for those of you whose childhood pony collection was disbanded and sold at garage sales and whatnot...have you ever found any of your old ponies in the hands of another collector? Ever gotten it back? How did you know? How did you find out about it?

I did chance upon a Sand Digger at a flea market in Singapore and I was wondering to myself, could she be my long lost pony? Well, I lost Sand Digger and Songster when I shifted house..apparently, the movers didn't move over one box of my toys!

Anyway, back to Sand Digger at the flea market....boy was she in a terrible condition! Her dirty matted hair was trimmed so badly and unevenly....she had marker ink all over and there was a gapping hole in her rump! (I wonder what happened!?) Also, she was so dirty that most of her yellow was greyish...The poor pony! I picked her up and pat her and the seller came to me and said, "$15 and you can have her, these horses very hard to find"

WTH?! $15 for such a mangled pony?! Sheesh. You've gotta be kidding?! Anyway, it's almost immpossible to find a nice pony at a flea market in Singapore. Because not many people collect ponies...even mangled ones become so expensive here. I faithfully go to the flea market every Sunday for almost a year and nothing. I've given up on ever finding a nice vintage pony at $0.50 - $1 unline you peeps over in the US! *looks enviously at the Braq Arena*

oh geez! If you ever get over to the states I will take you pony thrifting!

I wish I could go to the states...but guess it's not anytime soon...:( This college graduate is jobless (looking for one :P) and trying to pay off bills! LOL

But I'll be sure to take you up on pony thrifting if I ever do to the states!
