Sky's brag thread - HUGE haul from fleamarket

[otocolobus_manul]

So I decided to make this my unofficial brag thread, not fir each individual gain but for bulk discoveries. And today I visited the local flea market and in delight, blew most of my money on g3.5 playsets in the front... only to discover that the REAL treasure trove was in the back. I had to leave a baity Gingerbread, a nice Whizzer, an almost complete set of BBEs, and a TON of g3s! This came as a shock, as ordinarily I've had such scant pony luck that leaving ponies was the last thing on my mind. I still can't believe I found g1s in the wild... and had to leave them. Well, now I know, I guess - start at the back first. I hope some other collector came along after me and found them.

Anyway, I did manage to pick up several ponies (and a Madoka grief seed necklace), including some newborn twins, nice condition So Softs, two adorable fakie babies, a handful of g3s (including Twilight Twinkle!!!), BnG Ringlets, Sniffles & Snookums, a RD McPony, some g3.5s and... FEATHERMAY! She was inside a g3.5 house I grabbed, and I almost fell over when I found her. She's not rare, per se, but she's hard enough to find that I never planned on buying her. Now I need her 9 sisters :')

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, sort of, anyway. For several weeks now I've been trying to get out and simply pony hunt for a while to forget the world, but there's always been some kind of block, be it heavy work or terrible weather and flooding roads. However, yesterday I finally managed to make it out to a Family Thrift Store (a stinking former grocery store with grime coating every surface). After navigating the warzone that was the toy section, with young kids flinging large toys at the ground and each other and screaming like banshees all the while, I surfaced with a Twilight Sparkle plushie, a Cheerilee McDonald's pony, an Ivy mcdonalds amidst a bag of lps, and a bag of small accessories that may or may not have been mlp.

I was feeling pretty good about my haul, but this was dampened considerably upon returning home to find that the Cheerilee and Ivy had not made it into my bag, despite paying for them : | at least they were cheap.

Also yesterday, I stopped by a dollar store, walgreens and Walmart, bringing home 4 different boxes of fakies, the new Luna FS, Nurse Redheart and the brushable-hair Rarity plushie - the last I needed to complete my hair plush mane 6. Definitely enough to make up for several weeks of frustrating empty-handedness (and then some). The extras and duplicates I acquired will go on my sales thread, so be sure to check that out!

Pictures will hopefully come soon.

I'll take pictures once they're all cleaned up, and i plan on selling Sniffles & Snookums. As adorable as they are, I'm not terrible interested in the newborns, mainly due to the prices.
