Missing ponies you sold

[Snapdragon]

Topics like these make me so scared to sell ponies!! So I don't do it very often, even though I keep buying eBay lots for one or two ponies and promising myself I'll sell the others...

I hope all of you find the ponies you are missing, and that they aren't too expensive to replace either! Big hugs!

Hello everyone,

I sold ponies out of necessity a while back. This may sound silly and overly emotional but I miss them. They were all very dear to me and I have replaced some of them but I still miss the ones I don't have back yet.

Annyone going through  the same?

I still feel a bit silly but I felt like sharing.

I sold most of my collection (except my complete UK collection and some special/sentimental ones) out of necessity a few years ago. I’ve literally cried over it. You’re not over-emotional or silly. I get it.

I have downsized before, but because I did it in a moment that wasn't rushed out of financial desperation I had plenty of time to consider my decisions...and I'm super happy with the improved focus it brought to my collecting. Even though I let go of about a third of my collection at the time, I'm still satisfied because my new motto is "Less, but better."

There were only two I regret selling: HQG1C Fabulous Hair Fair Feathers (but I know she went to a friend with a fab collection)...and the more time passes, the more confident I feel in those choices.

So I had a random conversation with one of my colleagues on Saturday, and she mentioned how she had rebought all of her childhood G1 My Little Ponies, because her parents had given them away when she had been a kid, and she missed them. Colleague is a year or two older than me, so completely a G1 pony kid, but it was so nice to hear someone else still attached to her childhood pony memories.

I think the conversation began because we were talking about issues with shipping and she mentioned selling books to help pay for her vet bills...I said I used to trade and sell ponies online a lot and about the wings on the windy/summer wings being hard to pack, and she just happened to throw that in there xD. I note she is selling books and not ponies to pay her vet bills o.o.

Not going through this, but just wanted to say that I don't think it's silly and it's good that you share your feelings. I hope you'll find them soon.

I completely understand. Long ago, I gave away and traded some of my childhood ponies and I still miss them a lot, even though I got replacements later on. I just feel like that's not the same as having my childhood ones. On the good side, I have a ton of childhood ponies and I kept most of them so it's only a small number that I'm missing. I also sold off some ponies I loved (not childhood ones) and even though I bought replacements later on, I feel like it is not the same as if I could have back the ones I had and I miss them. I also miss a few that I know I will never be able to afford to replace that I sold for a very cheap price compared to their value nowadays.

I have not sold anyone as I'm afraid I'll regret it. I haven't even sold after getting upgrades But I did give away a Star Catcher to a friends child some ten years ago and now I miss her (the pony) terribly and wonder whatever I was thinking.. I also had some G3 books I gave away to an aquintance as a present at her first childs namegiving cerenomy. I was short on cash and could not afford to buy anything at the time.. the child would not have any use for them until toddler age anyhow.. Stupid.

When I first started collecting MLP I sold a nice G1 Party Time I had that didn't have any regrind at all. I wish I had kept her, I didn't know how rare it is to have one without regrind!

I ended up selling the Purple Sunday Best pony and I kinda regret it.

I'm selling more ponies as we speak I need the money so badly.

Honestly, after selling the ones I did earlier, ponies have lost their joy for me. I still like them (and love my favorites) and enjoy seeing others collections, but I don't think I'll re-collect again. I'll stick with growing my Raincurl and Applejack armies. I really want the statue of human Applejack with orange skin. That will take me a long time to get. I'm missing a lot of Applejack releases, so that will keep my busy I also like to commission and collect artwork of Raincurl. A way for me to add ponies without actually adding a real pony

Does missing ponies that you never purchased but had the oppurtunity to buy counts? 

There’s a few that I regret not buying 10 years ago cause I thought they were not as colorful lol. Now I regret it.
