Oh gosh! I have to think about this one............. I am sad to say that I do not think it was even $40.00 (for a lot of ponies) There are some out there that I do want really bad that are over $100.00.

As for one pony I would say under $20.00.

$100 - It was an impulse buy for a beautiful Ice Crystal at the 2008 MLP Fair.

I'm up to $50-55 as my highest. I actually enjoy the cheaper G1 ponies, but some of the G4 ponies are ridiculous and I've (so far) got all but one G4...:/ And I can't bring myself to pay the $40 + shipping for just ONE tiny pony. And I mean a brushable size...which...admittedly...there isn't alot of pony for your buck there. The only one I'm missing is Rainbow Flash, but she seems to cost an arm, a leg, and my first born child's retirement plan just to get into the states. U_U; It's hard to believe I could buy a mimic for the same price as two or Rainbow Flash...

I've gone up to 300 twice, for Rapunzel and Brazil pegasus Truly. I got free shipping on Punzie though, so Truly was a bit more expensive.

Post by: Rosencrantz on November 07, 2012, 09:27:45 AM
Well, I spent 89 euros on 26 ponies... but I think the most on any one pony is probably 60 dollars, for a euro. I don't *remember* this euro, but I know I've got a few rare ones so it's pretty likely. The most I remember paying is fifty for my Mimic.

I paid $40 for the Rainbow Dash/Flash 2 pack. For a single, I paid $28 for FS :muffin: Pony and at that time, I thought it was a lot.

Mine too!  She was like $260 from memory.  I blocked it, as I think I went a little insane that day.  :P  I don't think I'll be getting anywhere near that any time soon.

Different answer from everyone!  Some will say they will only pay $20 for a pony and others politely brag about purchasing a foreign pony that can be upwards of $1500.  :-p

Around $900. Right after splurging on what was my "most expensive" and is now the second most...
Most of my collection, mint condition with accessories have come out of lots and worked out to be $1-$5 each.... so when I bought my grail girl, I was happy, nauseous and shaky all at the same time!

$80 shipped for a French Medley, but then I sold her. I felt bad about spending so much! I've spent $60 on a MIB pony and thought it was a good deal, though.

a MIB Seapony I was after for years... I planned on buying her one day, planned on breaking the bank when the opportunity came along to actually get her, but it was still weird to actually go through with it. lol, I wasn't used to spending that much at once on something I didn't need. :D

Post by: lochnessmomster on November 07, 2012, 12:57:32 PM
I've spent at least $50 on a single pony on several occasions, and often more than $50.  Mostly I don't pay anywhere near that much, but it depends on the pony and what condition it's in.  I am neither endorsing nor opposing spending a lot on a pony... I think that is up to the individual collector.  My only recommendation is to be wise in your spending (i.e. don't spend your rent/mortgage on a pony).   >_<

:muffin: Pony/Ditzy       157
AJ   FS               115
Lily Blossom       55
Rainbow Flash    50
Sky Wishes         39
Star Swirl            38
Rarity FS              44     prices include shipping

This money was really my miles on my credit cards,I was not going to be able to travel this year for many reasons so I funded my collection with them.
It was nice to get them all asap :) but If you are a patient person you could spend less if you wait for items at a good price or for second hand items.
I did not want  second hand items on g4 at the begining but now is ok  since i'm expanding onto g3 ponies

About fifteen dollars for a very nice Pillow Talk. I'm pretty cheap and easy to please, and I actually usually like cheaper, more common ponies than the rarer ones.
Title: Re: What is the most you've spent on a pony?
Post by: momo_no_hime on November 07, 2012, 02:22:15 PM
$20 on a single one... I think? XD I may be overestimating. Generally a thrift store gal myself.  ;)

On a lot though, I lost my mind and spent $200 on one! There was a TON of stuff in it though, so I don't feel bad. :)

For a Hasbro pony, $50 for my MOC Raincurl.

I spend much more on customs though. The most was a $125 commission.

For a hasbro pony, £20. For a custom commission, £240. I can't wait to see her finished:)

For a single pony, about $50 - my MOC G2 Silver Swirl. She was my grail pony and I still can't believe the price I paid for her.
For a single commissioned custom, about $250 - which will most likely not be my most expensive custom  :blink:

$127 including shipping for a MIB Comic-Con :muffin: Pony, and she was worth every cent. I'm prepared to drop that much on a single pony again...I want to collect the g1 male ponies, and those Mountain Boys aren't cheap!

Around $17 for FS Rarity, RBD, and Fluttershy (separately, it would be amazing to get them all for that much). Walgreens ain't cheap, but it's less costly than eBay.

oh my god mikayla you are SO INSANE.

The most I've ever paid was $47 for a pony.  I'm sure I will end up eventually buying a more expensive one at some point though.  :P

Post by: banditpony on November 07, 2012, 04:58:49 PM
I can't say,
but I prefer 1 pony for $500 than 500 ponies for a $1 each ;)

With that said, most ponies in my G1 collection have been found in person for under $3. :) Others were gifts (free!). And a couple I got with thanks to the internet.

$26 for SS Crumpet; $36 for a complete Satin and Lace and Tux (combined.). :)

I've never spent more than $50 on a lot, including shipping - I'm happiest finding cheap ponies.

About $22 each I think, for my G3 Baby Ribbons & Bows and Baby Jingle Jangle. I know it doesn't seem like much compared to some but that was a pretty big decision for me as I've never spent that much on a pony before, and now it wasn't just one, but two! Totally worth it though, they both arrived MIB and are my favorite of my G3 babies  :lovey: Definitely the stars of my G3 collection.

Post by: Cherry_Sunset on November 07, 2012, 07:16:08 PM
Close to $50.00 for the Nightmare Moon set. I'm about to drop more for a :muffin: Pony, but after that, I think I'm done with expensive ponies for a bit  :redface: I need the money to spend on my family for Christmas more than I need ponies this very second!

$200 for my MOC French WIndy!   :yikes:

AND 100 years ago (seems like it) I paid $300 for a whole bunch of ponies.....like over 100! and most of them were re-saleable with just a clean up - so I think I got lots added to my collection and lots of my money back  Tee Hee!

$30 + shipping. It was for the Chuck E Cheese baby pony. Oddly enough, she will likely return through Ebay to a new home once I locate her - my neice might have her... lol.

$300 for 2 huge boxes of ponyville (my max bid was $500, lucky it didn't reach) no postage as i picked them up. then got the speeding fine in the mail last week, so make that $600. woopsie!!

Post by: Stormness_1 on November 08, 2012, 05:03:18 AM
The most I've probably paid is about $40-$50.. but that would have been retail for pony plus playset. On ebay, I just paid $18 for a Steamer, he's my fave BB, and I had him and sold him on, so I really had the urge to get him again before I beat myself with a stick from all the regret!  I've paid $100 for a lot of G1's with matchbox carousel horses, keypers and some vintage fakies as well as accessories and ponywear... my favourite purchase yet. There's nothing like diving into a tub of vintage ponies!

Just don't tell my hubby about Rosey Posey....lol

Post by: Iceglider on November 08, 2012, 05:46:20 AM
I paid a little under $50 for my Ice Crystal that was including shipping. That was about 8-10 years ago when he was going for $60-$75. It was a really great deal. I stopped my school (I was homeschooled) in the middle of the day to "snipe" him. It was a random weekday in February so no one was home to try to out bid me.  :P

Between my three sisters and I we bought all the mountain boys in the $30-$50 range. The only boy none of us ever got was Tux. I would have a hard time spending more than $30-$40 on one pony unless I knew it was an awesome deal. :)

I don't buy alot of ponies and I don't collect nirvanas or mib stuff that keeps the costs down for me.

The most I have spent on one pony is $75 for a MOC Bluebelle. The most I have spent on a group is about $160 for a set of G1 to G3 customs.

The most I've spent was about 17 dollars for Barnacle.  I plan to never spend any more than 30 dollars for a pony. (Although, one should never say never ;) )  I'm not hard core enough a collector, and my conscience would never let me rest.
