It is really hard for me even to find traces of g1 ponies where I live. Not even at garage sales or thrift shops. At work a few of the other nurses are catching on that I like MLP and a few have said "oh I have a bunch in my attic" and I'm like BRING THEM TO ME!!! and they just don't do it. I have told them I would buy them...but nope, they haven't brought them yet. One gal even told me she has all her original mlp in perfect condition including Dream Castle with all the accessories....aghhhh
It sounds like that lady had been saving them a long time, maybe waiting for the opportunity to finally give them to a little grand daughter to play with? I wouldn't give up my childhood ponies for 10x what they are worth and the whole reason I collect is because they remind me of childhood, so don't feel bad for those ponies getting trashed, they are just staying in their family. You know how money cant replace sentimental items...So I think that lady probably did want them more than you Don't know if any of that makes you feel better
Never tell people what they are worth.. When they are not collectors.When I go to stores and talk to people in adds. I never tell them I am a collector. I never tell them what they are worth. I just play stupid. Lol!

I never tell them I am a collector. I never tell them what they are worth. I just play stupid. Lol! I nodded vigorously while reading this. I went to a car boot sale last summer and found a near mint Fiery the Dragon and a cute Pound Puppy in a plastic container at one seller's stall. I casually held them up and asked "How much for these?" Didn't breathe a word about their rarity or worth. I wound up getting them for 10p each, and I don't feel the least bit guilty.
