Please Show Me Your Best Finds!

[Septima Windsong]

My first big purchase I shared in this previous post - a collector was downsizing, and she just wanted the ponies out of the house, for just €2 a piece!

Besides that, I don't have pictures on hand, but I've been frequenting a local flea market often - they hold it in industrial halls, so it's BIG. So many people come there to sell random junk, and I've managed to pick up so many ponies for just €1 - €3, including a G3 plush! The same experience as @Septima Windsong basically - folks just don't know what they have.

The Netherlands will have a holiday soon celebrating the King and there's always a giant flea market as well. I've come to love this forum very much over the past months, so I'm going to scour the streets and score ponies to trade and sell here!

Too bad that the chance of finding a pony on our flea markets is almost zero. Well, it's probably possible to find a G3 or G4 pony, but not a G1, because G1-G2 My Little Ponies (and early G3s, too) haven't been sold in our country. Even though it's been a while since I've attended a flea market, I've never seen a pony on it. It's very nice of you to look for ponies there to trade and sell later!

I also remembered another lucky find - G1 Lightning. Even though the seller was selling a lot of G1s, she probably didn't know if some of them are rare, so everypony was around $2-3, including him.

I do consider myself lucky! I've found a good assortment of G3's, as well as the odd G1. Even a G1 baby pony once, just in a bin with a bunch of random other toys.

I thoroughly enjoy thrifting and shopping around, so by selling and trading to the pony pals here we both get to be happy
