I always end up with lots of ballerina ponies and happy tails left unsold when I list on ebay (especially Tabby... no one loves her!)

The sundazzle SHS set is also hard to move, as well as the 10th anniversary Birthday pony.


Who do you find are the most unloved?

Maybe because it was MIB but I sold my tabby MIB for over $120. I really like her too :)

As a (G1/G3) buyer, I have to say any pony who has a "haircut".

Frilly and crazy manes aren't a problem for me, a little wash and brush and they're good; but a haircut, can't fix that unless you rehair them! 

This one person at the flea market had Cupcake, Cotton Candy and Goodie Goodie all with mohawk haircuts, they were in very good condition otherwise.

I have a really hard time moving the following:
Bbe baby cuddles
Baby stockings
Pony bride
Blossom
Cotton candy
Glory
Peachy
Lemon drop
Parasol
Sprinkles with the weird rooted mane
Sundance

I usually just pop them all in a lot on eBay and they go No problem. But trying to sell them individually is pain staking.

I've never tried to move loose G3 ponies by them selves, because I fear the outcome, I always sell mine in lots on eBay unless I have someone who is not so common. I only own three G3.5 ponies one which I purchased in store and the other two picked up second hand, but I do not plan to sell them because they are kinda unique.

Another one near impossible to sell is g2 common release morning glory. I had 9 of her at one time priced at $1.00 each they sat forever before I just started popping them randomly in lots on eBay.

I don't do a lot of selling, so I don't really know. I've been known to just give ponies away. lol. I just had to come in and chuckle because so many people are saying G3.5, and a G3.5 is the first pony I went after after ending my buying hiatus. lol

Of the G1s, I have the hardest time selling Cotton Candy.  She's just so common, I think most collectors have her already.

I can never seem to sell extra Dance & Prance ponies. :huh:

Any Poor-Fair condition collectors pose ponies (except like birthflowers).
I look for not-so-great collectors pose ponies to be Pony Wear models. I really like the simplicity of their pose, and so many outfits are great at hiding flaws. :heart:

I can see why the ballerina ponies would be hard to sell, I don't think they're ugly, but nothing about them just screams "YES"
But yeah, nobody really cares for G3.5, the best way to get rid of them would probably be to put them in a G1 lot XD

I don't have my sales listed yet, but I imagine the playsets will be hard to move. *sigh* Quite the pile to clear out too.

I'm excited because shipping isn't too bad between the UK and Canada... Maybe I can buy some stuff from you!

I find common g3s the worst, also G1s in really unusually amazing condition because people dont want to pay that much.
