Does anyone still do trades?

[SweetNightmare]

Would love to trade, but I just never tried to look into people that would like to trade and live in Poland, and I agree it's usually faster and easier to just sell what you don't need and buy what you want.

I'm still happy to trade. Just that a lot of what I have duplicates of are common G1's that nobody needs...

I hear this but... I'm still missing some pretty common ponies like Gusty, Bubbles, Seashell, Flutterbye, Tickle, Starflower or Pinwheel and I'll gladly trade you a Bowtie, Windy or spare purple flutter for any of those! Heck, I've somehow even managed to avoid getting a Sundance in all my years of collecting. And I've even got a few spare Sweet Pops? TE for TE anyone? And as for common G3s...I have hardly any g3s, and you know. I can always find a home for such a cute fridge magnet. I guess my point is - trading for things I have taking up room (doubles) seems prefferable to me than shelling out cash. Ponies are getting pricey these days!

Maybe it would be fun if the Arena holds a large trade-only event and everyone posts what they have for trade on one thread.

I LOVE the idea of one giant for trade post, folks listing what they're hoping to move or find, like a big pony garage sale. It might just reinvigorate things! As to shipping costs, most ponies fit in flat rate mailers, don't they?

Same here...anything I'm willing to part with is the stuff that everyone already has.

Haha, this is basically why I haven't traded much either, in a nutshell! Most of what I had for sale (most of it's gone now!) is common, or not-mint; and as my wantlist shrinks, I can find fewer and fewer sellers who are willing to trade 20 not-mint Parasols for a Mountain Boy, you know? And don't even mention the G3s that everyone has piles of!

I feel like this Simpsons joke - "Aw, darn! I wanted peanuts, but all I have is this $20!"

Selling my ponies on eBay gave me a lot of extra pony cash, which I used for the ponies I needed! I like to hope I helped out some beginner collectors with their first ponies! But I'd love to do more trading in the future, I love the whole process of finding little extra goodies and candies for my partner! I've had a lot of fun doing swaps for that reason!

You guys make me want to go through my boxes and organize a trade list. I don't need common ponies right now really, but I figure I could always trade for baits...

I do think an actively trading trader list/post would be helpful.

How about those that have common pony armies make requests too if they're looking?


I'll restore or customize duplicates that I have for trading or sales. Don't mind changing symbols if someone wants a common pony schnazzed up for their army...

Yes please! Should we do that on this post or start another, and if so, should the other post be here in the corral section so more people see it?

I would love to do some US trades, when I go through my heard and find all the duplicates, that will take some time though.

I often send off the common ponies in RAOPK groups. I also have common ponies on my wishlist for that reason

That would be really cute, actually! MLP Arena Yard Sale! Or Swap Meet.
