Pony Corral / Re: an expensive hobby???
« on: August 15, 2013, 12:59:25 PM »
I suppose a pony is only worth what someone is willing to pay :)
maybe I just love the rare ponies. ...I always did have expensive taste haha. Still going to try to source a mimic at some point. ...best start saving now!
I have found some bargains lately, a mint baby ribbon for £4 including p+p!! 

What sort of price is mimic fetching lately?  :what:

Yeah love those little plastic toys!! Some are older than me! I don't mind spending on hard to find foreign ponies, just sometimes they are so over priced in the uk.  Especially now I'm after a select few to add to the herd. ;) my biggest spend was on star flower in mint condition from Belgium.  Had to put in some overtime that week!! The main thing is trying to locate American ponies in the uk.  There's fewer to choose from to begin with so the wiley ebayers' seem to add extra ££'s. I have sometimes found its cheaper to buy in the usa than try to buy one in the uk. It was actually cheaper to ship a pony from Canada once than buy one less than 100 miles away! :/

I have purchased quite a few ponies from the usa. So far most shipping for 1-2 ponies is under $13. I've luckily never had any import tax bills on any purchases.  Even when I *cringe* spent $60 on three ponies. A mint twilight, a  pinwheel and sky flier, who was absolutely full of rust!! I was surprised that once cleaned though out she was practically mint.

Yes buy them straight from the USA. Just wondered if they would be any cheaper in their home country. If a mimic does come up she's usually over £150. I just wondered what her typical price went for outside the uk. May have to start saving :p she's the last te I need to complete both sets.  :)

Wow  :dribble: wonderful ponies!! I'd love to own your so soft bangles and fifi :) what a fabulous find!

Hello pony fans!
  I'm starting to collect ponies again after finding my childhood ones a few months ago. There are a few USA ponies I'd love to add to the herd, however these are rather elusive in the UK and seem to go for sometimes silly amounts.
What I'm wondering is the current prices night glider taf,  mimic and so soft buttons in good condition go for in the USA,  as I frequently purchase from there and wondered if it would be cheaper to import them directly, Rather than try to outbid the hoards on ebay!!
thank you for your time.  :lovey:

Thank you everyone!! I'm glad I didn't throw them away. They were stored in the attic for over a decade! Some still have that lovely new pony smell!!! :)

Thank you :D! My first pony is peeking out in the bottom right corner ....braided beauty b n' g :) I remember choosing her because she was my favourite colour green.  A few are recent additions but on the most part are all my originals.

I was completely mlp mad!!
I'm  hoping to add a twist, fifi and a ribbon to my collection shortly (next week) fingers I crossed. So I can get de flocking!! There so bright and colourful under all that yellowed flocking!
Thank you for all your advice.

http://db.tt/w3QbuhKB (hopefully that link works) some of my ponies.  Some are new additions ;) like glory and a rather dirty surprise covered in pin dot ( managed to remove most of it) a lot of my ponies came from boot fairs and from presents so I just must of had some good finds and family over the years! I have recently started to collect again and can't wait to get some more fuzzy ponies :)
