Quote from: SweetScoops on March 06, 2012, 08:36:44 AMAs a new collector, I was tricked by "senior" collectors and sold many ponies I came across from flea markets. I did'nt get near their worth, when I found out I was so angry about people I trusted tricking me into selling them my rare ponies I almost gave up collecting :'(I sold a mint condition Baby candy and two of the princess Dragons for $1 each to a collector who swore they was'nt worth baiting. And another collection graded my Sunburst to $8 and told me she was going to sell it for me, she kept the price difference by herself.So much for honesty. I'm sometimes kicking myself for beeing so stupid. But mostly I just sit back and let karma have it's way with them XP It's just money in the end, My ponies mean more to me than that.Ooooh....thats....very similar story to me on another one I just remembered [I think I try not and think of this one as it makes me cry lol]. When I started collecting I decided I didnt want accessories [yes, you may all faint in shock at that statement lol]. But I sold on here a couple of sweetie baby pony barrettes for $20 each - when I noticed someone had posted looking for them and I had no clue as to what they were worth...when I decided I needed to buy them back from another seller - times that number by 5 and add some more!! *Cry*

I guess my mistake was underestimating the value of the Mountain Boys - I picked up a pretty much mint condition Lightning from a car boot for £1 and assumed he was only worth £5-10 I also have a habit of overestimating certain G3s, though I've never really overpaid for them. Yet.

When I was 5 I left a backpack full of G1s unsupervised in my cubby at daycare because, after all, everyone was my friend! Nobody would take them!Yeah, I never saw that Little Mermaid backpack again.
