How did you find your super rare or OOAK nirvana?

[PonySeeker128]

I have seen a lot of OOAK nirvanas or ones that only have a few known to exist and I am interested to hear your story, how did you find them? Did the seller know they what they were? Etc..
I would love to see pictures too!

Ok I don't have an OOAK but I do have an OOTOAK (one of three of a kind) haha!
It's argie rainbow moondancer. Theres one MOC, one in fair condition and this one, my precious!! Another collector here offered her to me since she knew how nutso I am for argies and rainbow haired ones specifically
she also sold me baby rainbow md who is extremely rare as well!!
I am eternally grateful to Shelti for that! I know I would never have them otherwise!!

Mine was a shot in the dark It was in one of the sales the Delaneys were doing for another collector, and I saw this pony's picture on their site. The pic was small and very, very blurry. All I could really tell was that it was a Lickety-Split, her hair was magenta with some blonde in it, and her body was white. The site discribed her as an Argie too, but didn't say a price for her. When I emailed the Delaneys about her, they told me she was available and that she was $50. I'm so thankful I picked her up- I was short on cash at the time and almost didn't buy her This was almost a year ago by the way, before we knew for sure where she was from

And while she's not OOAK, I know she's rare This one was an ebay win. She used to belong to another collector here, Medleysong. I still don't know how much she's really worth, but she's one of my fav French ponies:

Those are great glacia! You're so lucky that shotin the dark turned out for the good you'll have to excuse me, I'm still a newbie to all of this stuff but who are the Delaneys? I have heard of the name before but still have yet to find out who they are..

They are a seller on eBay and also on here by the name of Jeanne now.
They sell stuff on the sales forum through their ecrater site and usually have REALLY good prices for ponies.

Thanks for the info flitter! I checked out the ecrater site, they have a lot of great stuff on there. Do they update and put new stuff in often?

[relcelestia]

The Delaneys are a Family of pony collectors from waaay back in THEEEE day...
they were famous for having a house FULL of rare ponies and a TON of MOCs

from what i remeber reading, they had a few "ponypaloozas" where collectors were invited to take a tour of their insane collection!!
kinda like the original pony-con/pony meet

I know they did start selling their collection off a few years back and then poped up recently to sell more. I bought both my Argie pegasus heart throbs from them ^_^

The Rainbowconnection one, right? It's updated once in a while, she'll usually make a thread on the sales forum whenever she adds new things. ^_^

Not much nirvana selection, but still awesome prices for what they DO have.

not THAT rare but a very curious find: i got my greek candle pony (sold) from the flea market here in austria for 1€ - the lady who sold her told me that she had a big box of ponies but they were sold 30 minutes ago to a girl, she only left greek candle and 2 baity G1 ponies! i think she thought that candle was a fakie because of the not marked hooves!
