Title: Goldmine at the Sevierville TN Flea Market
Post by: lordalexander74 on October 08, 2017, 05:57:56 AM
Was walking around the Sevierville flea market yesterday, near the tables behind the main building, and I just happened to glance down and find a milk crate FULL of mostly G3's and G1's. Unfortunately I only had $15 on me, couldn't grab them all.
Starflash and Peachy. Peachy should be easy enough to clean, though Starflash has some head/body mismatch going on and I don't want to scrub too hard and risk removing more glitter.
Secret Wish seems to be missing a lot of glitter, and I don't think that tail washer looks too healthy. Got some brown spots near her magnet hoof, hard to tell if they're inside or on the surface.
If anyone's in that area, I'm sure theres still some left, better go grab them.

Wohoo! Nice finds. I'm glad you had at least some money on you. Imagine if you had nothing and missed out all together! *gasp* It doesn't bear thinking about. Starflash is very pretty and she still has her earring :lovey:

It's that nightmare situation - stumbling upon vintage ponies in the wild only to find that you have limited cash on you! Glad you managed to buy some of these pretties! :biggrin:

There was an ATM nearby, I could've cleaned that box out easily. Though I am running out of room to display older gens, and am trying to save some spending money for Nightmare Nights in Dallas this year. Choices, choices...

Great finds! It always kills me to leave ponies behind. :D
Poor Starflash... sadly whatever material they made those ponies out of is breaking down at a rapid rate.
