As I just posted about how much I've spent, I've been thinking to myself, just when am I going to have enough? They've taken over my apt and I get the constant nagging from the family, you know the usual when are you going to grow up lectures... :roll: My car has been a royal pain these last few years and I was hoping to have graduated by now so I could get a new one (my goal was to have this one last me till then) but that's not lookin too good and I could have bought a new car with the money I've spent on ponies :?

Don't get me wrong, I love my ponies to death and doubt I'd ever sell my personal collection, but every time I say I'm gonna take a break I still find myself unable to stay away from ebay, lol. It just got me thinking to what point am I going to take this collection? I thought I'd be done when I got all the loose ones, I came close, and then turned to MOC's and G3's...

How about everyone else? Do you think you'll ever have the will power to stop? I just can't see myself doing that, lol. But let me tell ya, people going to the MLPfair this July are going to be in shock when they see the massive amount of ponies I'm selling....
 
Had enough? Hummm....I just started! LOL! Only certain G1's and G2's though...
 
Atleast its not drugs, alchahol, or cola.... lol! Everyone has something they obsess about.
 
can't wait to see what you have for sale....But I think that I will be happy when I get all US G1s and mail orders--minus repunzle (sorry sp). I know I will never be able to spend that much money on a pony. 50, 60, even 70, that is one thing; 500,600,700 that is another. I only collect G3 babies and no G2s so that is easy!

Right now, I am working on completing the store released ponies--then I will worry about mail orders.
 
When I move to the other side of the country, I will stop. Haha....
Even right now, I have noo money left from my check to buy ponies, so I'm selling ponies from my collection to buy more ponies! It's a vicious cycle, I tell ya :)
I'm on a nirvana kick right now so I'm selling parts of my US collection to buy nirvanas. I'm sure when I get sick of nirvanas I'll sell them to buy more US ponies.
 
Oh, I have more than enough already! ^_^

If I *happen* to see another one that I like and can afford, she'll come home with me, too!
 
Hm.. I think I have enough, to be honest. I seriously collected for about five months, then realized that I could have put all the money I spent on ponies towards something useful. :D

Sure, I enjoy my ponies, but they're pieces of plastic that don't really do anything. So.. I've stopped, had enough. A very special pony would have to come along for me to justify spending the money on it.
 
I've gotten to where I think I've had enough :) I would really love to get what's left on my G1 and G3 wantlist...and then quit. It's kind of depressing to think about, but hey. I feel very full and satisfied, seeing all these guys on my shelves next to me...and besides, there really isn't room for any more. I feel bad that there's still about 26 G1's on my wantlist and about 10 G3's...and the G2's I guess I just can't touch because of their soaring prices. So yeah...I think I'm pretty much done now.
 
As stupid as it sounds I enjoy the fact I need so many, if it was all over with too quick I would have lost interest a long time ago.
But I collect toys full stop, I collect Jem, Wombles, Blythe, TV related plush, Angelina Ballerina, Frankenberry, Miffy, hand made dolls, Sindy, Chucky and thats only touching the surface :roll: my latest thing is Sylvanians :lol: I just get alot of pleasure from toys and at my age I can't see it changing.
 
I got a lot of extra ponies, not from my want list, into my collection... they didnt gave me so much joy as the ones i relly wanted... i love them too, but isnt the same.

There is only few to go and i ll compleat my list. I can buy more after it but i ll not have as much fun as before.

Sometimes i think i ll sell them all and re-start my hunt O.O cos hunting ponies is fun... but i doubt i would REALLY do it.
 
I am always thinking 'this is enough!' but then I see something else that is sooo cute. It does get rediculous doesn't it? I mean, you see one pony, you've seen em all execpt the different colors.
My Mom harasses me about it all the time. I think she is jealous. So I stop for awhile. Next thing I know I see a lot on Ebay that I just gotta have! It is definatly a terrible cycle.
I can't wait to see what you have at the fair Wysteria!! Will you be taking credit cards??
 
I keep narrowing my list more and more so that I don't spend as much, and even so, sometimes there is a whole load of the ones I really want and I can't help but buy them!
It's addictive!!
 
Sadly, I've had to force myself to "have enough". Money is just too tight right now, so I'm finishing off selling the last of my collection, and then I'm done. I've gone back and forth too many times, spent too much money on plastic toys when I *could* have a hefty down payment on a car or savings for a house, you know? I want to go back to school, too. So for now, I'll have to admire them from afar. I may eventually get the few that are really special to me, but that's it.

Click to expand...

This sounds just like me. Buy a lot of ponies. Mom starts complaining about me "wasting all my money," "they're just toys." So I stop for a while. But I always end up back here again. I guess I'll never "have enough." :p
 
i'm not sure. i had enough until just after the unicorns came out, but i think it was the g3s that kind of... i don't know, took the fun out of pony collecting, almost. i think i may need to give up next year when i finish secondary school and become a broke student :s
 
Never MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

K so maybe not but right now, in my life that's how I feel, we'll see down the road. Though I've noticed my collecting has hit a bit of a lull. I got a lot awhile back (like november or before) and they are still sitting in the box they came in, dirty and in need of a salon day. le sigh, it's like a pony writers block (cleaners block maybe?). But I still am watching items on ebay and have gotten a few more lots, none as big, that I've worked on and are sitting on my shelves right now.
