Hello Ifra, very interesting pony.

I used to collect "Nirvana" ponies, but I stopped around the time Peru ponies started to appear in the collector's market, so I'm not an expert on them. However, I just wanted to comment that from your pictures you've shared the washer holding her tail together looks original. I also find interesting that, hair aside, she looks to me very similar to Spanish Posey.
Hopefully someone with more experience with Peruvian Ponies will get back to you.

PS Love your cat! (big fan of calicos ^_^)

I'm looking for a (possibly MIB or mint with box) 35th anniversary Moondancer.

For shipping purposes, please note I'm located in Switzerland (non-EU). I can pay by paypal.

If you have one for sale, please feel free to send me a message or post here. Thanks!

Hiya Taffeta, thanks.

PKW is also awesome for pricechecking rare Nirvana, although if you have a lot to sell you might want to post them in bits xD. 

What's PKW?

Hi! Thanks for all the invaluable advice. Much appreciated.

Hi, I used to collect MLPs, mostly G1 foreign variants and early G3s, but it's been over a decade since I last participated in the MLP community or actively collected ponies. My whole collection has been safely stored at someone else's place for a very long time. My plan is to slowly retrieve it and sell everything. I could use some help and advice from you on how to do that, since I haven't been active in a long time, and would like to ensure the deals are safe and fair for both the buyers and myself.

1) Most of the ponies I will try to sell are rare and valuable (foreign early G1s/Nirvanas). I don't currently have any recent feedback since I haven't traded or sold anything in such a long time. I still have my eBay account, but again, I've only bought, not sold (and it was non-MLP related stuff) in the past years, so it's not very useful. I'm very meticulous with descriptions and offer plenty of photos, plus I'll send by courier or registered mail. Other than that, is there anything else you'd recommend to help potential buyers feel comfortable buying from me?

2) Any tips on how to ship the ponies as safely as possible, other than wrapping them in bubblewrap and putting them in a box? Are there countries in particular where parcels are frequently damaged or opened for inspections?

3) Any advice on how to protect myself in the unfortunate case I'm faced with a dishonest buyer? I.e. if the person lies about not receiving the pony we agreed upon? Is paypal safe for sellers or will they automatically refund the buyer even if their claim is unfounded?

4) Is eBay safe for sellers?

5) Is there any interest in foreign G1s/Nirvanas (e.g. Greek, French, Peruvian, Brazilian, Italian hybrids, etc) nowadays? Has their value/prices dropped significantly? What about early G3 variants?

I'd be most grateful if you could share your advice with me or point out any concerns buyers might have. Retrieving my collection will be a lengthy and impractical process, so I only intend on going ahead only if it makes sense to try and sell it.

On a side note, to retrieve my MLParena password today I had to access an email address I no longer use (it was only for MLP stuff) and found some suspicious messages suggesting in these past years there have been a couple of hacking attempts and my email might have been used to create a Facebook account (I'm not on FB). If there has been any suspicious activity associated with my account or my MLP collection photos (they were usually watermarked), please let me know. I haven't been active for a very long time, so I hope no one tried to do any funny business using my data.

Thanks in advance!

Cool!

Thanks for the answers so far, everyone. I'm so glad there are other G3 variant lovers out there.

I've bookmarked this page and will update it periodically to keep you informed about when I may bring the ponies home and which ones are available. Please keep tuned!

I'm looking for Tink-a-tink-a-too II if you have her! (Diva pose, same as Sweetberry and Pinkie Pie II)

Hiya Stormness, I believe I have her. I'll make sure to bring her home in the first batch, hopefully with her accessories and backcard.

I love minty and sweetie belle variants. Hopefully I will have funds whenever you are selling .

Hi PinkieShyPony. I don't remember which Sweetie Belle variants I have but I know I have at least two. I have *a lot* of Minty variants, because she was one of my favourite pony - I probably have them all or nearly all. She's one of those ponies I collected also "minor" variants of, such as differences in eyes or symbol size and colour I hope you'll be able to adopt some.

I'd certainly be interested in your Minty variants.

Awesome. I've got so many. It would be great if they could find a good loving home. I'll make sure to bring them in the first batch.

I'm interested in any Cheerilee variants or factory errors.

I do have a few Cheerilee variants, but I don't remember which any more, I have to check. I also collected some factor errors. I don't remember how many I have, but I know for certain there are at least 3 unfinished ponies (no eye paint, no symbol, no hair, no magnet). Possibly other oddities too, but I'll have to check

This lovely Butterscotch made in Argentina is looking for a new home. She's part of the batch of ponies I acquired from Argentina back in the early 2000s.

She's clean and very nice, no scratches on her eyes, no pen marks, and her hair is soft and untrimmed.
Her only flaw is some minor symbol wear and her head is slightly lighter in colour than her body.

Hiya, I used to be a member here a long time ago. So many memories. And after so many years, what a surprise to see this forums is still up and active! Yay!

I've come back mostly to say hi everyone, as I stopped collecting MLPs many years ago, after some major changes in my life. The good news is that I still have my collection. The bad news is that I don't have it here, it's stored in boxes some 500 miles from here, and retrieving it will take time, effort and lots of patience.

Unfortunately, I'm very busy with life, so I can't promise to actively participate in the forums as I used to, but I'll be posting every now and then. I'm also considering to retrieve and put up for grabs some chunks of my collection, so keep tuned.

Take care!
