We all know why we collect. The joy of finding that special pony. The nostalgia that comes with rediscovering a pony we cherished as a child. That moment of "OMG I GOT THEM ALL!"
But why do you sell ponies? What makes you decide that now is the time to sell some of your collection?
I know we all have our stories. What's yours?
Here's mine:
I've collected MLP for my whole life. When the G3 first came out, I was 18, with 2 jobs, and a lot of disposable income. I saw it as a chance to regain some of the ponies I had gotten rid of a couple years previously to my young niece. Friends and family got them for me as gifts too. I never opened any of them, just displayed them gleefully all over my room.
Now, I'm almost 27, married, with 2 girls. I haven't collected MLP for a while now. We got a bunch from my sister after her daughter outgrew them, but they've been well loved. My girls play with those. The ones I collected remained in storage for years, until two days ago.
My husband lost his job last Tuesday. Between the 2 of us, we've got a lot of various collectibles. I'm not as attached to the G3 ponies as my G1, or even the G4, so that is the first thing I decided to price and sell.
Even though I'm selling them because my family needs the money, it makes me happy to think that they will be going to homes with people who will truly love them. I've always felt bad about having to keep them stored.
So there's my story! I hope you share yours!!!
