Hi! Here we are. Have a peek. Worth noting.... Anyone interested in these or shall I put on eBay as a big lot/give some to my nieces? The G2 playset has everything except Princess Morning Glory (hahahaha) the cafe is missing a couple of bits of cake and has been on display, and one box is missing a baby pony. Have a look, thoughts welcome... Includes the (IIRC) 2008 UK PonyCon exclusive Target Exclusive Doseydotes I got at PonyCon 2004 Chocolate Chipper I bought in NYC Some boxes are pretty battered from moving over the years X-posted to one UK MLP selling forum Oh God I can't remember how to host an image soooooooooo here's the post on my FB!

Hi everyone,
It's been a long time! Errrrrrrrrr six years apparently. How did that happen?
First of all, huge apologies if this question has been asked a zillion times in the interim. It's been a bisy few years and I have baby twins (!!!) so I'm writing this in their nap!
We just moved and I'm getting the ponies (and She-Ra, and Sailor Moon, and one or two Pokemon items that have crept in, ahem) on display. I have loads of MIP G3s, mainly Friendship Ball and Butterfly Island and I just don't have space for them. I am quite happy to bung them all on EBay as a job lot but I was just wondering if any of them are actually worth anything... my little cousins always want to come round and open them.... I was thinking about just giving them to them as a gift! Are any G3s worth anything...?
Also, years ago, (so long its in the pre-2012 archive I can't find the post) I posted about suitcase I thought I'd lost in a move with a load of my childhood G1s in (including Hopsotch in my Avatar). Guess what my parents turned up with a load of my stuff when we moved and... THE PONIES WERE IN THERE!!! It's exactly 10 years since I saw them. I can't imagine any of you remember this, but I thought it was worth sharing.
I also have a load of those G3s with the Ombre legs (you know what I mean) are they of interest to anyone?
Thanks so much
Frances

Hi all, EXCITED though of course packing has been a nightmare but now I am ready... sniff... to say au revoir to many many ponies. The price check archive has been incredibly useful (thanks Hathorcat) but I couldn't see this G2 watch anywhere! Not here, not DreamValley, not MLW. I bought in Argos in errrrr maybe 98/99 and it's a bit scruffy (I wore it all the time til the battery gave up, sure it could be replaced) but dows anyone know anything more about it... and what would one price it at? <iframe src=" https://www.flickr.com/photos/francesponies/15307978347/in/photostream/player/" width="75" height="75" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> if that doesn't work its here https://www.flickr.com/photos/francesponies/15307978347/in/photostream/See you all tomorrow!!! PF Post Merge: October 10, 2014, 03:30:20 AMalso "are you joking, 50p" is completely a valid answer!

Hi all! Sadly I am downsizing my collection and while a hefty search of the archive has proved invaluable for price checks on a bajillion G1 babies I have found some of these Nirvanas but not all... Plus I'm really dense and I can't tell what sort of eyes Blossom has... they are stamped, right? visitors can't see pics , please register or loginhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/francesponies/15124406710/in/photostream/I am planning on selling all these girls, likely at UK Pony Convention, but could also post them if someone here is super keen! Sorry I know that's a bit cheeky (hint hint) but I couldn't resist. How much would you reckon for the following Spanish Moonstone Italy Blossom Italy Heart Throb (alas with a pen tattoo on her non-display side) Italy Peachy (2 stamps) Italy Parasol Italy Cotton Candy NC Mummy Apple Delight (with one eye scratched off and some pen marks) The pictures are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/francesponies/

Hi
First of all, sorry for asking for price checks! V cheeky. I've never done it before. I had a search of the archives but couldn't see some of these....
I'll update with photos this weekend, but to get the ball rolling what could one reasonably expect for...
Baby Bonnet School of Dance (totally complete with the song cards and everything)
Show Stable with rosettes, cups etc
Spanish Moonstone (very scuffed, sadly)
Italy Peachy
Macau Peachy (both lovely condition)
Princess Misty
Princess Pristina (both with full fabulous glittery fringes)
Merry treat
Baby Fun'n'Games
MIP G3:
Pinkie Pie grooming set w hairbrush etc
Target exclusive Doseydotes (with the hat)
Also still undecided!! sell them online or come to UK Ponycon...

Hi everyone,
It's been a loooooooooooong LOOOOONG time! How's it going? I hope all is well in Ponyland.
After my latest move and various abrupt financial changes, while I will always love all things MLP, I think it is probably time to substantially downsize my collection. I am sure other collectors will love them just as much as I have! Also I lost a box when moving including Hopscotch (my avi) and Moulin Rouge customs and all my G1 rainbow ponies and that's always made me a bit sad since... anyway that's all by the by.
We are talking about a couple of hundred ponies, lots of G1 including euro princesses, various rare European ones, plus lots of well-loved ones and some which are really cutom bait, plenty of G2 including babies and MIP and G3 with a mixture of MIP, collector specials and well-loved ones from brocantes and flea markets. Plus some amazing customs... all at the more fabulous/sparkly end of the spectrum! Plus Baby Bonnet School of dance (complete), the Show Stable, the G3 cafe, the G2 catwalk castle thingy...
How/where would you guys advise selling them? One huge lot, split them up into groups, or one by one? Here on the arena, or EBay, or should I come over to the UK for one last Ponycon and get a stall there? Postage from Belgium is probably not going to be cheap...
Really it is quite a big step and so I thought I would ask the experts... you guys... you can tell form this I'm not from the spreadsheet/neat inventory school of pony collecting, I've just kind of gathered them over the year! Any thoughts/advice gratefully received!
Also I have my Sailor Moon and She-Ra stuff, mulling over what to do with that!
Thanks!
