Title: Expensive pony find!!
Post by: Emberly on August 26, 2016, 10:23:14 AM
I have not bragged in ages  :blush: But when you've waited a lifetime for a find like this...

 This summer I have found a Wave Runner, a Sparkler, a long-haired Bowtie, a WW Skydancer and a FF Butterscotch in this one thrift store near me. (I have also found a Silky Slipper at another thrift store.)  This makes this summer the absolute best summer for me in probably a decade.  I have collected since around 2001. 3 of those went to my BFF's collection, because I already had them-- or I take them as upgrades and send her the one from my collection. Usually they are $0.50 to $2. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the thrift store yesterday and saw my little ponies in the dreaded behind-the-counter section... It's never good news to see anything you want in the expensive section!

One bag was marked 49.99 so I chalked it up to people thinking everything is worth a lot because bronies.  I asked to see the bags and tried to look at the prices but the guy informed me it was all 4 bags for $50. High priced but what I found in the bags had me shaking...  Lots of people find good stuff all the time but this is definitely the best I've ever found!!

Definitely expensive for a thrift, but still pretty good considering who was included! Big congrats, I'd love a find like that at a thrift shop!

Wow, for a second I thought the $%0 price tag was a mistake. I didn't think a thrift store would ever price toys that high. It still looks like you got an excellent deal though. Congrats on your new ponies.  ^.^

Excellent find!  A bit cheeky for the store to put such high prices on them, but it still worked in your favour.  Major congrats :frolic:
