None. I don't do "upgrades", if I buy a pony then that's it I buy 'em in the condition I like, if they're not available in that condition then I wait to buy. Only exceptions I can think of is if I somehow end up with two of the same pony, I do usually compare them to see which is in better condition, but even then if I've had the first one longer then I'm more likely to keep that - I'm a sentimental sort, haha.

I wish I could be more sentimental. Also I look it from a community standpoint. If I can help someone get a nice pony that they may like better than I do Im all for letting the pony go. Or I think I just like to gather the most perfect pony for my herd. Though they do have their flaws. I still have a Bangles with an age spot by her neck. Sometimes the newest one doesn't come along.
well, like I say, I buy them in the condition I prefer anyway, so in the like.. two situations where I've gotten an extra there hasn't been much difference between them anyway, or the extra has been the worse one, so tbh sentimentality doesn't really play much of a part in it anyway, lol.
I upgrade but I do not replace. In short, I keep the first of any pony I ever get, and then if they are not in very good shape, I will try and get a display version as well. But the original doesn't get booted out. I have a very battered Truly which I actually have entirely because of who she came from and she gets to be on display because her story is a bit sad (she came from a pony collector whose parents divorced and whose father sold all her ponies after kicking her and her mother out of the house. She wasn't allowed to play with any of her ponies, except Truly, who was obviously well loved. So now Truly stays with us, because she can't stay with her original pony 'Mummy')I think many battered ponies have stories behind them, and so I don't feel I can part with them. I think sometimes people are way too quick to discard battered ponies and worse, even rip them up or use them for customs when they are not really as terrible as all that. So some of them have a sanctuary here by dint of being our collection "originals". I am still looking for a really minty Taffy and Twilight SS. I would love the MOC option if it was affordable, but I am satisfied with a good loose one. Even if that happened, though, the original beat up pair came from a precious trade partner who has sadly long since left this earth. So they stay regardless. And I just hope to offer a home to another pony instead of "upgrading".Of course, this is not great for space...
