Title: Price checks - Mommy & Baby, MIB Good Weather
Post by: daffodil101 on November 17, 2020, 09:38:34 PM
Hi guys!  I'm selling some htf ponies and am hoping to get an idea of their value. 

The Mommy pony is my profile pic, if the link doesn't work.  I have her and the baby and what I think are probably the correct playpen and aqua duck comb.  They have original curl and hair is still pink.

I also have Good Weather mint in box.  I haven't taken a photo of her recently but this is just a pic off google--

Any help would be appreciated!  I'm selling them to raise funds so I obviously want to get a good price (I'm on a disability pension so don't have many other options in order to save money) 

I have a buyer in mind who offered 500 aud (360 USD) for Mommy & Baby.  The only recent sale I could find was on ebay and the set went for 1,000 USD (I KNOW what the heckapoo).

I bought a Good Weather with all her accessories loose for roughly 200 USD.

I would say $600-800 minimum for the Mommy/Baby set. Besides the pair You saw at $1,025, a mommy alone with faded hair sold for $349.99 and Baby alone sold for $300. $800-ish for the pair would put you more in the middle/average range for the two. Hopefully, that helps.

The offer you've had for M&B, especially if they have pink hair and their accessories, is a lot lower than what I would expect them to sell for on auction. I would hold out for more than that. Nessa's figures seem more realistic, I would err on the higher end of that scale honestly, as the accessories don't come up often (IF you can be sure they are the right ones of course).

I don't know with GW. I have one with her box and pieces but it's not NRFB and I got it at the carboot sale. I've never had another one though. I've seen a lot of Rosette and Sweet Clover MIB in various forms but GW doesn't come up so often. She is a bit later I suppose...and was better promoted so probably sold more in stores.

I think the $200-$250 USD range would be realistic if it was a good condition one. Based on Pandachan's price for pony and accessories loose.

In my opinion $800 is way too much for the Mummy & Baby pony set. I recently paid $565 for mine on ebay (auction, not fixed-price), and they came with all the accessories and both still have pink hair with factory curls.

I paid 750$ for the mommy and baby complete with all accessories earlier this year, they have plasticizer leak so good condition should be more

I feel like you got a deal, Ice Crystal. I've never seen the set sell particularly low, especially with the accessories.

Well, nobody placed a higher bid (and the seller offered worldwide postage, so no limitations there) so I concluded that's what they must be worth at the moment.

you are lucky I missed that auction - I would have placed a higher bid as I am looking for that set with accessories

Other things do feed into that though. Including customs duty and import costs. Some people factor those into expensive purchases as well when it's down to ebay.

In any case, I'm really happy for you :D I just am not sure whether I'd use that as a benchmark for the set if it's a one off example, when they've sold much higher on multiple occasions in the past.

Though it's also possible the current world situation has had an immediate impact on all prices, in which case they may continue to sell for lower for a while as people are unsettled about money or whatever else.

This is killing me. I had a near complete Good Weather and did not know about her market value. Oh well!
