I haven't done many purchases since I've started collecting, but I've bought from Ponyology, one lot of ponies on Amazon (which I was really surprised to see) and a couple ponies from Ebay. Hopefully I can find some in the local fleamarket whenever I go there again.
About Ponyology - I've read right here on the arena that the seller isn't to be trusted, but it's been several years since the problem and she was very professional about it all. I bought a really good condition Sprinkles from her. I'm a little proud of her since I've seen many examples of what can go wrong with that particular pony.

eBay, arena, thrift stores and occasionally flea markets.  Sometimes trades.

I also buy new from Target sometimes.  :)
Sales on HOLD!
Pony sales!

I've heard there's a lot of of trouble with Ponyology. It's good she;s working it out though!
Her ponies are a little too rich for my blood though, lol.

Is there a thread with others' ecrater or such stores? I'm getting my first pay check next week and I kinda want to treat myself haha~

No we dont have a general thread with links - a lot of people advertise them in their signatures or simply promote them in the sales forum with their own threads. I would scroll through those to find out :)
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

Mostly the Arena, occasionally eBay and Etsy. I don't buy ponies from thrift stores often, but that's only because I seldom see any there.
Looking for these two little Soma fakies:

I buy from Wal Mart, K-Mart, Ebay, here and Hasbro. I don't have much luck with second hand stores. I did find that NIP Baby one though :)

Vintage or older gen ponies always come from thrift stores and I buy most of my G4s from Target.

The Arena, Ebay and markets, occasionally thrift shops, but they're getting to be a rarity there! New ponies I generally get from Big W or Target, but occasionally Kmart, Mr Toys/Toyworld or TRU.

Ebay (usually the French or us sites, as Australian mlps tend to get rather sunfaded) and Gumtree. Also the Australian and NZ Facebook group.

I collect G4 and I get my ponies from:
Local department stores, friends online (some US exclusive stuff), Ebay, Popcultcha, Hot Topic and Amazon (US, UK and Germany)

The few older generations items I've gotten from local (Finnish) auction/selling site.
