Sorry if this is a silly question but it's one set of ponies I would like to complete and I'm having trouble finding them.
Also I was wondering what a reasonable price would be to pay for them? What do they usually go for?
-
No such thing as a silly question on here I dont think so anyway!
Personally I think they are one of the easier sets to track down to be honest....mainly as I think they just dont seem to be all that popular a set...in nice condition most of them will be around the below prices...
Banana Surprise - $4 [max - bless her little socks she is super dooper unpopular and you sometimes see her sell as low as a couple of $]
Coco Berry - $7-8 [if her hair is still nice and pink - she is probably the most popular of the set - dont we just love Unicorns!]
Crunch Berry - $5-6
Peppermint Crunch - $5-6
Sherbet - $5-6
Swirly Whirly - $6-7
At least thats what I would pay for them in nice condition and thats what recent prices on ebay seem to be around.
-
Thanks for the price check. Most of the ones I see on ebay are a lot higher than that.
-
Wow you are right. I didn't think they were worth that much either but I just checked ebay and many recently ended auctions are at $8-15. For the regular common Sundae best ponies.
Have they gone up in popularity lately?
-
Banana Surprise - $4 [max - bless her little socks she is super dooper unpopular and you sometimes see her sell as low as a couple of $]
I´ve totally noticed this too! Collectors here really don't like her, which I don't get at all since I LOVE her and think she is adorable, on top of loving bananas :P
But yeah, no idea why they are so high on Ebay, my best suggestion is, just try to find them here on the arena :)
-
What you have to factor in on ebay are a couple of things...
1) Some of the ponies on ebay which have recently ended in this set on ebay have had their accessories with them - for some of this set 'a ribbon, a comb and a barrette' are combined "worth more" than the pony - so some of the auctions are high because of this
2) There are auctions for each and every one of the Sundae Best ponies in the last 3 to 4 weeks which have finished without bids at all and starting prices at the above averages...
Therefore...with ebay you are working with an average - some will go high, some will go low and occasionally some will hit the average price which is pretty much what a PC does...give you what we all think they "should be" [not necessarily what the most recent ebay auction may have gone for lol!!]
Oh and I do agree Sherbets recent prices on ebay have been a little crazy...I thought she was as unpopular as Banana Surprise until recently! Obviously not...
-
They're fairly common... I was able to complete my set last year through trades and swaps. :) You might have to outright buy Swirly Whirly, but the others come up for trade fairly regularly if you keep an eye out.
Best of luck on your pony hunt!
-
Thanks. And what about the sweetberry ponies? I think that's their name but I've forgotten their names. I know Raspberry Jam is rather easy to find but not sure about the others.
-
I've got an extra banana surprise... she'd like a new home... lol
I think Sweet Berry ponies run a bit more than Sundae Best. I've traded for the majority of mine so I don't know a good pc for any.
cranberry muffins
blueberry baskets
boysenberry pie
cherry treats
strawberry surprise
raspberry jam
-
Out of the Sweet Berry ponies, Blueberry Baskets is the most expensive - she's usually between $20 and $30. The rest are around the $8 - $12 mark.
For me I always seem to end up with Cranberry Muffins. At one point I had like 4 or 5 of her!
-
hmmm....
this lot are certainly more sought after, a little harder to find and more expensive - I certainly found a couple of them really tough to track down...I do adore Cranberry Muffins
Cranberry Muffins - $7-8
Blueberry Baskets - $15-20
Boysenberry Pie - $8-10
Cherry Treats - $6-7 [mind you a white one because I dont believe one exists you may hit triple figures lol!!!!]
Strawberry Surprise - $12-14
Raspberry Jam - $6-7
-
How can anyone have 4-5 pcs of Cranberry Muffins?! :D I haven't got a single one! And she's one of my most wanted ponies. :D
-
I sold 2 not long ago in nz on tm for $18 together (its was the banana one and swirly whirly), they pop up quite a bit here so if you arent dying to get them you could find them pretty easily on tm : )
-
XD I got my Raspberry Jam for just a few dollars, but she has a big brown spot on her nose. I don't mind it though, and she smells amazing!
-
I have a Raspberry Jam too! If interested...
-
Ashes....how lucky you are! Cranberry Muffins has been eluding me forever! lol
-
What? NO white Cherry Treats? Any excuse to throw in some pic spam!

This lady looks pretty white to me! lol Although she did come with a forlock cut and you can kinda tell... so maybe she's hard to find very minty...
-
*makes with the grabby hands at white cherry treats* she is GORGEOUS mlp4me! wow!
the one i keep running into is blueberry baskets ... followed by lil miss boysenberry pie ... i think i'm still sitting on a few blueberries (lol that sounds wrong)
-
That is one white Cherry Treats usually the ones I see are discoloured lol.
I've only seen them a few times. I hope to get them all for my collection. ^_^ Just got a PM about Crunch Berry
-
Oh, I was just about to ask about the discolouration. I found on on eBay that was yellow. Not yellow-ish, just full out YELLOW. XD Is it normal for her to be that yellow?...
She's listed under "MY Little PONY - CHERRY TREATS with Saddle G1 Vintage 1984".. :ninja:
-
Cherry Treats is very often yellowish, yellow or brwn. It is very difficult to find her white.
*drools over mlp4me's Cherry Treats* Aw, she' so pretty! I'm still holding out for a white one of her, so I also don't have her. Or Raspberry Jam. I've has 2 Blueberry Baskets, though. :)
-
Oh, I see. I can't imagine she'd be too hard to sunfade if she's just a tiny bit yellowed. :)
-
Cat,
You really think Cranberry Muffins is worth that little? I thought her price was pretty even or above Blueberry Baskets? I think you reversed the price for Cranberry Muffin and Strawberry Surprise?
Looks like Bluerose has omitted Cranberry Muffins from the price guide: http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/bluerose9978/PRICE/ (http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/bluerose9978/PRICE/)
I have PM-ed several of you. I have 3 Cranberry Muffins I am selling/trading.
ETA:
I just did a completed auction search on evilbay and looks like the price has really gone down on Cranberry Muffins, maybe I should hang on to them until the price goes back up- I know my acquisition cost was more...
$6-9 (http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=My%20little%20pony%20Cranberry&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283)?
-
Oh wow the price has gone down. I'll look over the ponies in the pm again shortly. Deciding which ones I want to buy is going to be the issue. :lol:
-
Chip...I know what you mean...I remember spending close to the $16ish mark when I was looking for her 3 or 4 years ago...I dont quite understand the price drop if I am honest maybe she is just currently a little over looked?...I think there was even one that didnt sell on ebay uk recently and her starting price was around £5. Not only that the one at $9 was from a certain seller we all know whose ponies always end higher than everyone else and the one at $8 had her accessories hence why I rounded down her average price!!!
I pc from recent auctions and prices on here...as you know prices change so dramatically that just because in 09 she was about $20 doesnt mean she is going for the same 3 years later....although with the pattern of pony prices hopefully she ll shoot back up in value in a year or so!!! You never know I guess.
@mlp4me....seriously!!!!!!! that is not only the whitest Cherry I have seen...it may be the only white Cherry I have seen...I am in awe [its like a rare white variant...] and would trade my puppy for one that white he he he....
-
While we're on the topic of food related ponies :frolic: I imagine the other ones (candy cane ones) can go quite high? :)
-
I think even the candycane ones are down low now too.... I know Mintdreams & the yellow one can sometimes get pretty high.
Are you trying to find out about all the food related ones, because here are a few I can think of right now...
Munchy MO Lil Cupcake and her sister Sweetcake? never seem to lose their value!
How about the more common ones: Lickety split, AJ, Apple Delight family, SSTwist, Yum Yum- I'm sure I am forgetting a few!
-
It seems that sweet berry ponies are very prone to yellowing. Curiosity is getting to this cat... I think it's time to find out if any come non-yellowed... returns to corral to start a new thread...
-
Yes I am. Mainly because I love food related ponies :D
-
Oh, I see. I can't imagine she'd be too hard to sunfade if she's just a tiny bit yellowed. :)
Therein lies the problem! I think she's one of few white ponies who does not sunfade properly. She burns and turns brown! (If I'm mistaking her for some other pony, someone please correct me! I think Starshine has this problem too..?)
I guess I'm lucky...I've come across 3 Cherry Treats (2 still in my possession and the one now residing with mlp4me) and all have been white! She's so darn pretty.
Also, I do recall that for a while Cranberry Muffins price was kinda high...I thought Raspberry Jam was going up, too, then suddenly she was only being sold for a few dollars. Sometimes I just don't know how these values work lol.

Yeppers, no sunfading for Cherry Treats! Probably why so many are discolored. Keep her in a dark box...
And she's LOVING her new home-thank you :) :biggrin: .
-
Oh, I see. I can't imagine she'd be too hard to sunfade if she's just a tiny bit yellowed. :)
As said before, I´d be EXTREMELY sceptical of sunfading any scented pony (+ Starshine for some reason) as they tend to burn! so yeah, no sunfading for these girls ^^

"Do you think those are flammable?"
-My dad

Here's my Cherry Treat, and she's really white. Head's a little whiter than body, but not disturbingly much. Her only flaw is, that her ear tips have been re-sculpted.
