Just joined....looking for MLP collectors...

[lunawolf]

Hi everyone at the MLP Forum!

I am from Canada, the west coast are in BC.   I'm old, haha.  41 years old to be exact.  I hope someone here is close to my age! 

I come here to the MLP Forum due to some major life changes.

I just got out of a 20 year long abusive relationship and before I did my now-ex threatened my life.  So...major changes for me now and up and coming!

But what does that have to do with MLPs you ask? 

Well, I have had to sell everything I own and in a few weeks I am moving out of the area.  Quite far away.  You see my ex has not gone to court like he was supposed to so he has a warrant out for the threats and I don't feel safe.  I do have a protection order, but if he decided to do something while I'm asleep there isn't much I can do about it and it could deb too late by the time police arrive.

So....I've decided that I am going to go to a new country and start a new life!  That means selling all I own except for my clothes and my dog, and packing up and going. 

Okay, I think I'm starting to see where MLPs fit into this then! 

So, I have a box of MLPs and accessories I have been keeping with me since 1982.  They were a HUGE part of my childhood and brought me endless hours of joy.  However, where I am going I have limited space for belongings and I can't haul the box with me and it costs too much to ship.  Plus shipping my 100b dog is costing me a fortune and at this point in life money is more important than ponies. 

Did I just say that?!?  GASP! 

I never thought I would ever say that!  I pictured myself a little old lady one day sitting in a rest home with my ponies all around me.  Brushing their hair.  Dressing them up.  Enjoying then like I did when I was little.  LOL.

But life has a funny way or redirecting us, so I must find them new homes. 

I can't bear the thought of selling them to some random person who won't appreciate and cherish them like I have.  I haven't arrived them around with me for the past 30+ years for nothing!  LOL.


So that's when I found this forum!  I had been delaying and delaying selling them.  But I only have a few weeks left before I go, so it's time.  Ugh.

I'm looking for MLP collectors who will give them a good home.  I will post everything in detail in the other thread if this post gets approved and I am accepted to join.  It's so silly, but I really want them to go to a good home and not end up in a garbage can or at the bottom of some toy box unloved and lonely.

What a silly 41 year old I am!  But my new life and my new start is almost here and it's time I had to let them go.

Thanks for reading my tale!  Glad to meet like minded pony worshipers! 


Forgot to add that all my ponies are G1.

I'm sorry to hear about the struggles you've been through in recent times but congrats to you for taking the next step.

I'm sure you will find lovely homes for your herd. Do try keep just a couple of favorites so you don't miss them too much. When you are settled you can always recollect again

Welcome to the forums.

Oh dear, that's terrible. Hopefully things will turn for the better for you. Parting ways with your ponies may be hard but remember, you can always start collecting them again.

Oh my gosh!! That is horrible! I hope it all works out for you and you stay safe!

And on a good note you have a joined a great site to sell your collection one! Is there anyway that you can keep your dog?

[lunawolf]

I am keeping my dog yes!  I would never let him go ever.  He has been with me through everything and always by my side to keep me safe. 

It's costing a ton of money to take him with me because he is so large and I am in so much debt, but I would do anything to make sure we stay together. 

Glad you asked - yes, he's coming with me! 

I leave in 3 weeks and he leaves in 7 weeks.  I'll miss him for a few weeks, but he will join me shortly after I get settled!!
