Kingsday Haul!

[Broken Irishwoman]

It's that time of year again!

After last year's disaster (there were next to no sellers because of the bad weather, it was the first time there were no ponies at all), I got a worthy haul again! 17 G1 ponies, a puzzle, some accessories, a stable, a carrying case and 3 Fairy Tails. There are also two puffy stickers in the heart shaped box! Literally all the ponies are doubles, but some are upgrades, so I'm still super happy with them!

Highlights: Cherry Treats, all of the babies plus Highflyer, Taffeta Tails and Flutter Tails (I didn't have those yet), the Moondancer stamp, the box with barrettes and the puffy stickers.

Ahh major congrats on finding so many nice things!! I was looking for ponies too, but all I found was a dingy G2 that I don't collect. I'm curious where you went hunting! Rotterdam was empty, might've been because of the rain earlier on the day..

They're all sooo cute though! I like the peacocklike Fairy Tails!

Congrats again on such an amazing haul.

Wow!  Huge congrats.  What a great haul.  I never get lucky enough to find nice G1's in the wild.

Definely a great catch! So much ponies!!

Congrats on such a nice find there, I have not seen that puzzle yet. Those fairy tale birds are lovey too.

Every year I hear about this mysterious 'kingsday' and see all of the awesome brags people post!  I have to say I am ultra envious as we don't have anything like this in my country!  What a huge score of awesome G1 ponies.  I see white Tootsie in the mix

Major congrats and thanks for sharing

Congratulations, I didn't expect someone to find that much g1 since I just found 1.
Yes the weather wasn't that nice but here there were a few drops and it was cold.
I am going to prepare my pictures

Gosh! Congrats on that nice haul!

Thanks everyone! I'm super happy with them.

Cherry Treats and Cotton Candy (both are upgrades) were a last minute catch, too! We were already on our way to the bus, when I spotted a lonely stand across the street, not even close to the market. I could just SMELL they had ponies, so I racewalked to said stand with a pokerface. I left two ponies behind though, because the lady asked €3 each. That's not so bad, but it's more than I'm willing to spend on a Sundance with lipstick and another Italian Peachy.

By the way, it's kind of annoying that people are starting to catch on. Earlier that day I paid €13,50 for five ponies, and €7,50 for two ponies and the parlour elsewehere. Because "these are the real ones!" Still below the market value of course, but those are not fleamarket prices, you know? It kind of takes the fun out of it.

I'm curious to see what other Dutch collectors have found yesterday! And Tiffoes, I think in the randstad it's just harder to find stuff these days, I noticed before that people over there have a harder time to find anything. I'm in the south, things just don't move that quickly here.
