Do you add vacation costs to the trade value of a pin?
The tables at the little green men are now "out for refurbishment" already, same as what happened to the tables at dlr downtown disney!That kind of mentality and behavior is the reason why there are no more tables at DTD; if we don't watch it, the barrels, Little Green Men, and the Plaza may be next!B]
that what keeps the pin karma rolling is helping out, not holding out.
I believe in the spirit of pin karma Orlando, but you can't be rolled over just trying to "help" someone, I mean I've been know to trade some of the pins I get in a $2. collection for what I know are scrapers. But I can't just give someone a pin "I value" as a valuable pin for something I don't believe is as valuable.
But I totaly disagree with trying to factor in "costs" ie... gas, time spent ect. But you can't feel an LE 100 anyone could get online sometimes for weeks equal to an LE 150 that sold out at the DSF in one day. Am I wrong in this thinking?
Well, if we begin to add vacation values, then we might as well start adding the price of admission, the amount of gas we use, incorporate the per-hour pay we would earn while waiting in line, and create an algorithm that add the various methods of assessing the value of the pin.................keeps the pin karma rolling is helping out, not holding out.
If you purchased pins while on a Disney vacation (theme parks or cruise), or paid for a special event, does this add to the trade value of your pin?
My opinion is vacation/event costs are paid because you want to enjoy that particular activity. I do not think these costs should be interjected into determining a trade value of a pin. Although some people might disagree, I thought I'd open this subject to discussion.
This might explain why so many pin traders at DLR PTN's think their pins hold the same value as gold. "Well we bought this pin at WDW and between hotel and airfare costs this hidden mickey pin is worth any 10 of your LE pins in your book" ..............................
Hmmmm - So, this is where the response could be -- "Really! So, did I! Soooooooooo - my vacation (hotel, airfare, event ticket, etc) + the cost of my LE pins = MORE than your FREE hidden mickeys! HA! I still beat ya!! Yay, me!" :lol:
One thing that has always baffled me is how come the Paris Pin Trading night pins got so valuable. Is it the fact that they sell out? Here is a case, when one pin of equal purchase cost and Le will not get you a DLRP PTN pin. It seems we have all agreed to trade for the value of these pins without question when the value is often 4 times what they cost. I have done it and am one to blame for promoting this. Any ideas on this?
