Hello fellow DPF'ers,

I'm looking to sell a set if the Brave chaser LE200 pins from the Pixar muster boxes. I'm looking for $200 shipped or $215 to Europe. I would accept offers that include partial trades but only for pins in my signature.
Thanks!


 

I berate people for instantly flipping and then taking those funds and overpaying for other pins. If you can show me an ended auction for all 4 chasers from a trusted seller on eBay at $125 they are all yours. But you can't. You won't make many friends around here with an attitude like that. Personal attacks are cause for infraction around here.
 
Or you could have found one that was highpriced too...

But that wouldn't have helped your argument lmao

(not that I'm sticking up for anyone, but it makes your argument invalid! )

This doesn't make sense, you sell on eBay and are best buds with someone who only goes to new releases to flip pins.

Tell me how many pins have I sold on eBay? 5 since the beginning of the year for a whopping total profit of about $50 over my cost. Get your facts straight before you accuse someone troll! I rarely sell here and I rarely sell on eBay. 6 posts huh? I can see you add a lot of value to the forum.

FYI, I don't sell my pins right away, I don't flip pins the second I get them for cash. I don't presell. I don't offer to pick up pins and then in PM's ask for crazy high amounts. I hold onto my pins, even if the prices are falling, to try first to trade them. I have so many DSF releases from the past. I try to trade but the newbs just want to buy and sell and hardly ever trade which makes it hard for me to keep hording pins from every release. Eventually I, like everyone else, have to sell a few. And you weenies think it's ok to come and attack me in my BST ad? That is against the rules first, but also way off base. I still have a full set of Oz pins. Why? Why don't I dump them? I would rather trade. I trade at least 8 times a week on Pinpics. I have almost every PTD for trade from the last 4 months except a few I couldn't make it to on my own. I'm not flipping them. I'm not there pushing DSF to release Kevin. I never list a DSF pin within a week of buying it. I don't buy excessively beyond my 1 and a trader or two. I don't need to make money off pins for a living or to supplement my income. I do just fine.

Also, I assume you are referring to Killian when you say my "best bud." Killian is a friend yes. He resells yes. He pays people to stand in line to buy pins yes. But you know what else he does? He TRADES!!! He has zero emotional attachment to pins, it's a business to him. So once you know how to trade with him you can get pins from him. I can take 3 pins that don't trade well but sell for $60 and get a $55 pin from him no problem. He is making $5 on the swap and I am getting a $55 pin for 3 pins when everyone else wants a single $70 pin in trade for it. I missed getting the Pascal pin trader delight and no one would trade one to me but Killian. He is a resource I have to rely on for pins I cannot get because he is level headed and he trades fair. I wish more people would trade like he does, break it down to value. We both use eBay usually to value our pins and we agree on values very easily. So many people buy a pin for $15, it's selling on eBay for $50, but they want $65 in trade value for it, and usually won't let you piece together 3 or 4 pins. Heck, Killian will let you trade him 25 hidden mickeys for it, he doesn't care that it's Stitch, Rapunzel, Jessica. He cares about dollars. I commend him on his ability to stay true to his purpose.
He doesn't favor one person over the other. He doesn't hold pins for people who will never get that grail they say they will. He doesn't take his profit and then pay stupid amounts on eBay for pins and jack up their prices. He is smart with his money, as it is his only source of income, and he knows when to say "no" and how to be patient.
Killian also doesn't cheat the system to get pins. His "employees" stand in line just like everyone else. He doesn't cut. He doesn't lie to people. He doesn't show up, leave when you're not allowed to, and then return like others on this forum. He doesn't whine to DSF staff when his guys sleep in and miss their spot. He sucks it up and accepts his mistake. Does he buy a lot and sell a lot? yes. Does he get good info from CM friends? yes. He also shares some of that with me which I am thankful for. Did he buy 83 boxes of character connection pins? Yes, but there was no limit to them, he did nothing wrong in terms of the rules. I try to help him understand how that affects the rest of us and how now they limit it to 25 boxes, but he is still new and learning. He's no where near as bad as that website store in Florida that has 20 people at every release and whipes out entire stock of almost every decent release there. I haven't seen him ask tourists to go buy LE pins in the store for him. And I have also never seen him shark an unknowing person into letting go a very valuable pin. The profiteer himself won't take advantage of people. That is what you call character people.
Another thing he's good for is he doesn't presell! That's a huge no-no on both his and my list of not-to-do's. So many DPF members already selling the DSF BT's for April, or trading them, or offering them in the auction house, or making people hold grails for them in case they get them. I have serious issues with that. I don't know how that is even allowed honestly. People think some of these DPF'ers are so nice but they are often the ones cutting, lying, paying friends, dragging half asleep kids, etc. (I know, many of the kids want to be there, but some do not, everyone in line can tell which way the kid feels.) Those DPF'ers just aren't as open about making money at pins as he is. Killian is often the first or the only one to text me when a new PTD comes out. He values my advice and opinion. He's not my best bud, but he is more decent and less drama than many on this forum, including you sir. Enjoy that popcorn, don't choke on it. I hear popcorn is a natural colon cleanser, maybe it'll scrape you off on the way out.

Another thing you won't see me do is attack someone in the BST for their sales practices or their sale prices. I see someone trying to sell a Brave egg for more than you can buy it on eBay but I don't have to make a comment. My opinion on how to work the pin trading world may differ from yours and that is fine. But the difference is I share my opinion in the discussion threads in hopes that people will see my point of view and maybe even change their way of thinking because they agree with me. I don't have to agree with everyone all the time. JohnJay and I are a classic example where we completely differ on some points but totally agree on others. I am fine if you think asking $200 for a set of pins that can't be bought seperately for less is absolutely obsurd. Think whatever you want. Just remember, 3 strikes and your out.

That is unfortunate the thread went to this so quickly... pins are sold all the time both here on DPF and Ebay. Some are good prices, some aren't and it sometimes it depends on the person; one price may be suitable for one and too much for the other. This hobby has been and is getting more expensive and it seems like selling pins down the line is the norm to keep up with the hobby... sad, but true. I am doing the same w/ the DSF Jessicas and if ppl don't agree w/ my prices that's ok too; I can't force them to buy anything and who knows maybe my prices aren't good or the pins aren't popular. I both agree and disagree w/ prices on pins both here and Ebay, but I keep that to myself bc it is solely an opinion. (I'm not looking to get into the middle of this, just putting in my 2 cents bc this is common practice and there shouldn't be drama when this occurs otherwise this forum will be a hot mess 24/7 :/)

Good luck selling/trading ur pins Mark, I know this set will make someone very happy since so many ppls have been looking for these pins
 
Right off the bat I'll say that this I don't care what Kilian does with his time, money, resources, pins, etc. Thats his business and he has the right to do whatever he wants with the merchandise when it's in his possession. And I'm not posting this is as an attempt to bicker or start an arguement with you.

But you've accused not only my mother but my family of doing some of the same practices Kilian does (hiring people to stand in line so we have more sets to sell, trade pins for what they sell for, trading because we only care about the money ,buying a lot and selling a lot, having the inside scoop with a cast member) when it wasn't even true. And on top of that you lashed out and scolded my mother for our "shady practices" when none of it wasn't even close to the truth. All that lashing out made this hobby hell for us for the longest time and it took a lot of the fun out of it. But now that you have a friend that does these practices it's 100% ok and you see nothing wrong with it when you've scolded people in the past for doing the same thing. I don't see the fairness in that and how that's ok.

I bought 6 boxes of these pins unopened for $175 trying to get brave pins and there was not a single one. So I think Mark's price is fine considering there are what 80 pins total to try to get a specific 4?

Mark, I wish there was something we could trade for them, or a partial $ and trade. Please take a look.
 


+1

yea there LE 200 great pins only $50 each the sets are hard to find and still hot
 

What I accused your family of was selling every pin you could get your hands on and then taking the profits and way overpaying for marquees. Also using young kids to tell sob stories to other traders to get pins from them easier, aka manipulation. Also watching you mom trade scrappers to the "come out and trade" CM's before anyone else could even look at the board. Practically bum rushing the poor CM. the westward Ho manager pointed at your family at that moment and told me "they are why we're stopping this and moving you guys" (as in the barrels.) I never accused you of a CM hookup. I said "someone" bought a bag of hidden mickeys from a CM, but I didn't think it was you or your family.
I could care less about your mom but she took it upon herself to attack me on her defense of another member I am not fond of. She is childish and still drags it out and refuses to just get over it. I don't have a problem with you as a person Nathan, but your mom is a different story. She body checked my wife at a DSF event. My wife doesn't know her, talk about her, or really even care about pins. That's taking drama to a whole new level and if it happens again an assault charge complaint will be filed.

Back to marquees, you started less than a year ago and now your almost complete. Your family came in and turned DSF pins into the resellers paradise it is today. There were resellers, but at most maybe 4 or 5 family members. I'm not sure the most you guys ever brought at once, I don't care to speculate. But cutting, holding spots, bullying honest people, and covering up for liars and cheats are all things I witnessed first hand. There were less than 10% of the camp outs prior to " the Vegas people." You guys made it a game and made it the "fun" thing to go stay overnight and then flip your pins. It was all to sell and buy other stuff. The difference with Killian is he doesn't cut, cheat, bully, etc. his guys sit and wait, like everyone else. And he trades to anyone all the same. He doesn't form cliques and snicker at people he doesn't like.
There are a few people I hold responsible in my mind for the marquee madness. I was collecting them a year before you but refused to pay those amounts or stoop to selling everything for profit to pump into marquees. I've tried to move beyond the stupid sincitychip drama but apparently we're all stuck in DPF Jr. high.
 
I never accused you of a CM hookup. I said "someone" bought a bag of hidden mickeys from a CM, but I didn't think it was you or your family.

Scratch that, I think you're referring to the time when people knew tangled BT was coming out before they should. Insider info was unfairly shared. Yes, at that time I remember thinking it, but I'm not sure i ever called you out specifically.
 

You're freaking kidding me, right?! You're talking crap to a kid and his mom on a public forum, and you don't think that's "childish"? Look at your last two posts, how is everything you've said about Killian okay? Why would you condone such behavior?

You're defending a guy that strictly sells pins, only recently did he start trading and he's only doing so to trade for pins he can flip (and make more money off of). He'll trade you hidden mickeys for his $50 pin?? No sh*t! He'll ask you for 40 hidden mickeys (what a deal right?! who wants hidden mickeys?!), then he turns around and sells said hidden mickeys for $5 each (that's $200) . This guy buys lots of scrappers from ebay and puts them on CM lanyards, but you think it's okay because he's your best bud?! This doesn't make sense to me! You're blaming this lady for making DSF releases a reseller's paradise, but who are the two guys hiring tons of people to stand in the lines, just so they can make money off of pins? Ding, ding, ding! Killian and Edgar! They're the ones that have brought in all the Yu-gi-oh people into our hobby and have made it what it is today! You think it's okay, because they're your friends.... again, this doesn't make sense to me!

You're such a hypocrite Mark Heard Jr., why don't you just admit it?

I know all of this first hand, because I'm one of the people that Killian and Edgar brought into the hobby. They're practices are BEYOND shady! They both bully, manipulate, and cheat people out of their pins!
 

god bless you mark and walk with the lord

If my short time here has taught me anything it is this.....not everyone will like each other, not everyone will agree that what one person does with or for pins is what they would do. My take-away at this point is simple, deal with the people you do like and be pleasant and or avoid the ones you don't. Do not post on a thread created by someone that you have problems with, what is your goal by doing that? Would you go to their house or call them? Well if not stay off of their threads its just stupid and it makes way for yet even more fires to be set, yes we get it you do not like each other, grow up.

It cost you nothing to extend the simple courtesy of well ......not saying anything. Are there threads that I do not agree with for one reason or the other? Absolutely. My response? No response. Also it is not your duty to jump to the defense of every one of your forum friends, if they are guilty of doing something dirty they are still guilty and you are just as bad for defending it. This is not like your everyday life where maybe you cant hold your tongue if someone is in your face doing something you do not like but by simply not typing anything at all it is a win/win by any reasonable persons understanding. I have made it very clear that I am not happy with the pricing of certain pins as well as the various practices used here to sell them, do I troll sales threads complaining about it? NO. Am I guilty of saying things that other people do not like? Guaranteed. Do I hope that others can follow suit? ABSOLUTELY.

Simply shutting up is sometimes not only the best choice it is one that will allow peace to reign in the future. Everyone is guilty of saying things or doing things out of anger or hurt feelings, and although you can apologize forever and over and over, those things may be forgiven but they will not be forgotten. Not by those that they are addressed to nor the passers by that just like to read the forum drama. Opinions of others are made based on the comments we all make here for the good or the bad and with this one small action, (common courtesy) we will all be able to co-exist in peace.

Be excellent to each other.
