Title: ohhhhhh dear...
Post by: kmlv23 on January 31, 2012, 04:45:25 PM
Sooo....I just won a shopgoodwill auction for the first time...not only will this be the most I've ever spent on ponies (I was honestly expecting to be outbid!) I'm nervous about paying for it. A little short on cash these days and will have to wait until Friday to pay for it....but yay? haha. Tell me if you see anything you want and I'd be happy to sell it to you! Or help me ID it all....

Congrats on your ponies. If you need a bit of help on identifying ponies I would suggest using StrawberryReef. I had another member introduce me to the site when I asked for an ID one time and I have been using it every since then~

No sadly I don't. My credit is kind of in the toilet. ^_^" No company will have me at this point.

Photo 1 - Styling Rarity and Pinkie Pie
Photo 2 - Styling G3.5 Pinkie Pie
Photo 3 - Bubblecup, Tulip Twinkle, Daisyjo, Partycake, Retro Minty, Candy Apple, Beachcomber, Retro Blossom, Rainbow Flash and Retro Snuzzle
Photo 4 - Core Seven Pinkie Pie and Cheerilee
Photo 5 - Denim Blue, Hidden Treasures, Blue Mist, Rarity, Silver Lining, Baby Romperooni (x2), various McDonalds Ponies and Ponyville Rainbow Dash and Bunches-o-Fun.

I can see Serendipity and Sapphire Shores in the main photo, as well as Ponyville Desert Rose.  I know there are others there too, but they're hidden underneath others!  Still, that's a start for you. :)

Just looked through the pictures. I think that Minty is the 25th anniversary one. :)


Also so is the Blossom and Snuzzle!

I remember seeing that lot! I'm glad to see other people here using it, even if it means there's even less a chance I'll win again xD

Most of my G3s are from shopgoodwill lots, I love them. I might be interested in some of them but I can't really say for sure! All I can say is it's usually worth it imo, they're usually all at least restorable and G3s are usually worth around $2-5 anyways so the amount of ponies you get for what you win it for is usually pretty okay.

Wait...isn't it necessary to have a credit card to pay on there? They don't use paypal, right? o.O

Anyway, congrats on the lot! I hope they told you how much shipping would be before you bid (never used it so I'm not sure). With 3 styling ponies I don't think it will be the cheapest. >.< But it will be fun to clean up all those lovelies!

My debit card can be used as a credit. The shipping is what's killing me, I won the whole lot for $5. It's totaling to just over $21. I am so screwed.

That's one reason I stayed away from that lot - the shipping.

I see Starswirl there too.

Goodwill has awful shipping costs -  I bought one Breyer from there  a few years ago, and they charged me $10 to ship.

That does like a great lot of G3s  though. I have all the styling ponies but PP (well, I do have the 3.5 version).

Yup, shopgoodwill has killed me on shipping prices too, before - I bought a lot of g1s from them once and it cost something like $18 to ship, IIRC.  Good starting bids and insane shipping prices.

But it looks like you got a nice lot of g1s so it all evens out.  Congrats!  :)

I can't help feel like they skim a lot off the top with those high rates and the "handling fees". They need to start using flat rate postal boxes or something.

Other than that, great lot!

I think I'm going to pull out...unless someone here wants it. They can log into my account and have it for themselves....if anyone's interested.

That's a great lot but I agree shipping is killer >.<

Thats a nice lot!  Unfortunately I'm in the wrong country to buy it  (and I cant imagine what the shipping would be to send it all to me on top of that high shipping price goodwill are already charging :crazy:  )

Congrats! I keep almost bidding on one of those auctions, just for the fun grab bag factor, but then backing down at the last minute. Perhaps one day. Hope you get some great finds!

Nice lot!
 I havent checked out shopgoodwill in a long time just because of the high shipping and handling fees.
Sounds like they havent changed.

Great haul, congrats~


I never knew that goodwill had a website like this. Seems cool- I live next to a preschool, so I'm sure they'd be happy to take fakies and what not as donations. Seems like the shipping might be a pain, though  :huh:
