Hello, everyone. My name is Jill. I'm 33 and have loved MLPs since I was a child.
I had quite a bit of pony toys growing up. When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I discovered eBay and doubled my collection. (This was a time before PayPal so there were a lot of checks and money orders, lol). I focused on G1s. The rare ones, the ones I'd never gotten as a child, and some *gasp* International ponies! I was floored when I found out they existed.
When I moved into my own house, I displayed them in a hutch, but space started to get cramped and they ended up in storage totes.
I really do love them. They bring back fond childhood memories, and I remember the excitement I felt when I got each one. With that being said, I don't foresee myself having them on display again. I've wavered on what to do with them for a few years now, and I think it's finally time I give them new homes.
It makes me really sad because I'm a sentimental person and I have a habit of projecting human emotion on inanimate objects (thanks mom and dad), but they'd be better off enjoyed by someone else than stuck in a tote in the back of my closet for all eternity.
So that's why I'm here. Nice to meet you all!
