The Delaneys Final Dispersal Sale... Going...Going...Gone

[Delaneys]

Well, over 20 years after it started, we are finally closing down the pony room and selling our collection (I read with interest the speculations that it had been previously sold but it had not - we had trimmed the herd a few times but still had a large room in the house dedicated to ponies).

We have 60+ lots on ebay right now (seller = delaneys) and we have started a webstore at

http://emmasmlp.com

where we have fixed price buy it nows... nothing cheap or inexpensive but hey... they've been with us for years now.  Yes, Rapunzel is there, so are Scribbles and Dabble.  We'll be adding to both ebay and the other site over the next few months.

If you have any special requests, please let us know.  But be kind... we've been out of the trading game for a long time and have little idea of the value of items.  And the proceeds are going for a great cause too!

For those that know us, Emma (the tiny baby at Pony Palooza I and II) is now 15, was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma in March but is responding VERY well to chemotherapy and treatment and we have great hopes for a good outcome!  Think good thoughts for her.

And please let us know if you have a grail item you are looking for that you know we must have lurking on a shelf or in a closet somwhere 

We have an 8 foot long dresser full of accessories alone, all the UK comics, binders full of pony materials and tons and tons of "pony stuff" besides the ponies... we'll try and be responsive as we can but realize we're gone about 1 week a month at the hospital right now.  We'll do the best we can.... email us at  [email protected] .  If anyone is in the northern Virginia area and wants to visit the pony room one last time before we tear things apart too much, drop us a note!

Best to you all...

Hi there! Your ponies are so beautiful :3 do y'all have any G3s?

[Delaneys]

Sorry no... pretty much all G1 stuff.  We're old-time collectors   =o)

Sent you an important PM!

[Artemesia's Garden]

I'm sorry that your daughter is ill. Sending positive thoughts and good wishes.  I'm looking for UK comics 1 to 5 and holiday specials. Hope to hear from you. P.s. there are also some pesky accessories that i never seem to find!

[Juliepants]

Hello! What a privilege to have contact with you guys! I've heard about you all and your awesome collection!!!
I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter is ill, but pleased she is responding well to treatment. Wishing you all well *hugs*

I think I may buy something even though the postage will suck, just to say I've got something that belonged to the Delaneys!!!

I've sent you a message via your web form, about pony stuff and about other stuff, but just on here I'd like to say it's been a long time, and I'm sad you're selling. It's yet another of the 'old school' collectors I remember from when I first came online in 1997-8, and even though I never got to go to a Palooza, I remember the talk and the photos from it all the same

Wishing Emma all the best with her treatment

[Delaneys]

Does anyone remember fakie Princess Rinse and Spit?  lol... we just came across her when sorting out the room... too many good memories.  Who was it that won the fakie long drive contest (hitting fakie ponies with golf clubs) at the first Pony Palooza?  Boy... those were the days.

I'm sorry to hear of such famous collectors going out but I hope your daughter continues to respond to treatment and gets well. Do you have any pictures of your pony room? I would love to see some before you dismantle it as I do not live near VA. Good luck with sales! Maybe I will have to PM at some point

[nessy_86]

I've heard absolutely amazing things about your collection and I'm so sorry to hear about Emma. I'm wishing you all the best.
I think I've bought from you before (a few years ago when I was just starting collecting). I don't live too far from you but I would hate to impose on you and your collection.

[Delaneys]

We would be more than happy to have any collectors come by one last time... no imposition.  Seriously, we had folks from all over the world here for a week at a time in the early 2000's  =o).

So glad to "see" you again, but so sorry your daughter is battling cancer.  I will be thinking good thoughts for her!

Thanks so much for sharing pictures of your collection. It's absolutely amazing.  I'm very sorry your daughter is battling cancer. I hope all goes well and I'll pray for her.
