What is your best pony find.......
« on: August 12, 2012, 09:22:07 PM »
Thought this was be a fun thread to start. What do you consider to be your best pony find/best bargain ever?

Mine would be finding the first official Baby Takara on honeymoon in Japan for 80p.

I found SS Twilight (amongst others) for a dollar last year, my first pony thrift find ever.

Near Mint Flurry with super pink hair for a dollar too ^_^ That was a few months ago...

Before that, it was Munchy for $2 at the same thrift store.  :)

Hmm I think my best find was at a Value land in the early 2000's.

I found a HUGE stash of my little ponies, someone's collection for sure! I paid around $50 for a TON of ponies and accessories. It was so long ago that I do not remember all of the ponies I found but here is what I remember!

Near complete PE
Firefly Wallet
Lemon Drop Purse
Beach Comber
TE Whizzer
TE Sweet Stuff
SS Paradise
Posey
Cherries Jubilee
Baby Buggy complete with box and Baby Cuddles
Baby Rainribbon
Posey Rosey
Rice Krispy Baby
Satin n Lace
July Birthflower
Up Up and Away
Yum Yum
TE Party time
Flutter Yum Yum
Flutter Rose Dust
TE Quackers
Tootsie
Slugger

And the best for last! Hollywood with wings!

But other than that, the Arena has been my best find! :) Always can find ponies on the arena!

Best pony find = Copper Glow sticking out of a trash can outside. I must have looked pretty suspicious grabbing a pony out of the garbage, but after a good wash she turned out pretty mint :lovey:
Didn't even have to buy her.

A lot of ponies containing very near mint SS Angel, SS Crumpet, SS Taffy, Quarterback with helmet, Trickles, SS Lickety-Split, Skippity Doo with stand, a MLP suitcase-sized tote, about 30 puffy stickers, and Mimic for $45.  My boyfriend's best pony find (for me, of course!) would have to be a lot of 30+ G1 ponies including MB Lightning at a yard sale here in Michigan for $10!

Yesterday my answer would have been different attempting to remember the ponies I scoured car boots for in the 1990s.

This morning however, I received a parcel from my Dad who lives in France and had been to a car boot near him.

Not overly hopeful, but appreciating his effort, I opened the box and found a bunch of cute fakies and a couple of lovely G2 & G3s, then...

...Dutch Heart pony!  For under a Euro!  And utterly out of the blue!

I'm not too proud to admit it, I squeaked like a kid at Christmas.  I'm still bouncing now after starting to clean her up. She has pink highlighter on her ears and eyebrows and *I don't care* Squee!
