Hooray ponies- round 2
« on: March 19, 2014, 07:49:31 AM »
The local lady who is selling me ponies found another box. She still has at least one more box in her garage. Unfortunately her prices keep going up as she "researches" on Evilbay so I only bought a little less than half. She wanted $85 for Oakley because of a $120 BIN that's been on ebay forever. I want to see what else she has, her daughter had a huge collection as a lucky kid, but at the same time I'm getting tired of this seller. She's just about maxed out what I'm willing to spend on a person just selling off her kids toys taking up space in her house. Her daughter told her to just throw them out in fact. The daughter doesn't even want her own little girl to have them for some reason even though she took care of them as a kid and they are pretty clean and in great shape.

I grabbed all the boys she had

Tic Tac Toe was one of the only ones that had a haircut, wonder if the daughter got it second-hand as a kid. I rehaired one of my baby Tic Tac Toe manes once just using a little hair from tails of adult ponies who matched. Twin is Tumbleweed.

Satin n Lace was $10. So random. Because she underpriced her, I got the overpriced valentines twins, or I would have left them.

Random adults I took because they were not overpriced and they weren't the super common ones, except Trickles who is common, I just like her. It took me a long time collecting before I started finding the year 3 rainbow ponies. I think this girl had the whole Stocking holiday party set with the rainbow ponies that came with the offer.

Sea Ponies, bathtub-free. They had also found another float, a barrette, some pink bows off a playset and some pony wear they threw in for free because I had bought all their playsets.

Lovely ponies, congrats! What a great find to get so many nice G1s in person :) Sounds like the seller needs to understand the difference between online and yard sale pricing though!

Oooh, more ponies! It sounds exciting to see what she has each time. At least some are less than what you'd pay online.

they are only worth what people are willing to spend. Just because someone has it for $120 on ebay, doesn't mean they're aren't ten others at a fraction of the price.

Congrats on the haul though!

Sorry about the prices, some people just like to use what they see on eBay as a benchmark even if that's not what people will pay! :( Still, an awesome haul, especially the bathtub-free seaponies--you definitely don't see those often!
