Title: How do you guys think I did?
Post by: Whoa1234 on March 10, 2012, 12:34:16 PM
I'm feeling a little ripped off ( seller wanted $5 for rusty eyed Sundance alone).
But whatever, that's how flea markets go.
I paid $31 bucks for these gals, too much?
I love G1's and I love the rush I get finding them.
But, I feel like this time I jumped the gun. :/
I'm trying not to have buyers remorse.

Well, if you do the math, you got 11 ponies for $2.80 apeice.  They look to be in fairly good condition and you didn't have to pay shipping.  I think it was a pretty good deal.  I would have bought them too, even though I already own 2 and I don't like bbe babies.

You did great! If you'd have bought them individually from like ebay in decent shape I think you would have spent over $60. Does the orange sparkle pony, Sunspot, have a tiny symbol on her face?

No buyers remorse, you paid a fair price for some really sweet ponies!  Think about the happy life they're going to have with you, so you did a good thing by "rescuing" them.  Congrats, they look lovely!!

I would have bought them too, I have a hard time passing up G1s  :)

I think you did ok considering they all look nice, and a price break down per pony wasn't too much at all.

I do feel some of the "dealers" at markets do try to rip people off unfortunately, but, often they have no idea what they are looking at as they do little to no research, so they will try to sell a fakie as the real deal, or sell a real mlp that they think is an inflated price but that particular pony is worth alot more to a collector.

If they are asking $5 for mimic for example, that to them was probably quiet pricey for a plastic pony, to us we know she is worth alot more than that. If they didn't do the research I don't feel bad for them as they will try to rip others off wherever possible.

Good job I say on your lot :)

You made out like a bandit! A MO birthflower pony? Yep good price! You're lucky you found as many as you did! Huge congrats and they all look marvellous!

Thank you all :3
You're all so wonderful!
I'm feeling a lot better now and have taken the ponies out of "the bag of shame" and onto my display case with my other ponies.

That is an awesome lot of ponies!  You did really really well!  Man, I'd have snatched them in a heartbeat at that price!  Congratulations!

I probably would have paid twice that without batting an eyelash, especially since there were no shipping fees.

Post by: Shlugh on March 12, 2012, 02:41:08 AM
I've seen the MO birthflower regularly sell for $15-$20 alone, so I think you got a really good deal.

Congrats on your new ponies.
