Yay for someone coming to Ponycon from across the Atlantic
I really hope you have a safe flight over and that you have a really good time
I don't know the current conversion to $CAD but the £ is still pretty weak against the $US and the €, which may work in your favour.
My input is quite rough and others will be able to help you more but just to start the ball rolling. I tend to price sporadically in £ or $US so sorry for that :/
One important thing for you to remember is that at ponycon there are more likely to be multiple stalls with some of the same UK or European ponies on them. This sometimes can push the price of those ponies down a bit or enable some negotiations. Since they're native to these areas, they tend to be more plentiful at ponycon than they might be at a US or Canadian fair. That means in person prices are sometimes lower - also because there's not a currency conversion involved for the seller, or a paypal fee, or anything like that. So online prices do not always apply. Equally some ponies go the other way in person sales because of the convenience of being able to buy the pony without a shipping cost attached.
I think pretty much everyone at ponycon sells in £ no matter where they come from so that might be your most important price check/conversion currency from CAD$.
Purple Woosie - This is a US pony not a European one. Basically she's sold anywhere the Happytails are, but mostly Stateside.
o
White Star Milky Way ($15?) I would say that's probably around right. £8-10ish in GBP?
o
NSS Buttons with 7 buttons - I'd say about the same? £10ish? The one with 3 large buttons is also equally as common in the UK but I think they price about the same in good shape?
o
Raindrop - Never seen her at ponycon except in collection displays.
o
Hopscotch ($15?) If you're lucky you might get her for less. She's not hugely uncommon in the UK although finding one in good condition can be tricky. I think the last one I sold I sold for $10ish.
o
Cascade ($25?) - I find it really hard to price Cascade :/
o
Sweetheart-Tales version - Tales ponies are still quite expensive sometimes, even here. The last one I saw for sale here anywhere in person was Clover for £35 at a toy fair and she wasn't in the best shape. I don't think Sweetheart is as expensive as that but you might want to keep in mind...I would say maybe around £25-30 but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Babies:
o
Baby Heart Throb - I think she's now the most expensive of the set. It also depends if you want one with winged hearts or plain hearts. The latter is more common in the UK but rarer online, for some reason. I've seen her sell quite high. I mean over $70 :/
o
Baby Starbow with purple streak - Online she can probably sell for more but in person in a UK meet I wouldn't expect her much more than £5ish as she's the native version. Quite possibly less.
The ones below are potentially costly. Buttons and CJ, Hopscotch aren't from the UK so only tend to appear occasionally. Diamond and Candy are quite sought after even here. Someone else will know a more accurate price range but Diamond may be cheaper if her tinsel is damaged - minty tinsel will make her more expensive :/

Pearly Tiny Bubbles and float- see below.
o
Pearly Sea Star and float - I have one of these in my box with her float and I think I'm going to sell her for around $15-18 so I would work around that for all the UK sea ponies. Maybe less in person. The same would apply for the alternate pose pearlies from the UK set. The floats are the same as the US ones so you might get a better deal buying the pony separately.
o
Surf Dancer and shell - Surfdancer's shell is the same as one of the US sea ponies' shells, so you might save money just buying the pony. I think the last one I sold for about £15-20ish.
Dutch Ponies - No idea about these but they do appear at ponycon. We have some Dutch regulars who come over for the event as well and some of them sell. Maybe they can advise you on prices for these?
