SOLD! Grails and More to Pay for Medical Bills...

Hello Pin Family

As many of you know, my disability pay is just not enough to meet expenses, let alone pay for the exorbitant medical bills and I just found out that I’m going to have to see some specialists in Boston for about 2 weeks come the end of the month. I’m super grateful to all of you who ordered from my last sale thread and helped me get this far. My dad has been amazing too, but I can tell this is starting to stress him out.

Because the expenses just keep growing everyday and I need to start planning now to cover the costs of the Boston specialists, I’ve decided to open MY ENTIRE COLLECTION AND TRADERS FOR PURCHASE by way of “donationâ€.

I’ll explain what I’m thinking. If you would like to make a “donation†towards my medical expenses, you may select a pin (or more if you like) based on the amount that I will request that you minimally donate to get that pin (I think I made that more complicated than necessary). Anyway, what I am trying to say, is that even though every pin is available, they will be more retail for most of them. This is for several reasons. First, there will be NO SHIPPING CHARGES in the USA. Also, there will be NO FEES ADDED regardless of how you choose to pay. Also, pins will be priced based on emotional, sentimental and replacement value to me because I don’t actually WANT to reduce my collection, I just need to pay my medical bill, I just hope that SOMEDAY I will be able to replace these pins. Because of this, pins that I have that are not actually part of my personal collection will likely not be listed as high (clear as mud?)

Also, to show you that I am grateful to each of you and I appreciate each and every order, I will be including an original handmade piece of Disney Fan Art (and yes, suggestions as to what you would like are welcome!) with EVERY ORDER! If you would like to see some examples of my work, I have started a thread under “Everything Elseâ€. I’m happy to send you a picture for approval, but I am only willing to redo a piece of art once, please remember that I am a NEW artist and although I love my new hobby, I don’t like redoing things a million times. I hope you understand. I am willing to make a Disney Greeting card instead if that is your preference.

Also, because I don’t think it is practical for me to photograph and list a suggested donation price for every pin I own, if you see a pin you would like to know how much I would suggest a donation for, please just ask! You may ask via this thread (please, it will help keep my mailbox clear) or PM.
My preferred payment method is Paypal, but I am not opposed to other options. I will only be shipping out about every 2-3 weeks as I am able to get to the Post Office. Should you need another arrangement an $8 fee will be charged (to cover my friend’s gas and time) and this can be arranged based on your specific needs. Should your order weigh more than 13oz you will be upgraded to Priority mail!

Feel free to look at my pins on Pinpics (Arendelle) and let me know if you see something you would like to see on here. I can list it right away, even if I can’t get a picture for a while.

Thanks in advance for reading this and taking the time to consider this and THANK YOU for your support even if all you can afford is a KIND WORD!:hug:
 
Let me know what Characters/Themes you would like to see first

I will try to have various price points from $10-$1,200

I will also try to post pictures and PinPics#s

So sorry to hear that you have to do this to cover your medical bills.. I hope this thread will be able to help you out!
To kick this off: as it's my main collection, I'd be interested in Beauty and the Beast pins. And I know we agreed on trading pins from DLP for your 2 BATB Mystery Film Collection pins, but if you'd rather sell them I can see whether they fit my pin budget this month :)

Good luck with your sale, and I hope all goes well with the specialists in Boston!
 
Thanks Piglet! You are so sweet! I'll get you prices on those two and just know if they don't fit in your budget, I have two of each of them and I always have pins I want in Paris!

If you could get me a price quote in this gal, I'll see what I can finagle.

Hugs and warm wishes in the meantime!!

I'm so sorry to see you have to let go of your beautiful collection :( but know how it is to live with a disability pay and having a lot of medical expenses. Hope you're able to cover your expenses and most of all that you'll get better :hugs:
Wish I could help but am in the same situation, sending pixie dust and hugs your way <3 please do keep us updated how you're doing
 
Mickeymousje, your kind words are help too. Don't think they aren't. Encouragement is just as important for me these days as "sick days" have dragged into months. I wish you well with your health too. I still often think of your difficult trip to Paris and how you still managed to get everyone the pins they requested, you are such a role model to me. Just the fact that you didn't just call it a day and tell everyone how sorry you were to disappoint them, but figured out a way to make it work amazed me. I will never forget you, a word of encouragement from you means a lot to me. Thank you!

Hi Arendelle! I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a tough patch, financially. :(

I don't think I can afford any grail type pins right now, but I'm interested in pin #40460 from your traders. (Belle holding a book and basket.) Unfortunately, I've never seen it for sale and can't find it on eBay so I have no idea what it's worth. Apologies in advance if I can't afford it!

❤️

So sorry to hear about your health problems! I'm wishing you all good health and luck! If you have any Minnie Mouse pins or Winnie the Pooh pins, I would love to take a look and see if there are any I can give a donation for! Best wishes!!!!!!!!

I went through your pin pics, I am interested in these pins from your traders: Pin #24431 (Minnie as Snow White), Pin #9081 (Minnie as Belle).

Thank you! Just checked your pin update and my budget doesn't allow for them right now - but I will keep an eye on your thread to check your updates of pins, and see what next month brings :)
