Title: Are mlp g1 piggy banks valuable?
Post by: kingluke on November 01, 2019, 09:46:32 AM: Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to buy some g1's on kijiji and noticed that the seller also has a bow tie money bank for sale.
It looks kinda green, like on the wiki, but more green then sual maybe? Idk might be the picture.
My question is, did I stumble upon a rare item? Or is it just a regular one? Anyone got any info? Thanks.

Here is the link : https://www.facebook.com/mylittlevintagecarousel/Cheers,

Pretty much. Sure its rare to find them that nice but I couldn't justify spending that. Aren't they fairly small too?

I didn’t notice my sale was being asked about!!

I ended up selling this one for $25 because of discolouration
Not the vivid blue one $250 on eBay

Another discoloured one “tootsie” sold for around that amount
I also sold one of Blossom without the cap on the end for $20 a few months earlier

I don’t know if this update helps anyone
But thought I’d share
I guess I need to update my profile here too to include my online shops
