Okay I was wondering where all do you guys 'search' for your ponies? I have been to the local Flea market (nothing), I have been through two different Peddler's Mall which is like an indoor flea market and goodwill, just keep searching them every now and then? I stop through what yard sales I can. I just want to do something for some fun! Any other places I can go check into?
 
You could try Craigslist and Facebook groups for people cleaning out their homes or collectors downsizing their collections, if you haven’t tried that out before! Just be safe and don’t go into people’s homes ^^

Ebay is where I get most of mine. Thrift stores for my g3s. I'm lucky that I have a really, really great thrift store in my area. I'd search as often as you can, I've noticed that they go fast. And yeah like @Wind~Whistler said Craigslist. You can put an ad out there too.
 
I get most of mine on eBay. Some people use social media as well but I have heard bad things. A lot of people get their ponies right here on the MLPTP. Just post a wanted thread or go through the want to sell threads.
 
I've occasionally made attempts at flea markets and such places like that before in the past, but my best luck has been at the (now closed) Toys R Us that used to be in the next town over, and more recently-- Target's had a few gems that I've happened to come across!

As for where else I search, at least online? Typically I invest my time in eBay for browsing, Amazon-- if ever-- I use for putting stuff in a wish-list, and also another development I've been considering, is using this "OfferUp" app to see who's listing pony stuff that I could pick up in-person! (So far, I've got my eyes set on a great deal for that SDCC Equestria Girls Mane-iac that I'm really hoping is still available, fingers crossed!)
 
Looking for ponies in real life is tricky! Thrift stores and antique malls are where I got my ponies before I did eBay in any capacity. It's just a matter of checking often and knowing the area. Goodwill is usually a dud for me.
 
Yeah I've gotten most of the ones I have gotten from Ebay or here(more here than Ebay honestly) A couple off Facebook groups. I just would love the hunt for thrift stores and finding that diamond in the rough- I may go through Peddlers mall in Morehead next weekend and hit the Peddlers Mall in Winchester after work one night. I need to stop at Goodwill and look for some new Scrub pants for work too (I work in a vet clinic) so I may just scope through there while I am there- two different ones(Winchester and Mt Sterling)- I work in Winchester and go through Mt Sterling going home and Morehead is on the other side of my town so it's like a 4 town row.

Let us know if you find anything!!! Hope you can find some ponies.
