How'd I do? Flea market finds
« on: May 01, 2015, 05:33:33 PM »
Well, I did some heavy duty shopping today at a mega flea market.  I managed to come home with 14 ponies.  Tell me how I did!  Some of the G3 I am not familiar with so if you know a little about them let me now.

These first three I got for $3 a piece.  Was the one with the crown a store exclusive?  Also, who is the third pony?  I don't recognize her at all.  Is her symbol wings?

I got these two for $2 a piece.  Is the purple one special?  She is ringing bells but I can't place her.

These two were a $1 a piece. Is the barrette original?

These I got for $2.50 a piece.  I plan on keeping one of the Embers and Baby Moondancer and re-selling the rest because I already own most of these.

Lastly, the camel (name?) was $10.  She also had Zigzag and Dreamsicle? (Giraffe) for the same price.  I left them behind because I already owned both of them.  Would they have been worth picking up for re-sell at that price?

$3 for the G3's might be a tad high, but it's not bad.  And those are great prices for the G1's.  I think for the camel too.  And yes, the gum barrette is original to that pony (I'm blanking on her name a the moment).  :)

fun finds. agree with fardreamer about the g3's but the other ponies make up for it.
let me know if you decide to sell the other ember. the one with the star is the only one i'm missing of those.
or i'd be happy to trade too.

The third pony in the first picture is Flutter Butter and the middle pony was part of an exclusive set with two other ponies and a castle.  I actually don't think $3.00 is a bad price for her.  The pony with the barrette is Pretty Pop.

Nice finds!

Crystal Lace, Royalette, Flutterbutter

No idea, Toola Roola (25th anniversary "Creativity")

Pretty Pop, Serendipity(?) (Not 100% sure on that one)

Some very pretty g3s and some nice g1s too. And $10 seems a good buy on Spunky the Camel, too.

Nice haul! :)

The middle one in the first picture is Royalette. She was a Target exclusive and came with a vanity and a bunch of accessories. The third one is Flutterbutter, who was part of a Toys R Us exclusive four-pack.

In the second picture, the purple one is Twinkle Hope. She was specially made to support the Give Kids The World charity.

The G3 in the third picture is Pretty Pop, and yes, her barrette is original. :) She should (theoretically) smell like bubblegum.

IIRC Twinkle Hope is quite sought after!
Also love Sugarberry, Crystal Lace and Pretty Pop. (I would guess that the barrette isn't original bc I have seen her in packaging but who knows.)

Thanks everyone! 

I had mistaken Crystal Lace for a birthstone pony.  I admit that I bought the first G3 at a little higher than I would usually, but I was so determined to go home with something.  It wasn't till later that I found the others.  One booth had the whole set of Inspiration word ponies but I actually own the whole set MIB.  I just wanted "creativity" to go with my art themed ponies.  I also hadn't realized that they had a 25th birthday stamp on the NDS.

I'm super pleased to own Twinkle Hope.  I think she is quit pretty.
