PTD pricing

[BriV97]

Ok so I was going through eBay and came across this PTD pin of John darling and noticed it was only being sold for $20

Now I know that generally PTD's are resold for usually at least twice what they're purchased for so I was surprised to see this one for so cheap especially being from a popular movie like Peter Pan so I was just wondering if anyone had heard of any fakes of these being made and sold? The seller has 100% positive feedback so idk what to think
Thanks for your help!

I have not heard of any fakes of John Darling PTD. Nowadays most 2014 and later PTDs just don't hold the same kind of value as they used to. I think when they started releasing four at one time and changing the rules so frequently, the PTD train lost a lot of steam, and as a result, PTDs seem to be on their way out as the hottest type of pin. (There are some exceptions of course, but generally most don't get much higher than 35 dollars, and a lot are in the $20-25 range.) The John Darling PTD wasn't very popular when he was released, and stuck around for awhile. Plus he's an LE500, which don't hold nearly as much value over the long term as an LE300 or 400.

In my opinion, $20 for John Darling is a pretty good bargain, but not worryingly so.

As far as faked PTDs, the only ones I know of that are confirmed to have been faked are Zero, Kermit, and a few of the Tinks.

I agree with Timeerkat and every once in a while I will come across a inexpensive PTD for sale. My thought is some people get tired of holding them if they can't flip it or trade it fairly quickly and it's not a major character.
