Pony Corral / Who signed this Pinkie Pie?

« on: September 30, 2018, 01:23:33 PM »

I think I bought her from here but it was a few years ago and I can't remember who from or find the messages or sales thread. I'm gonna guess it was 2014/2015 and I want to say she was autographed by a voice artist. Pinkie's hair was styled to look more like it does in the cartoon as well.

Any ideas?

Pony Corral / PC Please: G4

« on: September 14, 2018, 03:31:59 AM »

Selling at UK PonyCon so no postage to consider. I have a few oddballs and I'm not sure how to price them:

DJ Pon-3 head/Rarity body oddball
Glimmer Wing Diamond Rose/Rarity symbol w/ green wings & red hair oddball
Trixie body/head w/ fluttershy symbol 'Holly Blue' oddball

And some regular G4 which I think are slightly harder to find. Please assume mint and complete, I'll price down accordingly. I do have the friends.

Playful Ponies Wave 3 Blossomforth & hedgehog
Playful Ponies Wave 4 Feathermay & parrot
Playful Ponies Wave 4 Flitterheart & pig
Playful Ponies Wave 4 Honeybuzz & bumblebee
Playful Ponies Wave 4 Plumsweet & hamster

Travelling Ponies Wave 2 Cherry Pie & mouse
Travelling Ponies Wave 2 Diamond Roase & swan
Promo Pack Rainbow Flash & Turtle

Pony Scooter Friends Daisy Dreams

I also have virtually every Pinkie Pie up to 2016. I planned to put a blanket price on them all and chuck them in a box, but wanted to double check that there weren't any which are actually worth anything.

Pony Corral / Nooo not the ponies!

« on: August 05, 2018, 09:30:35 AM »

4 years ago I culled my collection and sold the vast majority off. I moved in with my now-husband and the ponies sat in their moving boxes (barring a handful of customs on display and post-move purchases). I decided to sell off the remainder, barring one custom and my only actual childhood pony. I need the money, we want the space, and honestly I've had zero interest in them for the past few years. Time to start prepping for PonyCon, it'll be here before I know it.

G2-G4 not a problem. But when I opened the box of G1s it was 'maybe I'll keep you.. and you.. and I can't get rid of you'.

Seriously, these ponies proper get a hold on you don't they?! I'm going to be sat behind my stall sneaking ponies back under the table so they don't sell.

Anybody else get like this?

Pony Corral / PC please: G3 Giant Blank

« on: June 15, 2018, 11:22:37 AM »

Ms Blank (approx 16" tall) has not had a hair cut to the best of my knowledge, her hair is still soft and she has no major marks. She does have some yellowing around the neck seam, eyelids and ear tips.

I hope to sell her at UKPC in October so postage shouldn't be an issue.

I bought her with the intention of customising her a couple of years ago but it's never going to happen (to the relief of many I imagine

) and she currently lives in our spare wardrobe to avoid a) the cats and b) the sun.

Any idea on her current value?

Customs / Selling customs & original artists

« on: June 15, 2018, 11:18:45 AM »

This year I am selling off my collection including customs. I have some that I received in custom swaps, some that I received in non-custom swaps, some that I bought and some that I commissioned. I believe they're almost all from 2009-2014 so nothing recent.

What's the current thinking around notifying the original artists?

Pony Corral / Where's best for current price checks?

« on: April 07, 2018, 07:09:10 AM »

Long time no speak

I am intending to sell off the remainder of my collection this year. I have a mix of G1-G4 but am completely out of the loop on pricing. I would say I haven't actively collected for about 4 years now.

The price-check archives on here appear to be somewhat dated/not in regular use. Are completed listings on eBay still good to use for guidelines? Have things changed much in the last 4 years? I am hoping to sell at UK PonyCon, so in person, which I appreciate can affect pricing.

I don't want to spam the forums asking for a ridiculous number of price checks!

Pony Corral / Selling an army of ponies

« on: January 01, 2017, 05:15:12 AM »

Two years ago I drastically downsized my collection. Now I'm contemplating selling the remainder. Unique ponies are not a problem, but I'm not sure what to do about the armies:
G4 Pinkie Pie
G3 SLH ponies
G2 Ivy
G1 Dance and Prance
G1 Buttons
G1 Beachball
G1 Wind Whistler

I'm not sure about exact numbers as the ponies have been boxed for a couple of years but each army is large.

Trader & Shipping Support / Super fragile - but I'm going to send it in a bubble mailer...

« on: May 27, 2016, 03:23:06 PM »

Received a parcel at the start of the week. Still haven't contacted the eBay seller but I should.

They sell collectables - in this case I bought some MOC G4s.

The bubble mailer they arrived in had something written on it like "Extremely fragile thanks".

So you know they're fragile - why wouldn't you put them in a box?! Unsurprisingly they all have slightly bent cards - one of which is creased so I won't be able to fix it.

Pony Corral / Is Power Pinkie available individually?

I haven't actually seen her for sale anywhere and I *need* one!

Trader & Shipping Support / Sales quiet?

« on: August 02, 2015, 02:01:53 PM »

Is anybody else finding sales a bit quiet at the moment?

I had some eBay auctions end this weekend without bids - and I know the items were priced low so really surprised they didn't sell. Planning to review pictures and descriptions and relist at some point, but wondering whether August is just a bad time of year?

Customs / Packing customs to move

« on: May 01, 2015, 07:56:32 AM »

I have a mix of sculpted and non, some with snazzy hair styles and quite a few with full repaints. A couple that I would say have more-fragile-than-average bits.

AFAIK only a couple are remotely sticky, I may have time to deal with that with a spray sealant if I do it sooner rather than later.

I don't know whether I'll be able to unpack the customs the day I move - it might take a couple of days as I don't want them getting knocked whilst we're moving other stuff around.

Reckon I could get away with wrapping them in clingfilm, then tissue/bubblewrap etc wouldn't cause issues in that period of time?
