Your Best Bargain...

[Ianthe99]

Cha-Cha the llama, Oakly and Cutasarus with a bunch of other ponies for probably around $5.

Nightglider for about .25

Part of the Wedding Prance porcelain (Just Twilight on the base, Moondancer was gone) for probably $1.50.. and Cotton Candy porcelain for under a buck.( And CC fits perfectly in the spot Moondancer's supposed to be in!)

A so soft sleepy newborn for $1

Lots of things. I used to thrift a TON and used to find great things a lot! Pony and non pony.

I've only been collecting for a little over a year, so I haven't found many bargains.  My best ebay bargain would be getting a huge lot of almost 90 ponies for 50+shipping.  Most were in really great condition, and it was an awesome buy for me, since I was just starting to collect ponies.  They came out to like .80 per pony.  I also got just-out-of-the-box condition Baby Rainribbon and Sunribbon for 7 bucks, I love them!

My best flea market/thrift store find was getting the fading-pink-haired version of Italian Cotton Candy for $1.00.

Well she didn't have wings or hair, but still.

Glacia, that Teeny Tiny pony picture with the scary eyes never gets old!  Not to mention that Lady Flutter looks awfully *familiar*!!  Teehee:)

**EDIT***  Wait, I found her on a mailbox, so technically she was free:

I picked up Diamond Dreams along with nine G3s for $10 at a thrift store.

I thought she was a fakie at first, the Arena collectively facepalmed when I asked who the fakie is in my lot of G3s.

I've not had a whole lot of luck with ebay (I usually spend too much on there :p) but my friend picked up about 60 G1's at the flea market for me for $15. It had Baby Sea Ponies with their floats and even some Lady Lovely Locks Pixie Tails that I've always wanted And I got a near mint Diamond Dreams from the thrift store for about $2 I didn't like her at the time and stuffed her up in the attic and forgot about her, lol. But I rescued her and I love her now!!

Hmm, Michelle, I think your MOC Argie Sun Glider was your best bargain.  She cost more than Cool Breeze, but she was still a bargain considering. 

[bluerose9978]

MB Tornado in excellent condition on eBay for $20. Or Greek Blossom on eBay for $2.

[Eviecorn]

Hip Holly for about $12.

Soooooooo jelly.

I got a Goldilocks, Molasses with factory curl, and a Minty with a nice outfit for hosting a friend when she was too drunk to drive home.

My best deal ... when I found a MIB Rapunzel at a US garage sale for 1 penny!!!!

HAHA... not. (Though I've had dreams like that....)

My best deal was probably done by my sister, actually; years ago she swapped a lot of sea ponies for a minty Mimic, as a gift for my birthday. (Doesn't she rock??)
Ironically, NOW, those particular HTF sea ponies together are probably worth more than Mimic... but it was a great deal back then.

Do gifts count?? I got a MIB Tall Tales as a gift from a very dear friend this Christmas.

[Nappercasper]

I think my best to date was greek baby bowtie in a no picture sale on ebay, for £5 including postage. But others would be spain sugarberry for £20 on ebay, piggies butterscotch 20p, snuzzle 50p... quite a few others... but its not like it used to be anymore!

[little.fox]

Ebay's been pretty good to me

Gosh! eBay really has been good to you, Glacia! I can't believe some of those absolute steals!


My best bargains were: Barnacle: free and Baby Ribbons & Bows: 5 sek ($.70).

When I was just getting into pony collecting in the late 90s, once in a while a store near me would have "surplus goods" . . . Stuff that they had bought from other stores going out of business.  One time I found four MIB Dream Beauties there for $10 each!  They also had loads of MIB Dance 'n Prance ponies at one point.  But the best was when I found the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe for $10 and the Perm Shoppe for $15!
