20+ ponies at Saver's. Almost all were G3!

It was my first time ever visiting, and I didn't know they had baskets. My most clear memory is running around the store, looking for my dad, with bags
and bags of ponies higher than my head in my arms. I must've dropped them like, 5 times.

Still my favorite thrift store to check! I've never not found any ponies at that Saver's, not once. I even got 2 G1's from there!

Ooh great topic! Loving hearing about everyone else's finds. My best was probably this small lot of vintage Barbie stuff:

Not as impressive as friends who've found Swirl Ponytails but I gasped out loud when I saw Skooter's little face in a plastic bag :D

Is this for dolls only? Mine are mostly pony related.

Tux n' Tails for $3 at a flea market.

SS Angel for $2 at a flea market (amongst many other cheap ponies)

MO Mommy Pony from a dealer for $30 from a toy dealer. I thought it was a steal.

A bag of mint ponies including TE Bright Eyes, Fizzy, and one of the glow n' show ponies (the unicorn) for only $5 from an antique mall.

A lot of about 30 mint ponies for $25 from a flea market seller. They were all MINT. 

An adult Keyper (the bug one) for $1 at the flea market (I thought she was pretty nifty).

That is amazing! She looks in decent shape too, considering her age. The clothes look in super shape from the photo as well.

Thank-you! I was so surprised. And she is. Her arms and faced are a little discoloured but she cost me less than $1! And the clothes are great too.

Bought an MP ringlet ash blonde peach skinned Aussie My Child Doll at a Second Hand store for $3. Sold for $300. I didn't even know it was a My Child Doll when I bought it. I looked it up when I got home and couldn't believe how much they go for. It was by far the best find I've ever found. :)

dollywise I consider my Moxie Teenz Tristen my best find - she was nude and wigless, but cost me less than a dollar. she was the nasty one who started all the dolly love, muhaha XD

ponywise my best finds are Mountan Boy Lightning and Macau Lemon Drop, for less than $2 each (found separately).

Oh! I also found a Barbie Pink Label Korean Princess in her box with all her parts, factory hairstyle, authenticity certificate, pretty much like new for $8! I thought that was pretty neat! :) She sits on my oriental table next to my caligraphy set!

Monster High: I've found about 6 Dolls so far mostly the Gloom Beach and Skull Shores but still I've found'm

My Little Pony:
I found a bag of G1 full of ponies, Earth, Unicorn Summer Wing and rare sea pony, and another time a bunch of Family ponies and i think there were 2 Daddy ponies in the mix of those. But my most recent is an Excellent Condition Lullaby nursery almost complete that has not yellowed for $6.

Tyco Quints:
Back in the early 2000's mom and I were at the thrift store shopping when she spotted a lady bringing in a donation of Quint items. My mom ask if she was donating them and she said yes and my mom asked if she could have them and the lady gave them to her aka ME. YEAY! the funny thing was i did a ebay search for quint stuff that previous night and didn't tell any, one so what are the odds of that?
