This is the sweet spot for finding cheap G3s.

[dragonfly]

Remember that sweet spot all the G1 collectors wish they'd hit back in the early-mid 1990s?

When all the little pony girls thought they were too growed up for ponies and let their moms sell them at garage sales?

This is it for the G3s! I'm finding them all over at garage sales and found ton at the thrift store last week.

So snap them all up while you can. You never know who's going to be worth $600 in 23 years. lol.

Exactly! I bought a bin of 100 G3s for $50 at a toy show in February, and was promised by another seller that he'd bring his bin to the upcoming show.

That's why I tried to buy as many as possible while they were sold in stores Don't have many garage sales around my area =/

Lol...those are fantastic deals...I never thought of the fact it would work in cycles like this.

That is exactly what I am doing too DF

I've never found a single pony at a thrift store or yard sale.  I must be in a pony-deficient area..

[scarletjul]

I can usually find g3s at thrift stores; garage sales, not so much (no one sells toys at garage sales in my area.)

[StarDragon]

Good thinking. Buy them, condition them, and save for later... see, I only collect MIB G3s, but I have found loads of them in thrift stores. I've been buying them because I feel bad for leaving a pony behind, but then I don't know what to do with them.

Same with me, in some cases. I live in two places right now (California, and Illinois), and I have never found a single pony in thrifts or garage sales in CA since I live in a less populated town, especially during the 80's.  x.x

I saw someone selling some nice G3s at our local flea market a little bit ago. I plan to keep my eye out there and at random yard sales this summer.

Dragonfly, there is STILL no room in my house for these pony-shaped objects!  :-p

[kittybethy]

Awesome!! That is cool!

[CorpseyPuff]

Eternity!  Was that Steel City Con!  If so, I had ambushed that same seller the show before and took about 50 off of his hands!  I pretty darn close to finishing off my entire G3 collection because of him!

[EvilMuffins]

I wish! G3s are super rare here! It's still more common to find G1. I think we are stuck in 1995 lol

I am coming to live where you are! Very jealous

[Clipper]

i honestly think that G3's were more mass produced then the g1 line.. also more people today kept them boxed.. But, it is likely values will go up in the future.. I've seen some already starting to rise on ebay lately.
