Title: The Delaneys Final Dispersal Sale... Going...Going...Gone
Post by: Delaneys on May 30, 2016, 04:58:55 PM
Well, over 20 years after it started, we are finally closing down the pony room and selling our collection (I read with interest the speculations that it had been previously sold but it had not - we had trimmed the herd a few times but still had a large room in the house dedicated to ponies).

We have 60+ lots on ebay right now (seller = delaneys) and we have started a webstore at
http://emmasmlp.com (http://emmasmlp.com)
where we have fixed price buy it nows... nothing cheap or inexpensive but hey... they've been with us for years now.  Yes, Rapunzel is there, so are Scribbles and Dabble.  We'll be adding to both ebay and the other site over the next few months.

If you have any special requests, please let us know.  But be kind... we've been out of the trading game for a long time and have little idea of the value of items.  And the proceeds are going for a great cause too!

For those that know us, Emma (the tiny baby at Pony Palooza I and II) is now 15, was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma in March but is responding VERY well to chemotherapy and treatment and we have great hopes for a good outcome!  Think good thoughts for her.

And please let us know if you have a grail item you are looking for that you know we must have lurking on a shelf or in a closet somwhere  :biggrin:

We have an 8 foot long dresser full of accessories alone, all the UK comics, binders full of pony materials and tons and tons of "pony stuff" besides the ponies... we'll try and be responsive as we can but realize we're gone about 1 week a month at the hospital right now.  We'll do the best we can.... email us at  [email protected] .  If anyone is in the northern Virginia area and wants to visit the pony room one last time before we tear things apart too much, drop us a note!

Best to you all...

I've sent you a message via your web form, about pony stuff and about other stuff, but just on here I'd like to say it's been a long time, and I'm sad you're selling. It's yet another of the 'old school' collectors I remember from when I first came online in 1997-8, and even though I never got to go to a Palooza, I remember the talk and the photos from it all the same :)

Wishing Emma all the best with her treatment :)

Does anyone remember fakie Princess Rinse and Spit?  lol... we just came across her when sorting out the room... too many good memories.  Who was it that won the fakie long drive contest (hitting fakie ponies with golf clubs) at the first Pony Palooza?  Boy... those were the days.

I'm sorry to hear of such famous collectors going out but I hope your daughter continues to respond to treatment and gets well. Do you have any pictures of your pony room? I would love to see some before you dismantle it as I do not live near VA. Good luck with sales! Maybe I will have to PM at some point ;)

I've heard absolutely amazing things about your collection and I'm so sorry to hear about Emma. I'm wishing you all the best.
I think I've bought from you before (a few years ago when I was just starting collecting). I don't live too far from you but I would hate to impose on you and your collection.
Title: Re: The Final Dispersal Sale... The Delaney's Collection up!

We would be more than happy to have any collectors come by one last time... no imposition.  Seriously, we had folks from all over the world here for a week at a time in the early 2000's  =o).

Just wanted to say so sorry that you have gone through this hard time and that you have to sell your collection.   I  have heard about you guys  from a long time ago and even bought some ponies from you guys years back.   Wish I was in Virginia so I could see the legendary pony room.   Also just wanted to say best of luck!

We posted less than 1/2 of the merch stuff we have boxed and ready for listing... next week we'll do the balance of it all.  Also going to post up another 50 or so MIB/MOC items to our website when we have some spare moments... another chemo weekend so we've been a bit pressed for time.

Again, thanks to everyone for your well wishes, good vibes and wonderful patronage.  Much appreciated to see our collection being absorbed into loving homes.

I have that cutlery set as well mib! I wonder how many are out there.

Can't wait to see more MOCs/MIBs. I'm jealous of whoever won the seapony snowglobe and the blue ride on pony. WANTTTT. WANT SO MUCHHH. Money was tied up in buying new furniture so I only got one MIB.

About the website--am I dumb or is there just one picture of each item that's kind of cropped oddly? I can't see everything which holds me back from buying. I'm sure that's not intentional, just wanted to share or figure out the issue.

Unfortunately, that is how the wix store website software works.  You have to open up each item to see the "non-cropped" picture (or at least a better picture representation) - the store template has predetermined sizes in the store frames so it is difficult to manage in that regard.  Couldn't really find a better store template in the limited time I went looking.

Wysteria, I completely understand your wish to raise your problem. But I would just ask if you decide to continue the dicussion please post over in Trader Support forum rather than in Sales :) Trader Support is where all members need to take such issues and where others will have immediate visibility of any concerns raised.

We've corresponded with Wysteria and worked things out with her.

Added winged ponies (summer/windy wing) as well as some baby sea ponies - many of them have all accessories/floats/combs/ribbons and quite a few even with back card cut outs.

Well even holding it in your hands, it is difficult to say if the spot is on the plastic bubble or a small pony cancer lesion.  I think it may be both after spending sometime looking at it.  The plastic bubble is scratched over the spot but I do think there is a spot underneath.  Shame, it is a very very nice card and undisturbed inside.

I saw the blue ribbon auction, but read the description and thought it was for a princess sparkle? Either way, I had my eyes on another auction and couldn't justify spending too much when all I needed was the cards (shameless plug, anyone got any adventure cards for sale?)

Great news on Emma! I hope things continue improving!

Post by: Delaneys on July 30, 2016, 07:22:35 PM
Hi everyone!  First of all, let me address the question of the Baby Blue Ribbon game.  There was a misbid that drove the price crazy, the person who did the misbid asked to cancel which we agreed... unformately, that left the 2nd highest bidder with a ridiculous bid also.  So we sold to the 3rd bidder on 2nd chance as their bid was astronomical in our our eyes... final price was just short of $400.

We've been quite busy this week getting most of the US collection posted onto the emma website.  Tonight I finally got 100 or so lots added including the much asked for and anticipated adult sea ponies with original shells.  LOTS of stuff is ready to be posted and we'll be adding another 100-200 lots there tomorrow.  Brings the number of items on the site to 475 right now and upwards of 600 by tomorrow night.  Please check it out.  There is a ton of stuff here starting from $1 and up,

http://emmasmlp.com (http://emmasmlp.com)

48 new lots posted for this week on ebay - even after I thought we were getting down to the end of our MIB/MOC items we found some more, some Nirvana items and a few merchandise items.... even a few "bait" lots to liquidate a 100 ponies or so.

Getting down near the end now, today's additions pretty much add the rest of what we still have.  We're in the process today of adding another 200 or so ponies (will be adding more throughout the day)... lots of chances for Nirvana items starting as low as $5 (see the foreign pony section - Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, France,...).  Some more mint in bag items we found (birthflowers, other mail orders) and lots of other ponies. There will be near 700 items on the website before the end of the day.

This will be our last weekend of first run ebay lots - then we'll probably take a few weeks off before we start selling some accessories and items currently on Emmasmlp site.

Yes... I believe that is all the ponies unless we find some as we clean out the room but I'm pretty sure everything is numbered and listed somewhere except the lots I have going up today (or the items which end up not being paid for on ebay, had a rash of those lately).

Accessories will likely be in September - got a vacation and a surgery between now and labor day so I think today's ebay may be it until then.
