Thrift store luck strikes again
« on: November 26, 2018, 12:16:41 PM »
I think when you visit second hand stores as often as I do you are bound to have good luck and the odds were definitely in my favor on this day!

I couldn't quite believe it at first when I spotted one then two then THREE bags of G1 ponies. I'm so used to a single pony here and there with a sharpie price staining it's body. I never paused to even inspect the bags just grabbed them and hugged them to my chest protectively. My husband came around the corner with some random item (don't think I even looked at it) saying "Look what I found" and I interrupted him saying "LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!" I was in a bit of a daze the rest of that trip, couldn't wait to get home and see what I had.

The full set of year 5 Twice as Fancy ponies!! This is the fastest set completion I've ever had haha I already have Dancing Butterflies and Sugar Berry so once these gals have gone through a spa day I'll decide which I want to keep and sell the extra.

I don't think I've ever seen a Starshine this color before :blink: I plan to keep Confetti and Sunlight for sure and if she doesn't sell anytime soon maybe I'll attempt a rehair on Posey for my army.

Birthday pony really stood out in the bag. I'm really happy to get her! She is such a fun unique pony! Her streamers are all stretched out so I need to figure out how to fix them up a bit. My second favorite of these is Fizzy, she has such a pretty pastel color scheme.

So many babies!! Highlights are of course baby Fifi and the mail order baby Blue Ribbon. I love how blue they are. Such bold dark colors were underused.

So there it is my recent crazy good luck!

That's absolutely insane!!!! :dropjaw:
Congrats!! Even bigger than my biggest haul, I think it's at 22 ponies from one person. Though not all at once since that goodwill prices them two to four at a time....

That's pretty cool! Congrats to you!! :frolic:


When I was an avid collector.. never saw a single pony or pony bag in sight anywhere.... 10 years! From... 2005 - 2015... Then AFTER I stop collecting,.. Mom and I go antique shopping on a random Saturday, and lo and behold, I find a G1 Applejack and a few G3s.. LOL. Oh the irony. :P :lol:
