Title: MASSIVE G1 Goodwill haul!
Post by: mistychuu on December 08, 2014, 03:59:55 PM: So one of our two goodwill shops was closing. Everything was 10 cents except electronics and everything was mixed up in boxes. My mom and I dug around and didn't find much at first. We were about to leave until I spotted a few boxes of toys in a corner. I dug around, found tons of ponies, ended up finding 25 total. All in assorted conditions, but obviously from the same person's childhood herd. I took all I could find and I was in HEAVEN. I got two holy grails of mine and I've cleaned up all but three or four.
I found two magic message ponies (with the images still attached and working, one is cracking a bit though) and one of those ponies (Tabby is her name) where you squeeze her butt and her tail wags lol.

Here's the haul!

Which one is Magic Hat? I've IDed a couple of the ponies, but there's a few where I have no clue who they are...the sea pony was one, but thank you for giving her name!

Ahahaha, they were actually super grey and not so white when I found most of them! I scrubbed the grime off of them and I have to say, it's amazing how vibrant their colors are underneath all that 20-30 something year old dirt!

You might try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, it works wonders. :)

Congrats on the new additions! The hot pink lipstick you mention will need to be sunfaded to be completely removed.
I will do that once it's sunny outside again! acetone managed to remove it completely on one pony, but I'm afraid Glory needs sunfaded. It's really severe for her.

Post by: IreneL on December 23, 2014, 05:23:42 PM: Turns out it wasn´t too hard to find MLP at goodwill stores here. It´s just that they wanted about 8-10$ for G1s that was in rather poor condition and definitely not rare enough to be worth more than a few $.
I even felt a bit angry about the overprices, like if they were trying to "trick" people they are rare and worth as much as new toys, even with big discolourations, cut hair etc. Or that they would be really cool kids toys (wouldn´t you rather give them new toys than 20-30 year old already wrecked ones that are still dirty and all?).

Then I felt like a bad person that should have bought them at overprices because it´s goodwill = like donating money. :P
And the final stage was the conclusion that no, I am already donating some without getting bad stuff in return. But yeah, I don´t have to buy them either just because they are there. Like any sales lot on ebay for that matter. :blush:
