who would you keep? and why?

[cyberunicorn]

so if oyu could only keep certain ponies in your collection who would it be.

like if you had to pick who would you choose the truly rare or would you pick the one that any other person would just love to bait?

one the on hand the rare pony would be probably kept in original condition if sold or the poor pony that you found at the sales in sort of goodish condition that any other would pt in to the bait bin and change forever


Personally I am too sentimental I would rather sell the rare find (unless it was one I had being after since I was a little girl, mimic for example (who is a permanent member of my herd along with my child hood ponies/their replacements of the ones that were sold)) I become attached with british ponies even remembering where I got them from bit sad but if they have being through so much I like the face they have a forever home and can reuter and relax in a good home. (after all the love of the children they have met and the adventures they have being on I think the deserve it)

or would you toss that old common one in favour of the super rare one?


I don't know why it is a question that has always crossed my mind

I would choose to keep my childhood ponies and my current favorites, no matter what condition they were in or how rare they were. So any rare pony who doesn't meet those requirements would have to be sold. I kind of think of my ponies (especially my childhood ones) almost as living objects , like many of us here, and I wouldn't get rid of my old friends.

I'm sentimental.  If it has a story, I am way less likely to part with it.

I dont have any childhood ponies any more but I do have favourites - some hard to find, some common - so I think my decision would be influenced just by the ponies I like the best out of them all

I'm the same way.  I'm more partial to the gifts and the amazing thrift store finds that got me super excited than the ones from eBay.

That said, if I *had* to pear down my collection right now I know I'd keep Wind Whistler, Crumpet, Ice Crystal, Tux, Satin and Lace, Truly, Buttons for sure.  Probably have to go through the babies separately.

I guess condition and completeness would be my top criteria. I also treasure my restored baits and wouldn't part with them as those have become my main pieces that I love to use for displays.
