Pony Corral / Re: Do you feel uneasy when you buy ponies?
« on: June 07, 2014, 02:32:17 AM »
(I don't know if this belongs to WYP, if so, please move)
Even if I go to flea markets far away from my home, I feel nervous when there are too much people who can see I'm buying a toy... especially my parents (I'm hiding the fact that I collect toys,my parents wouldn't be happy about that). The last day I was laughed off by two little girls (around 8 or 9) when I was buying a Zelf - and it even wasn't for me! It was for my cousin-niece who came from the hospital after an operation. Why should I get laughed off because I'm buying a toy for her?!

Do you feel the same? Please share your experiences.

Yes I feel ashamed. That's why I just blurt out 'I collect them!' to sellers lol.
So well... I came out... no use to feel ashamed anymore :')

I work with kids, and wear my MLP sweater/shirts then (finally get a excuse to wear them, since I can't wear them at office) and get a lot of remarks from children like giggles, being made fun of, question like: 'do you like my little pony'?  And I tell them immediately that I collect them and think they are awesome.

See, I work with kids to teach them respect for diversity.
This is a lesson. These kids never met an adult wich likes 'kids' stuff (stuff they even vieuw as immature). And I teach them this way that this excists. And you don't have to be ashamed of it. And it works.

Never allow yourself to be ashamed.
My best friend thinks it's ridicoulous that I collect MLP. Well hey, atleast I'm not doing drugs!

Your not hurting anybody with your hobby.
Old men can play with trains, make doll houses and play with miniature airplanes and cars and such... Men can play games. Women seem to have to be 'matture' and only care about kids and a clean house or something...
(and offcourse men can not collect ponies). Just prejudices you have to fight against.
Every time you 'come out' of your collecting, widens someones horizon, and vieuw on the world :)

You're a world-changer! woohoo!!  :cheer: (well... in a small way... but well... even a baby-step is a step in the right direction)
Very true Rainfeather!!!!!!!!! x

My friend Noasar used to display hers in her sliding door wardrobe, it looked fab and a great way to store/kind of display your collection.  I'm moving next week (more bedrooms/bigger house but my own room will be smaller than my existing one) so I'm going to be looking for storage and display inspiration myself too!  Along with continuing to sell some along the way x

Hey PP & SB!!!  I know right?  Who knew child rearing would take up so much time?! Hahaha!  I'm selling some of my ponies!  I have far too many and they're not getting appreciated like they should be so I'm cutting down so I can en joy what I keep :-)

Looking at that pic actually, the picture on mine is bigger, it kind of fills that whole flap more.  It's a lovely bag, if I don't get any interest I'll be happy to keep it I suppose :-) xxxx

Yes! That one, thank you!  X

I suppose the answer is right there though hey?!  I suppose I'm asking UK people really, It wouldn't make any kind of financial sense for someone in the USA to buy this from me :-) x

Price Check Archives / PC Please! - Unmentionable Pony WeLoveFine Bag! x
« on: February 23, 2014, 02:32:23 PM »
I'm on maternity leave at the mo and in dire need of boosting my income for the next few months!  So I'm selling off a lot of my ponies and am considering selling my D**** bag from WeLoveFine.  I bought it a while ago, considered using it as a changing bag but then bought a Pink Lining one too!  I do love it, but if it might fetch a good price I'd consider selling it.  So any ideas much appreciated xxxx

I love the size :-)  I have the regular pinkie in that size but I just love the Chinese one, just awesome.  There's a few on eBay but some carry import charges and have gone out of my price range :-(  Hope someone comes along to save the day! xxxx

I believe she is on sale in Canada now for $17 - what a bargain!  If anyone is able to help I'd be most grateful.  Loads of G1, G3 and a few G4 left for trading or will just buy xxx

Pony Corral / Re: OMG!Fashion style applejack and daisy dreams! :D
« on: February 15, 2014, 12:39:30 PM »
Ohhhhhhh I just don't know what to do!!!!!  I just got my original FS Applejack out for photographing to sell, but reading this thread it scares me that this re-release isn't happening - and if so I know I'll be gutted if I've sold her and that turns out to be the case.  The FS's are the only G4s I'm really hell bent on collecting every one of - I even won 'she who shall not be named' at UK Ponycon in 2012 so it's a pretty complete collection right now.  What do you think I should do??? x

As above really, I adore this Pinkie and would love it if someone could pick one up at all for me! I'm selling lots of G1s, G3s and G4s so if you're looking for anything in particular let me know xxx

The Dollhouse / Monster High MH backcards and box art for freeee x
« on: January 12, 2014, 09:21:56 PM »
Hey all,

I'm having a clearout and am letting go of all my MH backcards and box art that I've collected along the way.  I tried posting on the MH Arena but couldn't for some reason!  So if anyone wants them and just pay for shipping (I'm UK based) then just give me a shout.  I'd rather another collector had them that put them all in the recycling bin xxx
