Does anyone know what these Jumbos are worth? I know that they are some people's most wanted. I have seen some on ebay at a buy it now price of $115! And some atm are at $50 each.

I have all except Aurora - paid £12 Jasmine, roughly around £5 for Cind and Belle and for Ariel I paid £10

And why are they so expensive? They have no LE size ? What are they valued at

I only have one of the princess storybooks so far (Jasmine), which I got for $20 on the Bay.

I've seen others listed at reaonable prices ($30 - $40), but at the time was not in the financial position to be able to grab them. I have no idea why some people list them at $60-$150, because they NEVER sell. No one is willing to pay that much for them, so they just sit there, month after month.

I do have all of the other Storybook Jumbos. Here is what I paid for them:
[pinpics]51699[/pinpics] Peter Pan's Flight: (This was the hardest to find, and the last one I got) $40
[pinpics]52002[/pinpics] Pirates of the Caribbean: $20
[pinpics]52155[/pinpics] One Little Spark: $30
[pinpics]53872[/pinpics] Shark Bait: $15
[pinpics]54091[/pinpics] Where the Balloons are Filled with Magic: $30
[pinpics]54772[/pinpics] The Forbidden Mountain: $30
[pinpics]55723[/pinpics] Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: $25
[pinpics]56143[/pinpics] The Haunted Mansion: $10
[pinpics]56772[/pinpics] Finding Iguanodon: $20

Now, keep in mind that I was actively looking for these pins everyday, because this is what I collect. So when I saw one at a good price, I grabbed it. If you aren't searching often, you can expect to pay more than I did.

I've seen the Aladdin and Jasmine one sell anywhere from $17 to $27. I hope that helps!

Wasn't the original price for the Storybook jumbo $45? I think that's what someone mentioned to me. I traded rack pins and one LE pin (I think 3-4 total) to come up to $45 to trade for that pin.

EDIT: BTW, I got the Storybook Jumbo Belle in its original box.

Their original price 5 yrs ago was $35 and they are LE 1000 it seems. So, unless it is auction style, people would lile to get out at least the original price maybe?

I'd imagine Ariel and Belle would go higher than others though.

I think also, after their original release, they might have been sold at a CM pin party. I have the Belle one, and I don't normally get Jumbos unless my Mom can pick them up at a sale. So depending on when someone originally obtained it, they might have a different perception on value.

I have the Aurora one and I think I paid around $15 - 25 for it (I can't remember, this was like 6 months ago); under $35 for sure. I've seen lots of ebay sellers try to sell pins BIN for ridiculous prices. I'm guessing they're hoping we're idiots and don't see other of the same pins selling for much lower prices.

I think they did go on sale at the outlets for real cheap. I want to say $10 or something like that. Of course, since they have sold out now they are harder to find. I'd guess a fair price today would be $20-$25 ish.
