Are Pins really being exploited for profit on Ebay?
Hey everyone,
I am wondering about ebay prices on pins. I have seen a few forum topics about pin prices being radically changed like the Tangled for $20 and the 4 Parks super jumbo for $400. I am wondering if it is just people getting lucky to get pins for cheap or someone really wanting a pin and not really searching for it well.
I finally gave in with advice from Amy and listed pins on my Hubbys ebay account and i have seen very little bidding wars like there used to be in the old days. most sold for first bid and o few sold for 2-3 bids. I am happy to sell them for whatever they get since i named the price and noone bid hundreds on my pins lol. So i dont think that people are in the economic higherarchy to be spending alot on pins.
Does this mean that people are creating fake auctions on ebay to try and adjust the prices?
I sold the 4 parks Jumbo at auction and it sold for $85 so i cant see that someone made hundreds on one. I dont care for tangled so i dont know much about them but i heard they sell for hundreds. Would someone list a fake auction to sell for $20 to try to make them start losing value?
I kind of feel that it may be true. I think it is a good idea for the tangled because you are crazy if you think a pin is worth $400. I mean, i waited 8 years for an entire pin set diorama because i would never pay $400 for it and i finally got it for $48.00. That was a real auction and i got an amazing piece for pittens.
I dont know what to think but would love to know what others think
