That's really lucky! I've never found ponies at yard sales or thrift shops as much as I've tried. :/ Found a really cool stuffed lion though.

Hmm, I found a mostly complete Megan's Place back in the day (I remember being really confused, because I knew my ponies well and had never heard of it).  I also found two of Hollywood (no wings, traded one for a super mint SS Crumpet with zero rubs, and I had the same confusion for the same reason when I found them).

My friend found some good ponies for me when she studied in Scotland for a semester; does that count?

MB Ice Crystal and Lightning x 2
yellow UK sea pony
Schoolhouse
UK Princess Sparkle
and a bunch of more common UK ponies too
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

I've gotten a lot of G1s for about a quarter each, mint Baby Snippy for 50 cents, and a really gorgeous Magic Star for 20 cents.

This past weekend I scored the pinkest Dream Castle I have ever seen and The Dance School at a garage sale. :)
Last Summer I found a complete Paradise Estate and a complete Dream Castle.

I'm a magnet for Dream Castles, I've found 4 in the last year. :)

And one time, I found 100+ ponies at the same thrift store in one go, including a lot of my grails at the time: Nightglider, Lemon Treats, Princess Tiffany, Nightglow, wingers, boys and newborn twins.  I was very happy that day.  :)

One, I want that pony luck. Did you get a good price on them too?

Two, your picture there just made me fall for MO Mommy... She's so beautiful! I wanna find one.

I haven't had any luck thrifting ponies :/ Just bags of G3s and the occasional G4.

A good friend of mine found a Rapunzel for like $3 or something at a thrift store a few months ago. I think she posted her here for a PC actually. I don't think I will ever contain my jealousy haha.

They were about $1 each.  It was a very good pony day.   :)

I love this thread.  Keep the stories coming.  :)

oh wow, congrats to you all :D
that Munchy look delicious <3


My best find I think was Greek Bluebelle! I found her on a fleamarket in Hannover / Germany, which I visited with my daughter and my aunt. While the both were hunting for dolls and children video tapes and such, I was searching for ponies and finally found a full box of Barbie stuff with the indication of pink hair showing at one side. I examinded it closer, found Italy Lickety Split and... Greek Bluebelle :D My heart jumped lol. Oh my, I so love this memory <3
