So after watching a certain "sought after" sea pony MIB on ebay, I'm curious... how much do sea ponies MIB usually go for. I'm only assuming she's going for a little more then average because she's so sought after... like her counterpart White Cap. But how much do the run of the mills go for, like Wave Dancer and them go for?
And has anyone ever seen a MIB White Cap sell? how much did she fetch?
-
I can't believe that price o.O I know they're popular, but goodness! Usually they go for around $50-$75, at least that's what I've paid.
-
The first 3 Wave Dancer, Sea Winkle, & Sea Light would be much less MIB. That set is more common loose & not as sought after. I'd guess they would go between $50-100 MIB. The "year 3" set are a completely different story. I wouldn't be surprised to see a MIB from that set go anywhere from $250-600, maybe even higher depending on who's looking at buy at the time.
-
why is it, that all the MOC or MIB dreams I set, are going to cost me my first born?! haha first it was MOC quackers, now it's going to be MIB White Cap.... good thing all the others I have so far, have been really reasonable.
So I should look forward to seeing the one on ebay go past her $270 mark?
-
@Novavelle- Easily, because I'd be after her too and hell-bent on winning :silly: And I definitely wouldn't be the only one (I'm actually scared to see what an auction for her would end at :yikes: ). Why couldn't Hasbro have made more y3s so they'd be cheaper now?? :drunk:
-
well I was told that quackers is going to run me.... well let's just say, from what I've heard... $600ish.... so if I've got to drop that on white cap too, I'm in $1200 on two ponies?! CRAP!
speaking of... I now have... 2 baity white caps.... lol one day I'll find one with minimal cancer, but better to have two baity, then none at all right?!
-
Wow just found her online she's beautiful
-
You can add me to the group of vicious hunters! I am set on winning the next one who comes up. :)
-
great we can all fight over sea ponies :P
-
I actually think of the regular US G1s they are the toughest to get MIB...they come up much less often than others
And you can see the popularity they are gorgeous!

True. They are a good example of "harder to find, but less popular". Mib they show up even less often than the second set, yet they have lower value.
-
so is it just the second set? or is there like a random baby sea pony that fetches a lot too?
-
I feel for you guys... this is why I will never collect the Sea Ponies! :(

MOC TE Quackers...??? I don't think that price is right. The MOC TE's run anywhere from $50-$125 (Locket, Bright Eyes) with the exception of Mimic who's way up there. I don't think you should expect to pay more than $100 for a MOC Quackers honestly.
Anyway, as the year 3 Sea Ponies can easily run $125-$300 *loose* with the shells, I would definitely say this girl on ebay will soar past her current price.
-
How can anyone call upon the sea ponies at that price? ;.;

Baby sea ponies are much more reasonable, in the $5-$25 dollar range depending on if they have their floats (loose). Also, like it's been said, the year 2 adult sea ponies run about $15-$25 with their shells (loose). Its just the year 3 sea ponies that really get spendy.
-
Call upon the sea ponies!! ....for the new low price, 3 easy payments of $39.99!!
But wait, there's more!
...no there's not, I just wanted to say that. :lookround:
I don't really know anything about sea ponies, I've never even seen an MIB one! I'll take the dinky $5 ones, thanks. xD
-
Everytime I go to evilbay for a seapony, I am blown away at the prices and get so disheartened! Maybe when I stop thinking $20 for a pony is too expensive I'll actually have some lol
-
It's only the year 3s and Italians that are pricy when loose ;) The sea sparkle ones can break the $20 mark if they have their floats, but usually just barely. Year 2 shells are abour $10-15, but can be found for cheaper :awake:

I got the info from a MOC collector who informed me that she's more rare then mimic MOC... so I don't know, if one ever comes up, I'll pay whatever it costs to own her... I'll get STUPID lol to have her MOC. Quackers that is... we'll see about Whitecap :P
-
Recently I think I have seen more Mimics than Quackers on card lol....but the difference is going to be "sought after"....just because a pony is seen more doesnt mean its cheaper or the opposite just because a pony isnt up for sale all that often doesnt mean its going to be very very expensive in comparison to others that crop up with more regularity.
Yes Mimic is very hard to find but you see more Mimics on ebay than pearly babies, than mail order Sprinkles, even than TE Bright Eyes....but Mimic always goes for more - its simply because she is "more sought after" than a lot of other ponies [lol my grammar here is terrible but I know what I mean!] not that she is rarer than every other G1.
Quackers is always going to be the 2nd or 3rd most popular pony in that Set yes so she will be expensive but she isnt "worth" more than Mimic...although "worth" is always going to be what someone is willing to pay rather than an actual value. Yes, she will be high but she wont be 600$ high...she could easily get to $150 though or even $200 at a push but thats only if a couple of people are super keen I would think!
Once you get the chance to get her you pay what you want though definitely and dont be put off by what other people think - you want her? you get her! [hopefully!!!!]
-
I would never be able own a MOC. I would rip that thing open without even thinking twice!
-
I bought a white cap MIB, BIN on ebay. It was over $600. I bought most of my other MIB's (84 Sea's) for far less. But they were less sought after then. Hope this helps.
The first set of seaponies are worth far less and are fairly common MIB ($50-$100). :)
-
Geez and I was planning on bidding on her too... Sounds like it's gonna be some stiff competition.
-
So first set of seaponies it is :-) I would be happy to own just one ;-) I'm still over the moon with my MOC baby sea pony Sealight, she's gorgeous

if one ever comes up for sale, I will pay whatever it takes to get here, whether it be $150 or $600 so it doesn't matter :) but I was going off of the advice of someone who own's one... so we'll see.
Either way... I'll get her.... one day :P
on another note, I knew what you were saying as well, bad grammar or not :P

Id love to own a MOC locket does anyone know how much she would go for or if anyone is selling one she is my favorite :biggrin:
