Huge craigslist score!
« on: November 17, 2015, 04:09:50 PM »
Last week, I got an email stated this man had 400ish G1-G3 ponies, many G1 playlets, and other misc pony items. I took the drive up there Friday with my grandpa and I was stunned.

Some highlights of the lot:
Near complete Lavender Dream Castle
Complete set of big brothers, with all accessories.
Large Hushabye baby
TWO Paradise Estates - one of them near complete.
THREE Show Stables
TWO complete Lullaby Nurseries
and of course lots of ponies!

The man was very nice when we arrived. He had everything out and ready. While we were loading, he helped and told me about the ponies and things. He told me they were all his, he bought most of them himself in the store in the 1980s and they were his childhood ponies. He smiled as he told me how he was there when he saw MLP transform generation by generation. And when I left, he was smiling but teary eyed, my heart was broken. When I got home I texted him everything was unloaded and thanked him again. He asked for pictures of my pony room and then thanked me for giving his ponies an awesome home! Although most of the ponies are doubles to me, I will be rehoming them to other amazing pony homes :)

Anyways, here is the truck, it almost didn't all fit. Glad my grandpa took me with his massive truck, I almost drove up there in my tiny mustang to pick everything up! That would've been tragic.

I paid $600 for this lot, and it was so worth it! I still can’t believe it!
Some will be for sale in the future, please, do not ask for items.
Thanks for looking :)

OMG I would LOVE to come across a huge lot like that.  The man you bought them off sounds lovely. I'm glad his ponies will all be going to good homes.

Huge congrats to you :D
