So I just logged onto my local bidding site just to show my mom an interesting fake up for sale for $5 when the first result was a "buy now" South African Applejack for $20 which I immediately grabbed before someone else could.
So... just out of curiosity, how much is she currently going for online? I know South African ponies are sought after so I'm curious because I know it's at least more than $20 (hopefully)
Can anyone help me out?

:dropjaw: You lucky duck!!!!!!!!! She is worth WAY more than $20. Some SA ponies sell for thousands.
-
Oh wow!!! I don't know a lot about the SA ponies but I want to follow this to find out! Congrats, seriously! I know you've made an awesome score. :biggrin: :biggrin:
Also out of curiosity because I am a fakie fanatic, what was the interesting fakie you'd meant to show your mom before you found AJ? :P
-
Wow, what an awesome find!!
-
Oh wow!! She's worth at least hundreds, if not thousands! And she looks like she's in great condition too!

Thank you guys >w< I'm honestly extremely happy! I have one other South African pony (Starshine) but I was worried if I was like "wow! Look I found a rare South African pony again!" someone would be like "lol Applejack is the only South African pony not worth much" or something X'D
As for the fakie! I was posting about her on tumblr last night because of how amusingly accurate she looked to me.

And I was considering getting her because she's going for roughly $5 ($10 plus shipping) but after grabbing this Applejack I'll probably have to let her go. I don't actually have money for ponies right now >.>;

Wow that SA is such a good find. Congrats :heart:
That fakie is so funny!!! "her name is even still snoell... She's just.. In a fakie box

Oh wow, I love legit looking fakes! I wish she was on ebay. XD Granted my fun money is gone for the month.
I hope you'll share photos when AJ arrives! I'd love to see her with Starshine too.
-
Congratulations! That's amazing...I can only dream! :frolic: :drunk:
What website????!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow! What a find!
Applejack is worth around $800 or so, her pose is quite an acquired taste so she perhaps doesn't fetch as much as some as the others. It is hard to price the South Africans as it depends who is looking to buy.

Thanks so much PKW! That's fantastic! 8'D I'm so happy!
Once she arrives I'll clean her up and give you guys some nice comprehensive photos if you guys are interested. <3 I'm curious as to how good her hair is (it looks uncut?) And I'll post her with my poor Starshine who someone attacked with some scissors XD
As for the site, it's a local South African bidding site called BidorBuy. They sometimes have G1s up for sale but I tend to be very frustrated because they sell their G1s way too overpriced! (example: there's currently a Streaky for sale with large highlighter stains, matted and frizzed hair and age spots going for $15) Not to mention they sell that Target released Discord "heroes of Equestria" figure for $100+
But in this case I was very lucky! The seller seems to mostly sell video games for reasonable prices so they don't seem to really be a dedicated pony seller.
This is only the 3rd time I've ever seen a South African pony at all! So even in South Africa they are extremely rare.
-
Oh, I know that site! Never seen an SA on there myself.
A very lucky find indeed, good for you!
-
Great find! I was just on BidorBuy the other night looking at ponies, but couldn't figure out how to bid. :P
-
Just make sure the sellers on bidorbuy ship internationally 8'D a lot of them will notify that they don't, (Our shipping prices internationally are awful)
-
Oh nice find. They only actual figure i know what one south african aj sold for was a couple of thousand. Most prices of them arent told as they sell for offers but i can say i would be highly surprised to see her sell in the high hundreds, i am pretty sure should you sell her see would sell in the thousands
-
Thank you for posting nhal :) You are correct the SA ponies can fetch into the thousands ^.^ and indeed the last few have sold for that much on the open market. With many being sold privately it is hard to give an accurate price check as what I know is limited some what :huh:
Love pkw xxx
-
That is a super neat find, congrats to getting them.
-
NO FREAKING WAY!!!
You just scored BIG time. That's one of the rarest ponies in all of ponyland.
'scuse me while I scoop my jaw up off the floor.

I am a fakie fanatic. :P
Muahaha. Me too! I can relate ^^
-
you are very lucky I have bought 2 of them and they were a lot more than 800 and yes in the thousand range. I now have all the African but 4. I do have 2 African applejacks right now and would sell one for 2500 with payments or less if they can pay huge sums if anyone is interested. I would also consider parting with other Africans I have. you can PM me.

You must be rivaling Ember1's SA collection!
Thank you for sharing that information. As I stated in my previous posts it is pretty hard for me to give an accurate price check since many SA's are sold privately. I can only work with information that is openly available to me and that is ponies that been openly sold here or on various auction sites ;)

You hit the serious pony jackpot with that one! Congratulations!!!
-
You have been incredibly lucky there, major congrats!
-
I think Bubbles has a good price estimate there. $1500 USD minimum and probably more like $2000-$3000 because yours is in excellent condition, in open market she could go even. higher. AJ is a popular charictor and the S.A. is the most bizarre or her variants.
Awesome find and a perfect price! Congratulations!
