Yay, nothing!  :cheer:

I've found... a minty Snippy for 50c, Baby Tiddleywinks for a quarter, and I once got a handful of G1s for 25-50c apiece. (Wigwam, Flower Bouquet, Sweet Stuff, Quackers, Tropical Sea Breeze, Sherbert, and Baby Tappy.) I also just the other day found a Starshine plush for 50 cents.

(Tomorrow I'm going to try to go the the Goodwill reopening, then this weekend I want to check out the antiques/gun show. I'm looking for something that starts with p and ends with ies, and if you guess pies you're wrong.  :silly: )

Nothing too crazy... a working Sweet Talkin' Pony at Savers for, I think, $1.50. I've found a few other G1s but nothing really uncommon- Windy, Firefly, Blossom, etc.

Edit: Just remembered I also found the Wishing Well porcelain figurine for a few dollars at the same store!

The best I've ever found was a brown My Pretty Pony.

But seeing other people's good finds gives me hope for that one glorious day...

I love threads like this. So many drool worthy finds! Here are two of mine:

I found this Tootsie Coin Bank for .25! I was browsing a large rummage stall at a local flea market and was looking through the toy section. I didn't have much hope because I'd only ever found some manky G3s there. As I was turning to leave, I spotted her sitting on top of a pile of dolls. I nearly tripped several times trying to get to her and I had a death grip on her until I paid the guy running the stall.

I also found this lot on Craigslist for $100. It included TAF babies Sugarberry and Dancing Butterflies, a complete Princess Tiffany and Pearly Baby Surprise. The best part was all the ponies looked new off the card.

Other highlights are my SS Twilight (w/ pink hair!) for .25 from a local thrift shop, two FS Applejacks for .50 a piece and some really cheap BINs on eBay in which I got SS Angel, TAF Buttons and Brazil Sugarberry.

I have never found a pony in a second hand store. I can't complain though, because I very seldom visit that kind of stores. There are two second hand stores near me. The first one almost never have any toys and the other one only have toys and other children's stuff, and I'm embaressed to visit it because of that.  :blush:
