience would kill me! But I really really don't want them, they will never make it to my collection area, and in my opnion Italians ALWAYS look manky, even when they're near mint (the one in my avatar is an exception, she's very sweet). So why don't I just put them up for sale? I'd like to, but shipping from The Netherlands is crazy. I only put ponies up for sale if their own price makes up for it, because nobody would pay close to 25 euros shipping for a $5 pony. I'm also a super inexperienced seller, so shipping items abroad makes me nervous. Long story short: I would really like to throw some items/ponies out, but I'm too chicken to do so.

Sighs.It's a side effect of the plasticizer breaking down/leaving the vinyl mix, and yes, everyone's G3 Sparkle Ponies are messed up from it! You can soak up the stickiness with baby powder but it keeps coming out until it's all gone... then you have a super rock hard pony that is slightly discoloured.
You can always try to sell them within Netherlands? Also is the 25€ to US or inside Europe shipping price?

Selling within The Netherlands would be a good idea, but I'm always afraid nobody would want them anyway because this country is flooded with Italian ponies (judging by my own experience and fleamarket brags from other Dutch people), and not even the good (super rare) ones.
