what's the most you've paid for a pony?

most I've paid is $50 for silver spoon. On top of that, it was with my dad's money who doesn't really support me in my hobby. 😬

Hmm. Probably the $20 I spent on Steamer.
should be perma-moderated

$400 for M/O Sweet Scoops. Hopefully that'll be the most I ever spend on a US release pony. :blink:
My creativity keeps running into a lack of time and resources.  :cry:
I'm also available via twitter at @Kazzellin :)

So many projects!! What do I want to work on? :awake:

$60 for Macau "Blosscotch". I was like 14 or so at the time and used bday money or something. Now that I have monetary commitments I'm a bit more wary about spending much on any one pony... making a lot of nirvanas out of my reach lol.

On a single loose pony? It was Brazilian Paradise, and I forget the exact amount, but she was worth every penny.

I balance it out with the fact I didn't have to spend big bucks on a lot of the other expensive ponies, because I traded for them back in the 1990s, so I'm pretty okay with her being the big ticket item on my shelf. Rapunzel effectively cost me 50p xD.

The most I spent collectively on items were the three second set MIB Princess Ponies I have, which I bought together from the same seller, albeit it was before I went back to uni and I think I paid for one each month xD. I think that they were around $200 each (Pristina, Sunbeam, Moondust). This was in a time when the exchange rate was nicer though.

The most I spent on nonpony items were backcards. I love backcards. I love them enough to buy a MOC pony simply for the backcard. So a big lot of backcards from the UK? Pretty much my grail xD.

But I don't really want to throw out any numbers for that one.

I think it was $75 for Argie Whizzer. I've paid a lot more than that on custom ponies though.

Hobbies can be expensive. :shrug:

But I prioritize life and savings first, and I try to be frugal. And when the time is right, I'll splurge on myself. :) So yeah, I've paid a pretty penny for a pony.

Hmm, I think only $35.  These pockets aren't deep.  However, I'm starting to get into the pricier Sugarberry pose ponies so I'll probably have to dig a bit deeper if I want all of them!
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:

$185 for last year's Basic Fun! SDCC exclusive because I was dumb and didn't pre-order one. About $180 for Bay Breeze.

£100 is my self-imposed limit for toy purchases (my most expensive toy purchase ever was Monster High Kieran Valentine for £100. Worth every penny, I love him!).
I know that Tornado was my most expensive pony, I think he cost £90 including postage from Sweden. He was worth it too, he's awesome :lovey:
I've managed to collect several Nirvanas/rare ponies without going over my budget, though it helps that I don't mind poor condition ponies (actually I think I like them best, they need loving).
In contrast, my cheapest pony was Newborn Sunset for 50p. So it all evens out :)
I've been looking at the Mountain Boys I don't have but I just can't bring myself to pay that much, I think it would make it hard to enjoy them somehow. So I'll have to hold out in hopes of finding a baity boy that costs a bit less than all the super minty ones on eBay!

£176 for Ice Crystal about ten years ago has been the most I've paid for a single pony so far, and double that amount (£335) for a lot of two ponies.

So far, the most I've paid for 1 pony is 45 euros for Night Glider. She is in a perfect condition, definitely worth it :)

Similar to Shaz, my limit is 100 at the moment for pony purchases

Hmm, if I remember correctly, the most I've ever spent on a pony was £20 for Merry-Go-Round Sparkler. That's my upper limit for spending on toys these days, much as I enjoy collecting, arranging and maintaining them as a calming and uplifting hobby, having that limit in place helps to keep my space well-organised and my savings safe!
That said, at some point I may throw caution to the wind just once and treat myself to Rainbow Magic as I've been wanted her in my herd for years and never found her within that price range.

I spend a good amount on my piggy Lemondrop. A fair price paid in layaway.
I tend to get ponies for much cheaper though. I snagged up all my taf wave 2 ponies for less then 40 euro's each.

I don't plan on spending that much on a single pony anymore, though I still want piggy Minty.
