Welcome to the Name Your Price Swap!

How does it work?
  • Swaps usually list a fixed price range, and it's hard for some people to fit in it, because they may only be looking for HTF/expensive ponies, or because they are only looking for cheap ponies, and don't want to spend a lot. For this swap, *YOU* choose how much money you are willing to spend one *ONE* pony, and I'll try to match you with someone else who has chosen a similar amount.
  • Acceptable amounts are anywhere from $5 to $90. If someone wants to swap under $5 (say, a bait or a common G3), I can probably accomodate them, but I don't want to go over $90.
  • Prices will have a range of acceptable variation, since it's hard to say "a pony that is $10 and only $10). For ponies $10 and under, it will be $3. For ponies $10-$25 it is $5, for ponies $25 and up, it will be $10. This means that if you name your price as $10, the ponies you list/buy can be anywhere from $7 to $12.
  • This swap is for only one pony.
  • Extras are allowed, but no more than $5 worth.
  • All items must be wrapped. Think about it... how FUN is it to unwrap gifts?
  • You can choose to swap with as many as 2 people, but be conscious of how many you want to swap with. Make sure you can afford to prepare all packages with the same standards before you commit to it.
  • Delivery confirmation or receipt of sending is required! This way if something is lost, we're not mad at you, but it will be the post office's fault.
  • When shopping for ponies, keep in mind that ponies should be in as near MINT condition as possible, unless your partner specifies differently in order to make a pony fit within the selected price
  • Send a package that you would be thrilled to receive yourself.

Requirements to join:
  • 1 Month of Active Membership at MLPTP.
  • Minimum 16 years old. We will make exceptions for younger members but they must have a sponsor.
  • Minimum of 50 posts by end of signups.
  • Minimum 5 references for TP feedback (10 if swapping over $50) or outstanding ebay feedback please or TP feedback for 2 successful swaps in the past. Refs must be from trades or people you've sold to!
  • You can buy for up to 2 people but don't take on more than you can handle!
  • You must not have any Negative Feedback on your profile.

How to register?

Send a PM to me by copying the form below.

Name Your Price Swap Registration Form:
  • MLPTP Member Name
  • What's your price(s)?
  • Where can I check your feedback? (MLPTP, ebay, other forums, etc)
  • Full Name and Mailing address
  • Will you ship internationally?

Wishlists:
  • Once you're accepted into the swap, post your wantlist on the corresponding thread in the wishing well or link to the wishlists forum so they're easy to find!
  • Wishlists will be carefully reviewed to make sure that ponies fit in the price you named (Yes, I would also like to believe I can buy a Greek Pony for $15 but it's not feasible). If a pony is not approved on your list, you can email me back and prove me wrong by providing at least 3 completed auction links or WTS TP ads (I will probably check ebay for completed listings to help with pricing, but I may miss stuff, too)
  • Wishlists need to be for at least 10 ponies (or more), or at least close if you can only think of, say 8. Please be sure to list those ponies that fit within the price bracket you selected. If you wish to price check please post in discussion.
  • Then list other things you're interested in
  • Let us know which flaws are totally unacceptable to you.
  • Let us know which flaws are ok with you.
  • Let us know if you are a G3 mint in box collector.
  • List any allergies you might have, as well as your likes or dislikes. Since sending extras is part of this, you want to make sure you receive something you will thoroughly enjoy.

You must PM me when:
  • You have any questions.
  • You want to sign up.
  • You get your swap partner
  • You mail your package (you must include tracking info)
  • You receive your goodies
  • Whenever there are any issues or delays. I understand real life might play tricks on you, and that's OK, just keep me posted so nobody freaks out.

Important Dates:
  • Signups : Closing on April 9th
  • Feedback checking: I'll do it as people register, and will wrap up on April 10th for last minute participants.
  • Swap partner assignment : April 10th
  • International Shipping Deadline: May 11th
  • Domestic Shipping Deadline: May 18th
As you noticed, I'm giving more time for this swap, since the wishlists may be more specific and require more time looking for the right pony in the right price.

Participants:
  • MLPMommy4Life - $15 to $20
  • tsukikakushi - $15 to $20
  • Zaradess - $70 to $90
  • Peppermint Truly - one $70 to $90, and one other to match someone with a lower range that needs a partner

This is an interesting one. I may participate since the shipping deadline is a month and a half away. I haven't participated in a swap in 2 years.. might be nice to do one again. I'll have to think about it and get back to you within the week I think.
 
I'll think about it, I'd love to participate but not sure as I'm not really looking for many brushables. I'm more into blind bags and plushies xD
 
Oh yay, swap time! :satisfied:

I might join this, I was kind of sad I wasn't able to join sweetbabyfizzy's (?) Valentine's swap, but it really couldn't be helped. I have to think about it, though. Still I do have until the 9th to decide, so no rush, I guess. :p
 
How recent do the feedbacks have to be?
I can support current FB on the Arena and Ebay for 2013.

We get to choose our partners? If this is so shouldn't you post the amount next to the participants?

I don't think I really understand how this will work.
 
Feedback doesn't all have to be recent, so you should be ok.
You get to pick an amount and if/when someone else has that one you'll be matched up. You can also have amounts that are not fixed and say something like "I can do a $20 and under or a $40" and I'll check with you before assigning a partner based on the amounts other people have.
 
I suppose I'm in :) Been awhile since I did a good TP swap.
 
I've got a pony on the way, & am trying to figure out extras.
 
Snapped a pony for my partner and hope it's in the condition I eypect. And I also hope it arrives quick. :)

I have a few questions for our little round. :)


Which condition do you prefer for your ponies?
I'm very picky and prefer my ponies in mint/near mint condition.
Age-Spots, Cancer and Regrind are big NO's for me.
I'm okay with writing marks under hooves and slight eye scratches...

What's your Candy Likes?
Junior Mints, Aero Mint, Maltesres, M & Ms with Almonds, any kind of cadbury chocolate and bars, hot chocolate, tea

Any Dislikes or allergies?
Nothing with sugar substitue for me - I can only eat REAL sugar.
I'm also no fan of licorice or Harshleys Chocolate.

Do you collect anything else besides my little pony?
I collect Care Bears stuff , too.
I also like cute things with cats on it and I love socks!!

Your fave ponies?
Sugar Apple, Taf Yum Yum , Sunbust, Powder, Baby Sugarberry



I know lot of questions - but that way we learn a bit more about each other and about our partner. :)
 
Which condition do you prefer for your ponies?
I'm not a super picky collecter. I'm fine with small marks/scuffs, writing under hooves, or rehairs as long as it's that pony's original style & color. Some age spots on ponies super prone to it are ok too

What's your Candy Likes?
Anything fruity, sour, caramel, dark chocolate, payday candy bars

Any Dislikes or allergies?
No allergies, not fond of liquorice or white chocolate.

Do you collect anything else besides my little pony?
Hearses, zombies (I love me a bad zombie movie), craft supplies ;P
Your fave ponies?
Firefly (she's my army of choice), Baby Flicker, Tunefull
 
Which condition do you prefer for your ponies?
I'm very picky about hair. Regrind, etc are bad no nos, too. However, I am more forgiving with ponies that are rarer, if that makes them fit in whatever price range we have.

What's your Candy Likes?
Dark chocolate, coffee, cookies, gummy worms

Any Dislikes or allergies?
Licorice, mint flavored things

Do you collect anything else besides my little pony?
Living Dead Dolls and Monster High

Your fave ponies?
Peppermint Crunch, Truly, Brazil Milky Way
 
I ended up buying two for my partner. I didn't want to be cheap with one. I always buy too much LOL :) I love to be generous. It's fun to be unexpected.
 
I'm making up the leeway in price with some awesome extras ;) The pony arrived already, just waiting on other stuff. & procrastinating w/ wrapping... I'm so bad at it :(
