I had to accept them because they came with Baby Quakers, but I don't realy want them.

Do you have any information about them?
I think they are JaRu http://www.fakietopia.com/fjaru

Usually when I get those they're in such bad condition that they end up in the garbage. Looks like some of yours still have some nice hair!

Awwww...I like that they are the same family :)

If you dont want to keep them then offering them for sale (free just pay shipping) will get them easily moved on. We have lots of fakie collectors on the boards but value of the actual ponies usually needs to be low.

You could always donate them to a daycare center, or charity, or preschool.I'm sure little kids would love to have grand adventures with them. :)

I second donating them away. Everyone wins with that.

Both donating them to somewhere where small children visit daily (daycare, pediatrician's office, play area at a mall...) and offering them "free just pay shipping" are both good options. :)

No need to throw them away!! Lots of us would be happy to give them a good home if you don't find a preschool/day care/kid. I hate to think of them rotting away in the trash.

Hopefully the kids are old enough or will actually love them.  :)
I had bad experience with little kids when I was little, long story short my pony ended up with a cut in half body, torn hair, and my stuffed cat lost a leg.  :(

I got 10 of these while buying ponies this past month. They were all in great condition, so I just put them all in one bag and sold them at a flea market for a dollar. I made the little girl who bought them very happy and later spent that dollar on a baby Apple Delight that I found on that same flea market  :biggrin: Win-Win

I understand--fakies give me the creeps!!! Yes, just donate them or offer them here for the price of shipping. Anything to get them out of your house! :)

I thought such swift measures were only meant for glowy eyed BBEs and Princess Rinse n Spits with mysterious red stains on their teeth. XD

My fakies go to my daughter.  She is very happy to have them; doesn't know any different.  Her total pony collection is up to 10 now.   ;)

Really, the more I look them, the more I like them but I have a limited space and I can't start to collect fakies  :cry:
Recently I opened my collection to G3 too, if I added fakies...
I couldn't throw them away.

Everyday I go to a flea market I have to fight with myself not to buy Barbies and similar, Monster High, Barriguitas... They are so cute and cheap and they seem so sad...It's a nightmare.

Surely, I will give them to charity, now Christmas is coming.

I'd donate them, too. That kind is not popular among collectors, I find.

This! Fakies are a little hard to sell unless they're the few that collectors go for, so it all depends on how long you're willing to keep them around to see if you can sell them. If you'd like to rehome them quickly, charity is a wonderful option. :)
