I have a few second hand stores and flea markets that I frequent. Mostly because of the combination of a good bargain and items that have a story to tell. The past few years the G1:s have been scarce. There are a lot of G3, 3.5, 4 in the bins because of obvious reasons along with the occassional G2. Since I exclusively collect G1:s I have been a bit worried about the G1:s not existing anymore. That's how seldom I have seen them where I live.
Over the past few weeks I have been finding gold though.
First hunt - Swirly Whirly with a tad bit of scent left, Nurse with a working heart symbol and enviable hair quality to die for and a tattered old FF BlueBelle.

I almost fainted. I was shaking as soon as I saw the stamps underneath the hooves and when I got home I just GLARED at them. I can't believe it.
Funny thing about these ponies though: the hair is uncut, there are no pen marks, there are no symbol scuffs and there is only a tiny speck of chafing on the eye of one of them. Someone must have truly loved them. A bit sad and a bit heart warming at the same time.
