Just looking about for ponies on eBay, like I do when I'm bored. I found a pony that was a grail of mine for a long while (when I was originally collecting years ago!) and I set it to watch. My husband decided to try and snipe it for me as a Christmas gift :lovey:. I present to youuuuuuu~!

Night Glider (https://flic.kr/p/NE2mjJ) by incendiaryxwit (https://www.flickr.com/photos/icicle-hime/), on Flickr
Night Glider! She has some flaws (some eye issues, mainly on the NDS and a blue ink mark on her NDS.. doesn't stand right (though that might be from travel and the heat) and some yellowing hair..) but she is still so gorgeous and I am so grateful for her! Really reminds me how much I love the Posey pose.. since my Posey is quarantined to a case to keep her (and her hair!) as mint as possible.

I love Night Glider! Congrats, what a sweet gift!
-
Thank you! I loved seeing pictures of her.. but now seeing her in person... man the pictures never did her justice!
-
Nice!! Night Glider is one of my favorite g1s. There was even a Night Glider in an episode of G4!!
-
:cheer: :frolic: :faint:
-
She's a lovely girl! Congrats on getting her :)

Congrats! She's a lovely pony.

Congrats, such a pretty pony.

Thanks everyone :lovey:! I still can't believe I have her when I look on my shelf, hehe.
-
She's beautiful and that's so sweet of your hubby! Congrats!
-
She is beautiful. Such an awesome Christmas present! Congrats :cheer:

Congrats to you! She and all the TAFs are darlings. :)

Congrats on getting your grail, she's a stunning pony!

What is the average price for Night Glider, I have seen it vary.

Thank you everyone who I haven't thanked~. I need more TAFs now aaaaaaa.

I by all means am not like an expert, but glancing through sold listings/current listings on eBay when I found this one were from $60+. We certainly won her under that benchmark, lol.

ok thanks, but what makes a pony a "grail"? I see that sometimes people only call super expensive ponies grails, but then there are some that are around 60 dollars. What makes it a genuine "grail"?
-
IMO, it's subjective? To me, in my situation, $60 or more is really expensive to me. But I think it's also a rarity thing, there were only two live listings when I found her, this one that was at $18 (oh, how I wish that's what it had ended at :lol:) and another with a BIN for $120 or so. And I don't remember finding her a lot on eBay when I was originally collecting. Perhaps someone else has a better insight on the term? Just all I know, to me this is a pony that I had trouble find, at a price in my budget, so that's close enough as a 'grail' for me.

alrighty thanks, I don't have anything that would be considered a "grail" then (I never thought I did in the first place), my most expensive G1 is my near mint applejack that I got for a little over 10 dollars :blush: she may not be rare, but she is adorable :frolic:
I'm not sure if I'd pay 60 dollars for a G1 pony, but that also depends on the pony.
-
Yeah, there's very few ponies I'd spend that much on (or that my husband would let me, lol!). But I got Night Glider for $35 shipped, which was lower than the $120 BIN.. so I'm content with that!

That's actually a really good deal, if I saw a Night Glider for that much I might snatch it up, but at the same time, I am not a very serious collector for G1's.

That's awesome! Congrats on your grail!

What an exciting and gorgeous Christmas gift.

Icicle had a good answer for this, but I just wanted to add that grail status also isn't always about the collector value of a pony, but sometimes can even be a pony that you just never seem to come across, making it harder to find for you even if no one else seems to have trouble finding it lol
-
Congrats! She is one of my grails too :)
A grail is that pony that you really, really want, doesn't matter if the pony is Cotton Candy or Italian blue Lickety Split :)
