OK, I have been thinking about this for quite while now. Here are my thoughts. I was able to eliminate The_Mad_Stitcher as I realized that her pins were not s difficult to get as the other twos pins were. That made the true battle between liverpoolace and Pin-A-Colada. Here is where it got really difficult for me.
liverpoolace's bid
Pin 29623: Disney Auctions (P.I.N.S.) - Maleficent as Dragon on Castle love this one we like Mallie as a dragon
Pin 2969: DL - Open Edition Character of the Month - October (Maleficent) really like this one it has the DLR castle in the background
Pin 1388: DL - LE Oval Character of the Month - March (Pinocchio) I like this set
Pin 26880: Disney Auctions (P.I.N.S.) - Maleficent and Diablo #2
Pin 27534: Disney Auctions (P.I.N.S.) - Maleficent & Diablo #3
In this bid I LOVED the first pin. I have wanted it for quite a while. The second pin is a GREAT pin and I love it as well. After the first two however my desire for the three remaining pins lessened greatly. While I am really fond of the oval set, Pinocchio is one of the lesser ones on my personal list of desires. The two DA pins were Mallie but we collect her as a dragon so they would be used in games more than likely. (Understand that is NOT a bad thing)....
Pin-A-Colada's bid
Pin 33304: Disney Auctions (P.I.N.S.) - Stitch as Goon
Pin 61037: DLR - Disney Dreams Collection - Dumbo
Pin 72923: WDI - Milestone pin #4: Hitchhiking Ghost/Haunted Mansion 1969
Pin 93287: DLP - Princess Heart-Shaped Jewel Series - Rapunzel
Pin 94004: WDW - New Fantasyland - Grand Opening - Under the Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid
Pin 94312: DSF - Beloved Tales - The Great Mouse Detective
Pin 95099: Princess Carousel - Mystery Set - Snow White
Pin 94958: DLR - 2013 Hidden Mickey Series - Wilderness Explorer - Puzzle Solving

Pin 94962: DLR - 2013 Hidden Mickey Series - Wilderness Explorer - Wolf Howl
Now with Pin-A-Colada's bid the break down went like this for me... Getting a BT pin is ALWAYS a plus in my book so that was the first hook. Then to follow that up with a GREAT Disney Dreams pin of Dumbo was hook number 2! The Stitch as a Goon has a sentimental attachment for me, The HHG pin is cool because it has the year behind them of when the attraction opened, The carousel pin is wanted by both myself and my friend Kelly whom I get pins for all the time and the 3 HM pins well, while they didn't influence the decision any, they complete that set of my 2013 hidden mickey pins! Truthfully the rest of the offer were traders or for games but as I said before ... that is NOT a bad thing.
Once I broke everything down I decided to go with Pin-A-Colada! I will miss not getting the Mallie dragon but if I am meant to have it it will come back to me someday. Until then, I will just admire it from afar.... Congratulations!
