Title: Hi
Post by: KCP on December 27, 2016, 09:01:59 PM
So apparently I have to introduce myself...

Growing up, I hated dolls, but loved MLP.  I amassed quite a few.

While visiting my family for Christmas, I found my collection in the basement and decided that while I don't need them them anymore, I don't necessarily want to donate them to a thrift store.  I'd rather they go to a good home.  They're all in pretty good condition.

I have some pseudo rare ponies, like my Mountain Boy Ponies (Tornado and Thundercloud) and Birthflower Ponies.  Hopefully someone will want them, and can help me get them from point A (eastern Canada) to point B (where you are).

Welcome! Who knows, maybe we'll make a collector out of you again?  :lol:

But either way, there's some great people here who can help you with price checks and help you sell. I hope you enjoy your time here at the Arena.

I will definitely be posting pictures.  They've been sitting in a box in our basement for over 25 years.  Part of me wants to keep a few for nostalgia's sake, but I decided to just keep Bowtie (my first pony) and one of the baby seaponies.  Everything else is up for grabs :)

Nooooooo!  I can't collect more things!  The point of coming here is to get RID of my collections! :)

I'm the same way about a-lot of my ponies, lol, some of the totally plain ones I keep simply for nostalgia's sake, while others, no matter how cool they are, get traded off or sold because I don't feel any real connection with them, at the same time though, it's nice to know they're going to a good home, and I don't think I could just toss them into the thrift store bin and not know who they went to

And now I am sitting here on the floor patiently brushing out the manes and tails so they'll look appealing.  Some aren't in as good of shape as I thought, so I suspect I'll be giving most of them away for the cost of shipping.  As long as someone is happy with them, that's what matters.

Styling pony hair is one of my favorite calming activities tbh, lol, and don't worry too much about getting them perfect, I'm sure someone will take them regardless uvu, maybe even me when they're all ready <3

Welcome to the Arena :wave:

Make sure to hold onto a couple of faves!  I'm positive there will be many collectors here that will help you rehome your herd and make them feel welcome.  Price checks can be done in archives and corral and post a sales post when you're ready :)

Welcome to the Arena, KCP!

We have these intros in place just to get to know you a little more. After that, you can explore the rest of the site. Those mountain boys will sell very well. Best of luck with your sales!

Hello my fellow Canadian! Welcome to the arena! Hopefully, we could make a mighty fine collector out of you, and I'm sure everyone and their dog would want some of those ponies. Good luck finding a good home.

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone.  I finally managed to photograph them all, and will be posting pictures of them shortly.
