PC Please - not for sale atm, just needing an idea
« on: December 01, 2012, 05:41:50 PM »
:cloud: So money is tight and I've been thinking for weeks about parting with these girls. I have not decided yet, perhaps I won't sell, but I'd like a PC estimate on them for helping my decision. These poor girls have been sitting in a tub for months in a closet as we don't have the room to display them at all.

Also - what tends to be a good time to sell? Is it bad right now with the holiday season?

All boxes are in great condition except the second year princesses.  I think their boxes have seen some wear and tear, here is a link to their pictures

Mexican Dawn is not MIB persay - the accessories were all attached when I recieved him, but he was loose out of the box. I have tied him in there since I already have one on display
MIB Italian Sparkle
MIB Italian Starburst
MIB Italian Serena
MOC French Serena
MIB UK Starburst

MIB Sparkle
MIB Tiffany
MIB Serena
MIB Moondust
MIB Dawn
MIB Pristina
MIB Misty
MIB Sunbeam
MIB Sunburst

I appreciate all your help in advance :)

oh my - those would be amazing holiday snags (obvious understatement of the year)! but do take your time as it would probably be hard to come by those again...

I'm no expert, but I am thinking at least in the $200-$300US to more range for MIB's?  oh and that was just for the regular US - for the italians and the mexican  probably double that to "sky's the limit" and probably best = if you do decide to sell = to go with an auction and advertize for a long period to give everyone a chance = there was a good thread about selling SA's for similar situation.

Only thing about +/- selling now is I've read how alot of "us" tend to get money for the holidays and go shopping first of the new year what with resolutions and such ;-) but then if you do sell during the holidays wave you might find the BF/SO/husband etc  who will pay a pretty penny to have it NOW... dunno = seeing I'm the first response - best to see how the nirvana veterans weigh in

Double wow!
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

Amazing and beautiful ponies! I LOVE MLPs MIB -

I am not sure that there is a GOOD time to sell or not to sell.....it just depends who sees a pony that is a "must have" - then it is the right time!

I have no idea on price.......but good luck if you decided to sell.

I am downsizing .......but if you decide to sell.........
Maybe you could send them to me for a holiday.........LOL

I am a novice collector and have never come close to having any ponies worth a large amount (a girl can dream though right?) but you have an amazing collection and I wish you luck if you do decide to get rid of any. I would do some lengthy research on other pony collector sites, as well as places like ebay and other auction sites to look for similar items and see what they are going for. And...like what you've done here try to tap into the minds of other collectors that can possibly offer you more info as well. Again...BEAUTIFUL collection, simply stunning.

You might get more responses on the normal princesses in the Corral. That is an awesome collection! I think I paid about $350 for my MIB Princess Amber (on your list as MIB UK Princess Starburst, but she was never called that here ;) ), but I paid less for my other UK boxed princesses in their varying conditions.

Oops on my part, I was typing from my phone and hurried through I just called them by their US names :P
