Title: Show your biggest MLP bargain so far !
Post by: Sonata on June 09, 2012, 02:41:46 AM: I'll start:

I think my biggest bargain yet was a bundle of fakies that came with G3 Lily Lightly, G3 Easter Cheerilee (which is for sale now), G3 Heart Bright (sold) and G1 Blue Ember. It was a bargain because I complained about the smoke smell (which is pretty much gone by now yay !) and the seller refunded me. So, I got all that for nothing ! Also, Blue Ember alone was worth what I had payed for the whole bundle, so YAY ! I also fell in love with Lily Lightly and ended up keeping her :)

I also got G3.5 TAF Scootaloo for 99p, but that doesn't count xD those are worth nothing nowadays anyway, so I don't think it was a bargain.

Which was YOUR biggest bargain ? :what:

Post by: DazzleKitty on June 09, 2012, 03:05:19 AM: Tux N' Tails for like.....$1 at a flea market. I nearly peed myself when I found him!

SS Angel for $2 at a flea market was a pretty great deal too.

The purple G1 Flower Fantasy Pony (forgot her name) and the purple Valentine baby for less than a $1 for both at a yard sale in near mint condition.

A baggie full of the G1 McDonalds bookmark clip thingies at a flea market for about $1 or maybe less at a flea market.

I am sure there are more I currently cannot think of. I have been pretty lucky in my days. :)

Post by: Ponyland on June 09, 2012, 04:37:43 AM: Hmm..

I got spanish Texas (big brother) yellow hat for, I think, £5 on ebay.

And the red lollipop barette for the duch baby flower pony for $10, also ebay.

My first big ebay lot (6 years ago) included a perfect mint Mimic (pink stripe and unharmed pearly coating), SS Angel and 50 other ponies in lovely condition. I won it for about $150!
Still have many ponies from that lot in my collection. :)

Title: Re: Show your biggest MLP bargain so far !
Post by: ladyfenrir on June 09, 2012, 07:25:54 AM: alt birthflowers, lots of them, for about $1 - $2.50 each. mountain boys, baby sapphire with accessories, various harder to find uk ponies... all for $1 - $2.50 each, as well. I've been lucky as far as dutch ponies go, as well, getting a couple for free from a friend. I also think I got very lucky with my argie brillitos... got them all rather cheap (and they're all mint), before their prices went through the roof!

Post by: BrightSide on June 09, 2012, 11:10:51 AM: I've not hit the boot sales yet, so watch this space.. :P

As of the moment, my best bargain was this girly, for £1 at my work from my lovely manager:

Plushies usually cost quite a bit more than that, of any gen! I've seen the exact same pony go for around £25 on eBay. And that one wasn't even in mint condition, like mine is.. :yikes:

and my mom found Strawberry Swirl for20p at a boot sale! Doesn't really count as G3s aren't difficult to find, but it's the cheapest we've found a pony for so far.

Title: Re: Show your biggest MLP bargain so far !
Post by: Sonata on June 10, 2012, 05:29:18 AM: OH I nearly forgot I got one of my grails (Hair-do Bangles, who I wanted ever since I was a child) two years ago on Ebay for £7 or £8. I got so happy when she arrived. She was dirty, but after cleaning her and separating the hair properly, she looked so minty ! :D Everytime I look at her, I smile :)

Also, greats finds everyone ! Keep sharing the awesome~
