When I was a kid, I had 2 of him! Gave one to a friend.
He is wonderful, very well made, I adore him!!! 

[DazzleKitty]

I want him. The last one I saw for sale is just too expensive for my tastes. Is he really worth over $100?    I can see around $70 maybe.

I need him and Cha Cha the Llama to complete my pony friends. Well, I could use an upgrade on Creamsicle too, but she can wait.

according to blue roses price guide
Oakley                                   $48.13  (July '10: $60.00/Sept. '10: $29.88)
Cha Cha (llama)                     $49.61   (April '16: $86.18/Sept. '10: $35.51)

that is what they are at right now or do a complete listings for a finding of their current ebay prices.

[LadyMoondancer]

I think those prices are a bit old . . .  the ones I'm seeing in the "sold" part of eBay all went for at least twice that much, sadly for those who don't have him yet.  Two of them sold with BINs of more than $140.  :0

[DazzleKitty]

Wow, looks if I ever want to get him, I'm gonna have to pay a hefty sum. I remember back in the day when he was only around $30. But hey, that was back when I was in grade school sneaking on eBay when I shouldn't.

[Taffeta]

Oakly and ChaCha have always been a bit pricier than the others. Of course, that's why they're also the ones in my sister's half of the collection. I like Oakly but I don't need to buy him. I'll just swipe my sister's if I need to take a photo.

As for his gender, I think it matters for the sake of accuracy. People are free to have their own personal opinions and such within their own collection. A poll isn't a personal opinion, so it should be 'he' and that's why people corrected it. I don't think anyone was making a major gender statement about it

[pinkkittywinks]

I wasn't a fan of the pony friends until a few years ago.

Oakly is on my wish list

Love pkw xxx

You guys realize that I usually post these really quickly while I'm on break at work... So most of the time I'm not concentrating on the gender of those ponies or friends that are a bit more difficult to differentiate. Apologies if I offended anyone...

why should we really care about gender anyhow? It shouldn't matter if I think per-say my ponies are all girls and the boy ponies just boys? Or vice versa. I think my Oakly is a she. If they made an Oakly in darker colors it would of matched better with their personality being a male. Also, I dont think it was your intent to offend anybody either. 

[northstar3184]

Pass. I don't care for the pony friends.

[himmie]

Well I missed voting but definitely army.

Two are from childhood, one from a Craigslist lot a few years ago for $10 and the others from lots.

Aww, you have a Baby Oakley! How cute

[LadyMoondancer]

Oh, I wasn't offended at all, I just wanted to share the knowledge that Oakly is officially male.  If people want to genderswap him, that's cool by me.  But some people might get a kick out of having an officially male pony (or moose) in a toyline where male characters are uncommon.

mlp4me made the baby.

I love moose and boy ponies so this guy works out well with my collection.

So something from this year is a bit old? I update my pricing every month and if you look 2016 is this year... everything with an asterisk is current. BTW... I don't deal with BINs, only auctions.
