So, have you ever...
I know how this feels! The first time I ever bought a grail (the last time I may add!) The lady was selling this:

Pin 28642 (Featured Artist Scar) For 40$. I didn't know ANYTHING about pins then...and she messaged me and said if I bought her small Lion King pin lot for 8$ she'd throw in something else really nice...

What I got was super awesome! The DSF Cats Scar and Simba pin! (Pin 83850)

So glad you got a great deal!
 
OMG!!! Lucky you!!! It is the holiest indeed! Congrats :)

I want them too :lol: I won't spill the beans though.

You might be the only one who checked and figured it out :) I'm probably being paranoid, so let's go ahead and do the "reveal". My Grail is:

pin46474


Pin 46474: Disney Auctions - Tinker Bell International (Japan)

Last time it went up, it clocked in at somewhere over $300, so it was a very good deal. But even better than that was just the fact that it finally showed up again, and I was able to snag it! It was the last one I needed for that set, too.
 
Huh ... you are lucky that it even showed up, regardless the price ;)

Nah, don't worry. That seller has been around for a long time and (s)he is a solid one. I am sure you will get her safely.

Congrats again :)

I just saw it while checking for completed DA pins and I guessed. I would flip for it ;)

Thanks, and thanks for the tip on the seller, as well. I noticed they're actually very close to me, too.

Were you thinking about snagging the others?
 
I have 2 of them already. I have Mexico and I actually have 2 Hollands (don't ask me why, just pin craze)

I need the other 4, but in due time hopefully :)

That said, if I were to find them like you did, I would probably buy all 4. Pin greed :lol:

I know what you mean...I was tempted to buy all of them just to have a full set (minus the Japan) to trade, but my husband gave me the hairy eyeball...

I do that, too, though...when I fall in love with a pin, and it was hard to get, I tend to buy it every time I see it, and use them as traders. I did it was Patriotic Tink, with St. Paddy coin Tink, the Day of Beauty pins, and these. I guess it's just a combination of figuring they'll be good traders (which they are) and residual feelings of anxiety from when I couldn't find my first one...

I swear, us pin folk...we could make some therapists very rich, if only we didn't spend all our money on pins. :)
 
Also, thanks, everyone, for the congrats, and for sharing your eBay stories! It's not the first time I've snagged a Grail off the Bay, but this one was a great treat! Especially when you go, like, a year without seeing any of your Grails show up...

*eyes open wide *

Trade ?? What trade ?? You mean you have Italy & Morocco to trade ?? I will give you my Belle R/C and a kidney!

I will stalk you :lol:

Last summer someone offered me Morocco for $200 but I did not have the $$ then. I know that hairy eyeball well.

Awesome description! EXACTLY how I felt for 2 pins, the jumbo 101 Dalmatians watching thunderbolt (its NEVER on the bay but was recently and told Disxar to get it ^_^) and a peter pan jumbo this summer. Hope you get more soon but hope our high blood pressure or something doesn't go crazy because of this lol.
 
Awesome find and I am super jealous! :)

I am still missing Japan, Morocco, and Italy and of course those have all sold...I would have snatched any of those up in a heartbeat!
 
CONGRATS...especially since we were bidding against one another the last time...lol! Wish I had known about the others since we still need the Italy and Morocco...but,alas they are already gone...:cry:
