Title: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: AbbieNurse on January 27, 2015, 10:16:06 PM: Just bought an eBay lot with a bunch of fakies in it. What'd you guys usually do with them?
Here they are.

Post by: Tulips on January 28, 2015, 12:21:09 AM: :lol: I saw that lot, quite a few pretty ponies, congrats. That alicorn fakie in the middle with the fluro hair made me laugh, it looks so cheeky! :P

Fakies are a personal preference, some people collect them (I like Lanards in particular) so you could try and pass them on if you don't wish to keep them. Or you could simply donate them. I've got a few I can't shift that will probably end up at lifeline soon, I'm sure a child would love them.
I also find it fun to customise them since they're not often worth much. ^.^

Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: Miss_Pompon on January 28, 2015, 02:27:36 AM: I donate them too, usually to preschool or for the waiting room of my doctor's office

Post by: banditpony on January 28, 2015, 04:06:55 AM: I also donate them

Post by: HelloGoodbye on January 28, 2015, 04:42:47 AM: I normally hang onto mine. Granted, I haven't been thrift store hunting for ponies for that long, so I haven't accumulated that many. I suppose that I may eventually have to figure out something else to do with them. I do kind of collect Lanards and Tara fakies, though, so I'd continue to hang onto those regardless.

Post by: lovesbabysquirmy on January 28, 2015, 07:11:41 AM: Sometimes if they are epic and awesome, they join the herd as cousins. Or yes, I donate them to little kids.

Post by: kaoskat on January 28, 2015, 07:33:25 AM: Depends on the fakie. Some I keep. Some I give away. Some I sell. Some I customize.

Post by: Leave a Whisper on January 28, 2015, 08:03:42 AM: If you like them keep them and these days its a very rare fakie that makes it into my herd to stay, pity. If you don't like em give em to younger relatives/neighbors kids or you can donate them

Post by: LadySatine on January 28, 2015, 08:05:13 AM: I sell them to Colorscapesart. Lol!

Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: mlp_loving on January 28, 2015, 01:07:31 PM: I don't like fakies..at all. :P I have 2 that I got for free because someone included them with some other ponies I bought on eBay. I still have them but I'll probably give them away.
Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: DazzleKitty on January 28, 2015, 01:53:31 PM: I'll admit I've thrown some fakies away.....

I hard ever get them anymore. I don't tend to buy pony lots. And I pass most of them up at flea markets.

Post by: octocorn on January 28, 2015, 03:04:19 PM: One of my clients directs a big kids fair at her school once a year and has a table of prizes that you can cash in your tickets for, and she collects gently used and new toys to give away, so I save all my fakies for her.
Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: invaderhorizongreen on January 28, 2015, 03:27:13 PM: I would keep them depending on the types, in my herd remcos are just fine.
Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: Diamond on January 31, 2015, 10:50:13 AM: We donate em back. I barely have enough time to sort the stuff I need to sell, to keep em to find good fakie homes for. I have seen some fun ones though.
Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: Rosencrantz on January 31, 2015, 04:57:21 PM: I eat them.

It's so cold and hard to get to the grocery stores here :(

Post by: melodys_angel on February 01, 2015, 09:45:57 AM: I might keep a few for the kids otherwise they get stored ina closet or given away.
Title: Re: What do you guys do with fakies?
Post by: kellyponyfeathers on February 01, 2015, 09:11:08 PM: Throw them at members who ask me what I do with them. :throw:

Just kidding. :P I've never collected fakies; I resell them or give them away. I've seen a few that are kind of cute though (sea pony and alicorn).

CUTE DUCK!!! I have never seen such a nice chocolate looking duck!!!

As for the topic- I toss them in the donation pile (there always seems to be one building).

Post by: Kiwi on February 03, 2015, 04:37:57 PM: I donated them back to Value Village with a pile of other stuff. I think I tried selling them once (along with other ponies) and got no interest, and they were taking space.
