I need to sell off some of my herd BUT...

Sell the Frozen doll. It's at it's peak popularity now and unlikely to climb in value.

How about picking out a few of your 'star' ponies that would bring interested parties (that are replaceable, and not childhood/gifted ponies) and holding a raffle?  Then you may not have to part with as many of them, and you might raise just as much $$$.  Especially if it's for a good cause!  I would love to participate!  I could possibly donate a prize or two for you as well (though I am moving at the moment...  O.o  Crazy time here!)

Aw, that's so sweet of you I've thought about this idea as well!

Another thought that is completely unrelated to selling ponies, but may be of benefit for if there are unexpected emergencies like this in the future is maybe if you are able, try sticking a little bit of money every month into an emergency fund.  My husband and I have a VERY full house when it comes to critters (23 lives besides the two of us, and several of them in or nearing the geriatric stage) and a couple years ago, my soul mate dog bloated and struck us with a very unexpected and very large vet bill.  Fortunately, we were able to cover it at the time, but it was a big wake up call for us that if something like that happened again at a different time, or if something major happened with one of the horses, we may not be able to cover it and an already terrible situation may be complicated by needing to make an even harder decision.  We decided to set up a "critter emergency fund" in a separate savings account with a pre-determined amount of money per critter that we keep in it.  Our money-per-critter amount likely isn't enough to cover an entire emergency visit with each animal's individual portion, but with as many animals as we have, it balances out, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that we won't have more than one emergency at a time (we have enough to cover two relatively major things at any given time, before we'd need to completely rebound the fund).  We've already used money from that fund twice in the two years we've had it going, so it's definitely been beneficial for us. 

Sorry if this was unsolicited advice, and even more sorry that it didn't have to do with ponies, but it has given us great peace of mind knowing that we should be able to afford emergency care if necessary and may be something that could help others, as well

This is actually a really good idea Emergency funds are always good in a pinch. I think I'll start saving for one

I'm still thinking it over though I might part with Elsa first

*hugs* honey - I know the feeling and I hope your fur baby is ok.

I do second this suggestion however.

As far as selling goes, if I loved every single last one of my ponies, I would go through and pick out ones to sell that were both ....
1.  Valuable and could bring in big money fast
2.  Not terribly hard to find

Go with things that will bring you the most dollars but that with patience you will be able to find again (and most likely for around the same price).

Good luck with whichever decision you make.

(ok, so I kinda scanned the thread) I didn't see this mentioned but I might have missed it

You do not have a credit check for care credit. I have poor credit. You just sign up. That easy! and you can put in almost any amount you want. I put it 5000 and got it, just like that. Use it for the doggies. It comes in handy for dentist too. We just had a 1000$ dental surgery put on it. The payments very by amount that is on the card (below 1000 is 25-50$) There is a year free interest on anything over 200? or maybe it was 300$ if you make all your payments on time. (on time very important) interest rate is really low but I can't remember what.

(I'm going to put a tattoo removal and hair removal on it next)

Thanks, Cat!

Aednatia, that's good to know! I will look into signing up

A couple of years ago I had to downsize my collection (for space - not money - which sucked even more lol) I didn't want to part with any of them either, so I did what Daffy also suggested and offered the whole lot up. There are some collectors who are willing to drop a lot of money and pretty much only get new stuff when someone sells off their collection. I let them come to me with which kind of thing they were after and their offer. Some I did turn down, but parting with the others was made a lot easier by the fact I knew someone was getting a grail (and I was getting a very good price )
