LIVE! - Disneyana Show and Sale
Merryweather said:
Well, nothing really sold for now. There are so few pins listed anyway. There was one pre-sale of the castles for $299.99 on July 14th, but that is about it.

I think the high quotes have to do with low LE size, Jessica being Jessica and this being a special event.

I fear what is to come for D23 next year.

The person who listed this as a pre sale was not able to get the pins and therefore ended their second listing early and refunding the original auction. Again, these are NOT UP pins, they are Castles with balloons. In a fashion of UP style. I am going to sit and wait until everyone gets home and underbids everyone as these are prices they might be and not what they currently are. Remember everyone that got these has two pins to sell.

I have some bad news about the Jessicas, someone who's at the event told me that the re-sellers there are asking $150 a pin. So for those of you who thought that $600 was a lot for the set, add an additional $300. Nearly $1000 for pins 6 pins that came out just a few hours ago.
 
Grim, word at the event is that people are cheating at your balloon game, hiding their balloons, some are even taking them to their car. Not my call but you might want to do a head count and eliminate anyone who isn't present with their balloon.

Why spread rumors, they are ASKING not that they are getting these prices. If you actually seen these, they are rather small and do not warrant the prices they are asking for. If your a Jessica collector, wait for the dust to settle. These pins are in most part in the hands of collectors and not eBay sellers. Yes they are on eBay but only because the newbies are in it for the quick profit so if you don't feed them - they won't eat.
 
We had the ability to see all of these in person very closely... They are very nice, but we were disapointed in their size... small compared to many of the older top end Jessica Costume series pins... They in my opinion will eventually average about $80 each with one reaching a maximum of about $150... and the $150 one is basically the Tower of Terror... The hype will drop and value will balance out if you are patient... Now in our thoughts as well... The Castle pins were georgeous... Very Large and detailed... If we had to choose one set, it would have been the castles, and it was without a doubt Jessica before we saw the actual pins in person... Just sayin... wow...
 
I'm not spreading any rumors, someone who is there told me this is what they are selling for, I never said anyone was buying them for these prices. And I certainly never encouraged anyone to pay these kind of prices to get them. I'm the first person to tell people to wait.

I saw plenty of the balloons floating around and Grim'ing them from each other. Then the groups split into 3 as some were in the two rooms and the others were in the MOG line. As time went on and people got disappointed about not buying retail and not buying on the tables for a reasonable price, I know some just left the Event with their balloons and others just gave up since they were there from reported times of 9 p.m. the day prior. The game should have ended earlier. Maybe around noon or 1? The Event closes at 5 and that is a long time to look at items that are nice but as most in the early morning lines were pin collectors not Disneyana collectors.

At the event. Dealers who either purchased the pins themselves or bought them off of other people are asking $150 a pin. Yes it is greedy, and hopefully no one is buying them at that price.

OMG!!! You mean people sold them right there and right then ??? Oh poor people, they will come home and see the same pins sell much cheaper on Ebay. This is a new level ... Some people show real class :lol:

I'm sorry, I wasn't attacking you, I was just stating a fact that you constantly put these people down and they look like very professional individuals . I just got out of the hospital and I just thought of all your attacking on them, when I saw their pictures . I don't know why I would think of you . Is it because of all the attacks you made against them . Attacking would be personally bashing you . If I offended you, I'm sorry, wasn't even thinking clearly when I wrote this . Very disoriented yet .

Oi Debi, hun' !! It is break & rest time for you. Shiny metals and forum will be there tomorrow too. Just take care of yourself. What good are pins if you are miserable??

I am not after the castles though, I am trying to get the Jessicas because hubby wants them. But we all know that the sun will still shine even if we do not get them :)
