How did you find your super rare or OOAK nirvana?

[cloud_weaver]

At a car boot sale a few years ago I found a variant Princess Sparkle with multi-coloured tinsle rather than silver. I'd like to know if she's ooak or not...

How neat!  ^-^  Pictures?

What was her symbols and hair color?
Did you check my Variant Princess Reference site?

OK, I checked my website and yours has been the only one that has come to light I believe,  that is the one with no Tail?

So far my Confetti is unique, she was a lucky BIN x

I think I just have to be patient to find my first SA-Pony, I took a look on the site, but only a few G3 ponies and some fakies out there.

Talk about pony luck! You guys have the best pony luck ever I am pretty sure. You all have such beautiful ponies, thank you for sharing your stories and pictures with me

Mine is a Spanish Flutter pony Forget-Me-Not. I spotted her in a lot on a dutch auction site. The picture wasn't very clear, but I could tell her hair was pink. Luckily I bought the lot and she did turned out to be a Spanish pony! The reason why her hair is pink is still a mystery! I bought the lot from a non-collector, so I'm 90% sure her hair color is legit.

My french lilac haired windy was auctioned on ebay.fr in a lot with french moondancer. My max. was €300 and the auction went for €225-ish. I was super lucky that I got TWO frenchies in one lot for a bargain!

And lastly, IT sunstone. I was very lucky to find this special lady in a secondhand store in my area. She was FILLED with rust, so I had to take her head off and give her a clean inside.

I thought I'd replied to this already, but apprently not!  I have two that are unique so far, and one that is one of two (they could be the same, since we haven't tracked the other down, but I'm assuming she's not).

This girl was just a normal ebay win. I think I paid around £35 for her, which I think was a bargain!

This girl was another ebay win, but with a slightly longer story! First time she was on ebay, I really wanted her, but once she got past a certain point, I couldn't justify it anymore. and I bid her up  pretty high! However, the pony was one by a regular reseller, who put her back up for sale again almost immediately. I bid on her again, and  one her for a fraction of the price!

And then there is this girl. Yet another ebay win, but by sheer luck. As it happened, I'd recently been looking at Taffeta's page about the variant best friend babies. On a whim I searched the 1990-now catagory on ebay (a rare occassion for me), and spotted what looked like a variant baby. I shared with a couple of friends for opinions, and ended up winning her for about $23! She has cut hair, but is awesome

wow

yum-yum ~ that was such good spotting to see pink hair forget-me-knot in that lot, i would have easily over looked her.

ladyg ~ OMG i remember the whole thing with the woosie variant on ebay

I love this thread, all such pretty ponies! I don't think I have something OOAK or super rare to add here but I totally love my peruvian baby bow-tie (baby glory pose). She isn't mint, she's kinda sad, but she's my precious :-) I've been wanting her for ever and I could get her for a good price because of her condition.

I'm loving all these stories! I'd love some of the more rare Nirvanas, only stories I have are of my Italian Cherries Jubilee who I bought off eBay in a lot of what i thought were dead common ponies (the only reason I bid on them was because the auction was literally just up the road from me) and one of my Italian Peachies who I bought for 20p on eBay. She's had a killer haircut but I think it makes her look unique!

Well I commented before on OOAKs but best super rare best finds ever I would have to say the takara pinky and greek baby glory.

I think Pinky was my best deal ever. My friend in Japan found her for me for $35 plus shipping.

although i did get a greek baby glory MIP when I was $14 for $75 which I thought was sooo much back then haha. She was from a greek seller who was selling left over stock and he sent me the pictures and I just fell in love. I gathered up every cent I had and sent the money in cash.. Probably the dumbest thing I could have done as a teenager but it worked because she came in the mail about a month later.
