After many years of debate, I think I have finally gotten to the point of finding new homes for my collection.  Most are from my childhood and yes, I'm a child of the MLP era! I remember buying them in stores and getting them as gifts for birthdays and holidays.  I took VERY GOOD care of my ponies and most, with only a couple exceptions, are in fantastic condition.  This decision comes from the fact they have been packed away in totes for years, literally!  I love them, but I want them to be appreciated, and I know my kids would have no interest and I don't want them to just be dumped at Goodwill when I'm gone.

What I need input about is this...while I kept everything, stickers, backcards, combs, brushes, ribbons, etc...they aren't necessarily all together.  I did keep a list of what baby pony items came with which pony, so I could match the exact ring toy/xylophone/other to the right pony (I just have to find the lists!), so I know I can put the full sets back together.  The only exceptions to that would be the ponies I added to my childhood collection, and the accessories for them. That being said (yes, I was that anal retentive as a young person!), is it better to try to put all the sets together, or just sell things as I find them but with the tag of "this goes to xxxx pony?"

Also, I am planning to got to the MD meet in April, as I want to sell as much off recorded paypal services as possible.  I do have playsets, including Paradise Estate and the UK Kitchen and Schoolhouse, although I'm still going through to see if there is anything I really do want to keep for me.  I can't possibly take everything, though.  What is going to be best to try to take for in person, vs what is fine with on line? 

Depending on how much time I have to devote, I'll do what I can for getting items ready for sale...I have moved a couple times, so I need to find where things ended up.  It will just be helpful to have an idea of where my energy can be best spent prior to the end of April.   

I have my custom Rapunzel, and she needs to have her hair accessories!  I would like to get a variety of the I Luv You barrettes for a hair style idea, and I also would like to get some of the pretty ups.  I would be interested in any, although I think the Seashore set would be my first preference.  I would look at loose or MIB. 

Any help I can get would be appreciated!  She is ready for her special display space, and I'd love to get her hair all prettied up, too!

I am working with a budget, so I can't go too crazy.  I am willing to trade, if anyone is looking for anything or would be interested in anything on my sales list.  http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,391578.0.html

Ebay has been more than a let down in this search, as no one is answering my questions regarding if the mechanism still works that retracts the tail or not.  As this will be for a custom, hair cuts, dirt, marks, etc aren't an issue.  My main concerns are a non-destroyed body (ie not chewed or missing limbs or ears!), as well as a working Brush n Grow mechanism.

Anyone??

I finally broke down and listed my MOC Argentina Skyflier, MOC Dutch Baby Cat and my 2 MOC baby pony outfits (elephant and lion).

Honestly, I may regret the baby pony, BUT...I don't collect MOC and they have just been literally shoved here and there for the last few years.  With no job prospects for a while, I also need the money for living expenses, so why not, right?

I have also listed some loose LPS sets as a lot and two lots of Little Pretty kitties and one puppy.

Take a look and see if there is anything of interest.  The auctions should be running through 8/17.

I'm pretty sure they are part of the 25th anniversary ponies, but I honestly am not sure which ones they are.  I know people also call them the face tattoo ponies and such, but I don't know if they had another set name.

Anyone have pics for me?  I have a ton of the 25th anniversary ponies I have to go through, and I need to get them sorted, but that was the one set I really wasn't sure about.

Thanks!

I asked in the corral, but they suggested I move this over here, so the "experts" have a chance to answer.

So after thinking about it, I think I'm willing to pass these girls along.  As much as I loved getting them, I just don't keep MOC ponies, because of lack of space.  I sold most of my G1s when space became an issue, and I really only kept my original ponies.  Any I bought when the internet opened the pony market...well, they were resold.  That would include these girls.  I know I have others, but these are the ones I have readily available for pics and questions.

Ideas for values would be great.  Thanks!

I'm going through the rest of what I have to sell for ponies, and I have a ton of the books from the G3 line.  I'm just not sure if they are really worth listing individually or if I would be better off listing as a lot on eBay or something similar.  I think they are cute, but I just can't keep everything after moving and losing storage space.

Do people collect those or want them?  Any ideas would be helpful!
