The Dollhouse / Strawberry Shortcake Collection

« on: May 07, 2024, 09:34:17 AM »

Hello friends!

I am looking to rehome (sell) my mom's SSC collection. I'd prefer to sell in a lot to an SSC collector who will be able to give the items the TLC they need to keep and/or resell. I'm capable of selling them individually on ebay but I just don't want to. Basically I'm hoping someone will buy them at a bulk discount and then can take the time I don't have to make a proper profit or add to their SSC stash.

If you collect SSC, or have a friend who does, please reach out! I'll go over all the details about what is in the boxes if someone is seriously interested. As of right now I have not done an inventory, but can say that it includes dolls, playsets, and clothing, all gently played with, from 1980-1984, and some items from the 2003 release.

Pony Corral / Price check - G1 mail orders

« on: May 26, 2020, 09:49:57 AM »

Hi! I am selling my G1 mail order ponies. Hopefully this isn't breaking any forum rules to ask for a price check here, since I already have them posted in the For Sale - For Auction section while I try to work out prices. If it does break any rules, moderators can delete or message me as appropriate.

I've found some of them as recent sales on ebay, but am having some trouble finding others here or there. I'd love to save the hassle of ebay listings, but I also don't want to undersell here since there is a smaller market of buyers.

I have virtually every MO except magenta Satin 'n Lace and one of the sparkle ponies. So I pretty much need price checks on everything.

Would especially love advice on Mommy & Baby, Hollywood, Rapunzel. Oh, heck, I'd love help with all of them. LOL. Assume very good used condition for all of them.

Thanks in advance! By way of background - I haven't actively bought new ponies in over 10 years, so I really am out of touch with current market. I used to be very well known in the community but have been MIA for quite some time. I promise I'm legit though.

I should add that I'd appreciate market advice in general. Including whether listing on ebay is the smarter move right now. Or whether Covid-19 has had much effect on sales. It doesn't seem like it from what I've noticed. But again, I'd love any advice.

For Sale - For Auction / [[SOLD]] Full Sea Pony Collection For Sale

« on: May 25, 2020, 01:53:22 PM »

Update #2: The collection has been sold. Thank you everyone for all the comments and interest. It was such a labor of love to curate this collection over many years. It's bittersweet to sell, but I feel confident they are going to a good home.

I will be listing more MOC/MIB ponies and the rest of my non-sea pony collection over time. I'm sorry that I am very behind in responding to PMs about the mail order ponies. I should have just done the sea ponies first and then moved on.

Update #1: I've taken a ton more pictures from all angles so everyone can see the full condition of the boxes. Boxes tend to be pretty fragile. A few are in pristine condition and a few are pretty bad.

I will be closing the sale by end of day Monday, June 1st. If you are interested and haven't already contacted me, please do so asap. I'm asking everyone for their payment terms (whether they can pay in a lump sum or need payments, and if so, how long will the payments take), whether they plan to keep the collection intact, and if they have any counteroffer.

I really want this collection to go to a very good home and am thrilled about the interest!

Original post:

Hello!

It's official, I am selling my collection. Before I start with the regular ponies, and before I start posting on ebay, I thought I'd take a chance and see if anyone wants to buy the entirety of my sea pony collection. I'm not expecting you all to beat down my door, but one never knows.

I am not selling these individually at this time. Please only contact me if you want to buy the entire collection. If no one does, then I'll start the process of listing individually.

The collection includes both loose and packaged sea ponies, plus a unique collection of sea pony paraphernalia. Pictures below. Lots more detailed information and pictures are available to anyone who is seriously interested. If I'm doing my math right there are 56 babies on cards, 4 babies in boxes, 21 adults in boxes, and 1 adult in a bag. Plus all the loose ones (about 50), accessories, books, even a lawn sprinkler.

Asking price for the entire collection is $15,000. This is not first come first served. I'll give it a week or so and then list individually on ebay. If there is more than one person interested in the entire lot I'll have an open dialogue with you.

Boxes and cards include:
1) Every US adult and baby in box or on card with the single exception of Year 3 adult Wave Jumper. Five bonus Watercolor babies with mommy charms. Bonus Year 2 adults with variations in the packaging and comb colors. Bonus Year 3 adult Sand Dollar in a wholesale bag without shell. Bonus P&P baby Sun Shower packaged with a Beachcomber sticker. Bonus TE Galaxy and TE Fizzy on incorrect P&P cards. Party gift pack (two of them, actually. One isn't in great condition but I'd include it if desired.)

2) One of three UK adults in box. Four of five UK babies on card. All three Italian in Italian boxes. All three Italian plus the one variant in Belgian/Dutch boxes. All three Mexican in boxes (albeit they are in horrible condition). I also have a duplicate Belgian box.

3) Foreign package variations for babies including 4 Belgium/Holland, 3 Canada, 1 Germany, 1 Italy, 4 UK (in addition to the unique ones noted above), 4 France.

Loose ponies are pictured but I need to clean them up a bit still. Also, I do have the fifth UK variant baby pretty & pearly sea pony, I'm just not sure where. I had it in pictures years ago on my old website so I do still have it. It's just not in the pictures.

If you want to see more individual pics of the loose ponies you can go to http://geocities.ws/mlpwhizzer19/seaponies.html. I've added to the collection since that site was created, but the individual ponies are still the same ones. Just older and a bit dustier from having been in storage.

Introductions / Re-introduction

« on: April 13, 2018, 12:50:09 PM »

Hi! I'm not new, but I haven't been around for several years. Figured I should re-introduce myself.

I used to be very active on the old MLPTP under this same username. Looks like most of my posts here (although there were never a ton) are no longer available. Oldies would know me from the site I ran a million years ago called Sea Pony Utopia.

After many years of bittersweet contemplation I have finally decided I am selling my collection. It includes dozens of MIB/MOC G1 ponies and other items, hundreds of loose G1s, all or almost all G1 mail orders, 1st and 2nd year G3s, etc. Only a couple non-US ponies. Will be sorting through everything and taking pics in the next several weeks, and probably will post ebay links here.

Hi to anyone old like me who may remember me, and hi to those I never met!
