When you find vintage items at the thriftstore/garage sale/flea market/etc., do you leave anything behind?

No way!  I may not collect it, but another collector may want it!
I only buy things that are the right price
I never leave a pony behind...playsets are another matter...
All the time.  Too many ponies!

My selection really wasn't represented in the poll. I do leave things behind when they are all marker stained, hair cuts or chewed. I have no interest in spending money on those since I do not customize.

I'd never leave G1s or G2s behind, no matter their condition. I often leave G3s behind unless it's one I really want. (Like Fizzy Pop! I bought her yesterday and have been hunting for her FOREVERRR!) Some G4s I may pick up, maybe.

I didn't vote, I wasn't sure what to vote for.  I don't usually buy every pony I see, just if I see one I want that isn't in too bad of shape I'll buy.  I won't buy if the mane or tail is cute super short or limbs are missing.  If the pony just needs a good wash that is fine. :)

I couldn't pass up a G1 if she has a nice body. If she has a haircut, it is my duty to help her!

 :lol:

I love to fix ponies with haircuts. If she's white with marker, I can probably get it out with Remove-Zit. If she's another color with lots of marker, stains, or cancer I would leave her and hope that someone who does customs finds her. I do hate to leave a sad pony though.

If I had the money and found a G1 or G3, it would come home with me. However with one exception, I've never found them. When thrift ing.

So "no pony" turns into "what pony".

In high school and early college, I followed that! Then I moved out on my own and had to start doing the B word (that's right, BUDGET!). Looking back, I probably needed a pony-anonymous meeting  :shocked: I had to quit collecting in '05 and recently began the big downsize to get ready for living in an Airstream (oh, yes!). Actually, I needed a books-anonymous meeting more than a PA...I had like 2000 books... :yikes:

Now I just want to find good homes for my collection LOL

I find sooo many expensive ponies around here that I HAVE to make concessions... or I'd be overrun and flat broke! It's sad leaving ponies behind, but I'm sorry, I'm not paying $6 for a manky core 7 Scootaloo. NO.

I chose "only if the price is right". :P In general, I do buy any G1 I find (which are few & far between), but occasionally I will pass them up if the price is too high for the condition. Sorry, you can keep your $8 tailless, lipstick wearin' Peachy, lol!!

G3's... I usually leave them behind unless I know they're desirable, same with play sets.

Lol this...this was exactly what I was going to type.

Even if they are doubles if they are cheap or priced at their value I will pick them up. But the £20 Applejack...she aint coming home with me. 

However thats not to say that I wont then feel guilty for the remainder of the day/week/month..and sometimes go back to buy said lonely and unloved pony.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

I never leave behind a pony!  I don't take home the playsets, though lol.  Don't have any room for those :-P

Well, I hardly ever find ponies anyway! If it's a G1 I almost always buy it, unless the price is ridiculously high. G3's I will leave if they are common, in bad shape, or again, if the price is high. I will also almost always pass on McDonalds ponies, Core 7 G3's, G3.5's, and the Mane 6 for G4, unless I ever find a Fashion Style Applejack, of course. ;)
