Title: Late brag on Craigslist and Value Village scores (PIC HEAVY!)
Post by: MercuryStar on January 19, 2012, 10:33:58 PM: I got these all some time late last year, can't remember exactly when. One group was a lot of ponies and accessories I found on Craigslist (with some surprises in it), and the other was a bunch of ponies I found one day at VV (I found so many I ended up leaving a few bags).

I hadn't cleaned any of the ponies up when I took photos, so please excuse the way they look.

On to the pictures!

First, the Craigslist goodies! (I won't be posting much about each photo, since there are so many pictures)

All three of those blue Big Brothers are Tux 'n Tails.

I nearly squealed when I saw Princess Sparkle, I was not expecting her at all! Nor was I expecting the other, tiny surprise in the picture. (interesting side note on the Dream Castle basket: I put one of those curling ribbons on mine when I was a kid.)

The tiny surprise I found in the bottom of the bin of pony goodies! (sorry for the crummy picture)

And now, the Value Village stuff.

Some fakies that were mixed in with the ponies, which is fine by me, I like fakies.

Hmmmm... almost tempted to add a reeeaaaally late brag of the ponies I got at a pony meet back in 2010! XD

Post by: SuniMoon on January 20, 2012, 12:35:54 AM: :shocked:

... Th-that many G1's... at Value Village?
D-dang. I only find about 6 or so G1s a year when I'm thrift shopping, that's insane.
And that Craigslist lot is amazing too... Super lucky!
And all those real nice ponies aside... I'm just jealous of Surprise and Raincurl. xD

Anyway, what an awesome haul! :'D
Title: Re: Late brag on Craigslist and Value Village scores (PIC HEAVY!)
Post by: MercuryStar on January 20, 2012, 01:06:38 AM: Thank you everyone, believe me I was just as amazed at finding all of them! I very rarely ever find G1s here, I guess people have just been sitting on them for a while. The only large haul I had prior to this was some my mom got from a friend who was closing her consignment shop.

And I don't know what it is about Tux 'n Tails, it is like I am some kind of magnet for him... I have five in total! :lookround:

Post by: Cool.Breeze on January 20, 2012, 07:10:03 AM: *jawdrop* you found all of this amazing stuff locally??! Man. our Craigslist and Kijiji never have much of anything good for pony stuff :C But, Value Village has always proven fruitful for most pony hunts, so I think I know how I'm killing my time and wallet tonight :D You have inspired me. Those puffy stickers are epic, such awesome condition. Massive congrats!!

Post by: kiwimlp on January 20, 2012, 12:37:44 PM: Stickers!!! *grabby hands* Wow, that is a fantastic lot of G1's to have picked up. They look like they have been really well looked after too. You are well on your way to a Tux army now with 5 of the handsome boys in your possession. Major cograts on a fantastic haul :frolic:

Yep, all locally! I hope you have luck in finding stuff... I landed the Craigslist lot after I saw a post here (well, the old location of Arena) talking about CL, and got curious to try checking again (I had never had any luck with local Craigslist in the past).

I can hardly believe I found one, too! I keep having to go look at the little container I keep him in, just to make sure it wasn't a dream! XD

Post by: PinkRosedust on January 21, 2012, 09:47:51 AM: Um....is anyone else wondering how the person selling that lot of ponies ended up with THREE TUX'S?! This is insane! And you're so lucky to have also gotten Some non-US things, too! That little twin is an amazing score! Congratulations!

Just wondering though...did you happen to leave G1s behind at VV? I know you said you had to put some bags back...who was in them? o.O
