For regular ponies, I won't go over $15 unless it's an absolute must-have at a decent price.

Um... I'm cheap... I think I don't spend more than $5 on a pony, and that is G1's included.  I buy in lots generally where the price is still less than $5 per (and that's including shipping... needless to say, I dont buy many on ebay).  I've gotten a lot for free.  This year, 2012, I've spent $10.50 total on ponies... unless you count the carousel I bought using a TRU gift card...

The sky's the limit ;) Depends on the pony and what funding I have at the time. I generally don't pay more than they're worth, unless I realllly want them and they're very hard to find, but I've bought a 3-of-a-kind pony and paid a hefty sum for her and I'd do it again for another rare pony when I have the funding :)

The most I have spent on one pony is £60 and I have done that 3 times.
But that is not the same as what I would spend, but I usually can't afford more than that! :P

I am currently not buying any, I will look but I won't buy. I have about 4 years of saving for driving lessons to do, and at £5 pocketmoney a week- it'll take awhile! :/

The most I've spent has been $80, on Mimic. Close to that for another pony on it's way, and I knew I overpaid but I just wanted her, darn it! :p But for most ponies, I honestly prefer to stay around $5-$15.

Those most I've paid for a single pony was like 5.86, free shipping.

I think my folks would kill me (supposed to be saving for a car) if I dropped more than 10-12 bucks on a pony. That would be the highest at this point I would go for any pony. Luckily, I am really into collecting G4's and I can get the single packs for 5 bucks a piece. :D

I only have the craving for one more expensive pony, and it's a G1.. the only one I want. I believe she's called Dancing Butterflies or something of the sort. I am a huge sucker for yellow ponies. My G3 Pearly Pie and G4 Fluttershy are my two favorite ponies I own. <3

I just can't see spending more than 12 bucks max on a single pony when there's endless cute ones out there I could get for cheaper.  I only make 7.40 an hour and only work 4 days a week due to stress/psychological stuff so my paycheck is around 115-130 a week. I don't like to go over 20-30 bucks for my crazy spending money which varies from stuff I collect, to just random crap I see and want.

But then there's that tax return sitting in the bank.. imagine all the ponies I could buy with all of that!  :P

Hm... I haven't encountered my limit quite yet. I won't pay more than I think it's worth, which is relative.
The most I've paid is for my most recent purchase, the set with G4 Skywishes, which came to $45 after shipping.   :crazy:
I have a feeling that if G4 Minty is an exclusive I might end up having to pay more. I'm currently considering what if FS :muffin: Pony/Ditsy is a Comic con pony, what my limit is gonna be on her. I'll have to wait and see when/if the time comes. A lot is going to depend on market value and how much of a priority I feel she is at the time I think.

Right now the problem I'm facing is that I want to buy these G4 sets because of all the cute lil accessories... but that means so many duplicate ponies!  ARGH!

I hear you on this one! That's how I ended up with so many Sweetie Belles and Twilight Sparkles...
I want them but... I don't want to pay for a duplicate pony that'll just take up space since I'm not really in the mood for customizing. :(

I can't tell you what the most I WOULD spend on a pony is, because I've been pretty broke lol. But, the most I HAVE paid for a pony was $60.00 for a french white hair bowtie...who I resold the following year for $160.00 not bad. lol.

I'm in new collector phase and the most I've spent was $130 on a custom.
