when you are suppose to be downsizing but keep buying.  Just one more pony.  Well since I bought one, might as well get that one too  :P

And when you're supposed to be on a pony break but well, that one was just in such nice condition it would've been silly not to snap her up!

You are not supposed to be buying any ponies. Nope. Definitely not. On a pony purchasing holiday. Absolutely. And you go on to eBay juuuuust to look at what is out there. Because looking can't harm anyone, right? And looking and ponies is fun, right? And that is really all you intended on doing, honest! And then your finger slips, just a little bit, and hits the "Buy It Now" button by mistake. Whoops.  :blush:

I've been slowly working on downsizing. Plushies are rather hard to sell.
And of course Enterplay has to release a new set of cards when I'm trying to save up for conventions next year.

When you see a listing for vintage ponies on Craigslist, click it, and it shows G3s. And then in the description it says " Vintage my little ponies. They are all marked Hasbro 2008."

Or when you see a custom listing on eBay with a before and after picture and see they made it out of a rare pony or a pony in great condition. Especially if it's one of your most wanted ponies >_<

When you do a head count, and somehow have wound up with four or more of the same pony.

The stores do it on purpose, I'm sure of it! A bit like those cat protection charity adverts - guilt-trip purchases for lonely ponies!

When you go to an online store to purchase one specific thing, but since you're there might as well add these other three things to the cart, since youre paying for shipping anyway.

I am a shopacholic, er that is my trouble. I just couldn't stop when I see something. -_-;

When you think thats the last pony left in the store, and having to grab it now then turn around and see more ponies.

When a relative asks if you collect ponies and you try not to get your hopes too high but can't help but imagine some G1s only to find out they were asking if you collect the ponies currently in stores.

Yes! Pony spa days rock  :biggrin:

When pony spa day results in hanging ponies out on the washing hoist to dry, thus preventing any actual laundry from happening.

Also, when pony spa day results in an invasion of the bathroom meaning nobody can have a shower or a bath.

And finally, when you go back to the stall you already know you've stripped of pony stuff just in case you find something that was somehow invisible the last time...

I love these!

When you get a pony in a lot and resell it because you bought the lot to get another pony, and then later decide you actually want the one you sold for your collection, too.

Or when visiting friends and relatives are creeped out by the headless toys drying out in your bathroom, or wonder why there is a toy sunning on the porch with parts covered in tape....

When you go to buy a pony that's been on your watchlist for weeks and she's gone.
I had a few weeks last summer when I swear it was like someone was ghosting my watchlist as literally four or five things in sequence I went to buy vanished one after one. STILL really upset about the Haunted Twyla doll because she was the prettiest one I'd ever seen - but I had to wait till I had money :/

On the flip, there's something that's been on my watchlist for literally years. I keep waiting for the day the seller realises it's overpriced and brings it down to the realistic range. Doesn't seem to be happening but I still haven't given up. Expecting that when it does come down, someone else will get it first ;)

When you find out that the one pony your grandma bought you and never allowed you to take home is more sought after than her setmates making her price double or even triple others from the same set. But you really want to replace it because you vividly remember that pony.
