Taking a risk sometimes pays off!
« on: April 03, 2013, 01:03:19 PM »
What do you do when you're looking on Kijiji (Canadian Craig's list) and all you can see in the one picture provided is a bag full of ponies with one Night Glider and a ton of question marks? AND they're 60 kilometers away?

I think Night Glider by herself would have been worth the drive...  :snicker: But what a great pony haul you got there, huge congrats!

I LOVE mystery bags! Unfortunately for me it's usually the one g1 and tons of common g3 or g3.5!

I know, right? I can't believe I wanted her that much! Lol! I figured, anyone who had Night Glider HAD to have some goodies, but they were hor grown daughter's so she had no idea who all was in there! The ad was over a month old, too!

That's a great haul!!! So many ponies and a birthflower too:) I hope they clean up well for you. If you do try rehairing, I'd love to see pictures too.

The birthflower is Violet...which HAPPENS to be MY birthflower! I always wanted one, what a weird way to go abbout it! It's like it was written in Night Glider's stars!  :lol:

WOW :dribble: Mega awesome haul and I would have been dying to look in the bag the whole way home ;)

It was so hard not to dive into them...I did reach in at a stoplight and pulled out Daddy Apple Delight (mom's in there too!) pony, then Whirly Twirl and I just about screamed! Lol...my BF doesn't get the pony thing, so I had to keep it in check, but inside I was going berzerk!
If they hadn't been so dirty I may have rolled around in them on the bed when I got home! Now comes the work.... :P
