Pony Corral / Re: What it costs to buy an entire G1 collection - introducing the MLP Price Guide

Eternia, I wish I was a coding whizz, I just use Excel formulas for converting the prices/adding the totals etc and type them up into the website. Yes, I’m slowly doing the artwork :drunk: thanks for taking a look!

Sky Rocket, that’s fascinating about the early prices when some collectors were seeing a particular pony for the first time. It amazes me when previously unknown nirvanas are still being discovered now after all this time from when they were first made.

It’s funny, isn’t it, when specific sellers have a certain style, to the point where you know it’s their photo without seeing their username, and their auctions always go for higher.

I love your thought process re the MIP charm bracelets  :lol:

My main feeling is that it’s helpful to have the info as a starting point, while keeping in mind all the excellent points you make about what goes into a final sale price. I see the price guide as adding to the many resources of websites, message boards, all the different auction websites you mentioned. The prices fluctuate so much year on year, or a certain pony becomes popular for an unexpected reason, that each number can only be an estimate.

Thank you all for feedback. I'll be updating the site soon.

Taffeta, thank you for taking the time to help improve my website. I am a fan of your website - it’s such a great source of info.

You’re right, ‘entire’ was my clickbaity headline.

I will add the alternate names so it’s more helpful to non-US users.

I will be adding international ponies and had been planning to go with ‘non-nirvana’, then by country. I’m about to go to bed, so need to think it through when I’m more awake, but will look at how the ponies are categorized and adding year of release information.

Bathtub, I know the type of sold auction you mean, where it’s crossed out to show they accepted an offer, but when you click it, it shows the full price.

That’s a really good point about the Colorswirl ponies, as I’d found about 3 prices each a few months ago. I did another search recently to try and fill in the rest of the blanks and there is a noticeable jump between those prices from a few months ago and now. I’m interested to see if those higher prices continue or it was a run-up to Christmas boost.

My aim for 2021’s prices is to do a larger sample per pony - it will always be limited, but more listings will help.

Thank you! It's all done manually, aiming to sample a larger number of auctions for each pony next year, so that will be even more typing...

Born from the flames of quarantine! Risen from the ashes of lockdown! Introducing the MLP Price Guide:




I’ve put together a website which gives collectors an estimate for what each pony, accessory or merchandise item is worth. This is done by averaging 5 sold eBay auctions. There’s more info about the process here.

The 2020 stats have just gone up - find out which ponies were the most expensive and cheapest, as well as the total cost of every G1 US pony (spoiler: it’s eye-watering). See if you can guess before looking the least expensive ponies, as there were some surprises in there.

I’m trying to catalogue more info about the masses of G1 merchandise out there and have included photos of my collection. For example, did you know there are more than 100 MLP jigsaws/puzzles? I did not, especially before starting to make little pictures for each entry.

It’s just G1 for now, but there are plans for more generations. International ponies and MOC/MIB prices are coming soon, as well as more merchandise pages. Please keep checking back as there’s lots more to be added!

I found out on the TP that Bluerose has a price guide website too, so please check it out as well: https://www.angelfire.com/oh5/bluerose9978/PRICE/
 
Coming back to collecting after a break, I was interested to see the Princess Sparkle craze has died down and Glow n Show ponies are really expensive now??

I used to be an active member years ago and have been collecting on and off since then. I’m a G1 fan, having had them when I was younger, but somehow the odd G3 has snuck in, despite myself vowing never to start another collection?? It’s all in boxes in my wardrobe at the moment, which makes finding something a nightmare. I want to display them again, but a downsize will be needed…

This year I started working on a pony website I’m excited to share. It’s in my sig if you want an exclusive look, so you can say you were there before it was cool. Otherwise I’ll be making a post explaining what it’s all about, just as soon as I fix a couple of technical difficulties (don’t mind the echoing wails of dramatic weeping).

Please could I change my username to Scout MLPPG

I haven't been here for years and created a new account with that name before realising I should change this account's name instead. Please could it be deleted? If not, I just won't use it. Thank you!
