**copied from my post on UK PonyCon forum**
I randomly got talking to a lady on Twitter back in September last year who happened to have some ponies for sale after finding her childhood collection in the loft. I obviously said I'd be very interested in buying them off her and asked her to send me a list of what she had. Well after that I never heard from her again and presumed she'd changed her mind. Then out of the blue in early December she got back in touch saying she had finally made a list and was I still interested. She emailed it over and OMG I could see why it had taken her so long to make the list, I hardly dare ask how much she wanted for everything but when she said £150 for the lot I virtually jumped in the car there and then and went to collect it all before she changed her mind because this is what I got....

I couldn't believe it!! Every playset is boxed and 100% complete including PARADISE ESTATE!!!!!!! Not to mention all the accessories, ponies including a boxed flutter pony! books, stickers, posters, back cards, games, fan club paperwork, full set of magazines, mug, quilt, pj case....I could keep going but WOW! Think this must be all my pony luck used up forever especially for the price!

WOW! That is an AMAZING haul. I'd say you have every luck-related deity barfing up rainbows in your honor that's so lucky. :P
(wow okay I have no idea where that comparison was going but I'm leaving it there).

Thankyou so much everyone for all your wonderful comments! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was to bring it all home!
When I went to collect it the lady had packaged it all up into boxes so I bundled it all in the car and headed home! I wish I'd taken a photo now of all the unopened brown boxes in my lounge. I didn't know where to start!
However it was almost 1am when I got home so I allowed myself to open one box and have a quick look through before forcing myself to go to bed. I didn't sleep all night so excited about all the boxes in the other room! I was back up at the crack of dawn to open everything up and it was better than any Christmas! There was so much more than what she had originally put in the list and everything was in great condition!
I think I've used all my pony luck up forever! :D
-
What an awesome, awesome lot! Major congrats! :)

Oh my goodness, I don't blame you!! I'd have been the same way. You know we're all over the moon for you but at the same time hoping that one day we'll all have a similar story to share. Really, though... that is an amazing brag and thanks again for sharing the awesomeness with us. :hug:
-
I am dying of pony-amazingness! I might be just a tad jealous, too ;)
-
I think I'm going to faint with excitement here, even my OH can't get over the awesomeness of this brag!!! :drunk:
That would be like all having all your childhood birthdays and Christmases together - I wouldn't have been able to sleep a wink either! I'm so thrilled for you hunny and I bet the ponies are glad to have found such a great new home. :yippee: :freak: :dance2:
