Pony Brag Arena / Decent flea market G1 haul.
« on: August 04, 2018, 05:54:14 PM »
Took a trip over to Canton, TX today to check out the First Monday Trade Days (AKA "World's largest flea market") this is a once a month event that can bring together up to 100k people to the town in a single weekend. 

I spent about seven hours on the grounds and ended up with this modest haul.  Not too bad, but definitely a lot of "leg work" for what I did find as the entire complex is about 100 acres total space.

Pics are as I found them and none had been cleaned up as of yet.  Overall only cost me about $15 to bag all of them.  If you're ever in the area I recommend checking it out if only to say you've been.

How did I do?  Note that I'm not a collector myself, just a hunter for my wife.

Introductions / Say hello to the newbie

Hello all.  I'm not a collector myself, but I have become quite the pony "hunter" for my wifey Wyndeboo. 

My job requires a lot of travel and I've taken to digging through all sorts of thrift stores, flea markets, swap meets, estate sales, etc. wherever I go in search of ponies and other toys from my youth.  I've racked up quite the bounty during my travels and continue to enjoy the hunt.

I'm trying to better understand the hobby, what to look for, what to avoid, etc.  Its not always practical or possible to access My Little Wiki to ID ponies when I do find them so hopefully being around here will help me hone my "pony senses".

I'm also interested in doing a bit of chemistry on some baits to see what processes are best to restore pieces that aren't in the best of shape.
