So to me it depends: do you want the majority of these ponies? Would you sell those that you didn't? It's not a small sum of money, you're right, but in terms of value for money it's a good deal. Really up to you.
I can identify all of these ponies, I think! I wonder if 'Kisscurl' might equally be Posey, since they're in the same pose? But, now that I zoom in, she has lilac eyes - Posey has green! Good catch! Going right to left, here's who I see: Daddy Apple Delight Kisscurl NC/No Country Daddy Bright Bouquet Mommy Apple Delight TAF FifiNSS/Movie Star Wind WhistlerSunlight Magic Message Cloud DreamerBanana Surprise Babies: Baby Cuddles Baby North Star Baby Bowtie, UK/euro exclusiveNewborn twins Sticky and SnifflesBaby Apple Delight BBE Baby Half NoteNewborn Twin SnifflesBaby Fifi Seapony - UK/Euro Pearly Baby Waterlily This last one was actually REALLY TOUGH for me to ID, because I know so little about baby seaponies, I didn't even realize there might be variants from the UK/Europe! She's so cool! http://www.ponylandpress.com/europe/uk/babysea.shtmlSo if you take those names, and plug them into Bluerose's eBay price generator, you'll get the average eBay price for them - in America. It's not a ton of help to you in Britain, especially since the UK exclusives go for more money here, but less there I'd imagine. http://www.angelfire.com/oh5/bluerose9978/PRICE/Ultimately, it comes down to whether you, personally, think it's a good deal. I mean, 90 pounds is a lot of money for toys, especially for a student! Me, personally, I'd rather wait around for a better deal, but I also have almost all of those ponies. Even when I needed them all, though, I might wait, because with only a couple 'uncommon/rare' ponies in there, I think you could do better cruising on eBay/watching for other lots, or wait for the price to drop on this one. But, there's also a few buildings in there! ... IF you have the room for them, LOL! It's a lot of very personal variables, so I'm not comfortable saying "definitely yes" or "definitely no" on this one. Best of luck with your decision!
I'm happy to help! You get faster and faster at IDing pieces of ponies, especially after years of hunting for hidden gems in eBay lots just like this! Especially without the playsets included, I'd say wait for her to drop the price! Playsets are very bulky, and difficult to store due to their flimsy plastic and large, bulky shapes! That said, I still want them, LOL! I'm just waiting for someone to sell theirs locally so I can pick it up and, like you, carry it home on the train, LOL! Such fun!
I recently had to carry my dream castle home on a bus, safe to say I had some looks Just a adult on a bus with a big pink castle, nothing too look at there!
That's the spirit! I'd love to see (or do) that personnaly
LOL, OMG! What a sight!! I took the train home from a recent pony meetup, and although I didn't get any bulky playsets, I DID have to carry home a large, bulky bag with ponies sticking out of the top, LOL!! I imagine I was quite remarkable! I saw a funny comment someone made - they said they carried a boa constrictor in a bag to and from his vet's appointment, and no one even looked twice at the angrily-wriggling bag, LOL! So everyone really is locked in our own thoughts far more than we expect! Still, a big pink pony castle... xD

Even without zooming, the colour of the body suggests Kiss Curl rather than Posey to me. She's a slightly more bananaish shade The ponies look in good shape. Maybe you can negotiate with the seller. I don't think there's anything super rare in there either, not from a UK perspective. I am not sure that UK ponies go for a lower price within the UK necessarily. It should be that way, but reality is a bit different. Because years ago most buyers were in the US, a lot of standards of rarity and even valuations were defined in $ and from this perspective of 'international ponies' and 'US' ponies. So for that reason Baby Bow Tie and Baby Applejack would be more expensive even in the UK than Baby Cotton Candy or Baby Blossom. But Baby Glory and Baby Moondancer would probably cost less here (if someone here had one) even though they were never sold in the UK at all. Weird logic is weird, but anyway The Newborn Twins are called Tuggles and Toddles in the UK by the way. Regarding the baby sea pony - yes, the UK had it's own pearly baby sea pony set. Pricing these is hard, though. Again, the rules above come into play, they generally do sell for a bit more than the US versions or the regular non-pearly set. One thing I will say about that Water Lily is that she seems to have her original curl,, albeit it's messy. That's pretty unusual for a baby sea pony for obvious reasons. (The US one doesn't have curly hair, which seems a lot more sensible...).http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/waterlily.htmFive out of the six pearly sea ponies sold in the UK are UK exclusives, I don't think they were sold in any other country unless they were exported somewhere (but I have yet to hear of someone who remembers the set being sold in their country) but the ones that tend to get the most interest are the three in different poses - Water Lily, Ripple and Sunshower. So she's probably worth a little more than an average US Water Lily without her float.
