Do you prefer to buy ponies seperately or in lots?
« on: June 19, 2016, 08:56:34 AM »
I have several G1s and G3s I'd like to sell - no rare ones, but there are a few that are either popular or uncommon. (G3 Lavender Cloud, for example.) But I'm not sure if it would be better to list them in lots or one by one.

I don't expect to sell any until after the fair - I just want to know how to organize them ahead of time so I can have them ready to go when I do list them. c:

In general, people who buy lots are looking for a good deal.  Those who buy singles are after specific ponies they're missing.  If you're looking to sell quickly with less overhead, lots are more efficient. For maximum individual value, sell singles.

Lots. They tend to be less expensive per pony and surprise you sometimes.

I would buy in lots but, I dont have many G1 Us ponies on my want list as so much per-say like G3s or G4s. I could buy those in lots. I have had to be more selective now on what Us ponies I need. I would buy the Uk ponies in lots but the price probably would kill me. ><:

I look for singles because I'm only interested in certain ponies/sets.

I prefer singles, as I am mainly looking for certain ones.

I used to be all about buying lots, but now I have most of the ponies I wanted (because I'm mostly into common ponies, like Year 2 stuff).  So now I try to buy individual ponies, because it's a pain reselling all the ponies I don't need.

However, as a buyer I do pay more for individual ponies than I would in a lot.  I've made my peace with that, though. ;)

When I had the time I loved buying lots. I'd keep what I wanted then sold the rest to earn back my money... cuz with lots, the price per pony is usually lower.

Depends.

Usually, I like to buy lots because they're fun to go through.  But lately, I've only been after certain ponies so I've been buying singles.

Separately or in very small lots of 2-5 so I can share/trade. But mostly separately.

I like buying lots of ponies more, there's just something about knowing you have a bundle of tiny plastic horses coming your way that's so friggin exciting lol
You could even do like a few small lots, depending on how many ponies you're selling

I prefer buying ponies separately as would much rather just buy ones I've active seeking. Works better for me that way instead of ending up with ponies I already have or have no interest in. Would much rather leave lots for others who are looking for them. :)

Depends on my mood and the prices. If a lot has something I want and feel like pony spa time it's worth it. If I just want one in particular without the hassle of other stuff then singles.
