Have you ever found one of your grail pins only to have the person want a lot?

I recently found one of my grails, but the person wants like $300+ for it. It is a hard pin to find too. I don't want to spend that much though.
Can anyone relate?

That's happened to me on eBay plenty of times. I got lucky once though. I contacted the seller and poured my heart out and they lowered their asking price drastically and I was able to buy the pin. Granted, I didn't get a deal but I didn't get totally ripped off. Good luck!

Our little mermaid pins are neve easy to come around. That sucks bbig time. And I know it's like "OmG I must have that Ariel pin.!" but $300.00. That's just being. A greedy seller. Very disappointing.

Some may be greed but you also don't know what people have invested. I have paid $200 more than once for hard pins. If I ever sold them (which I wouldn't cause they are Pan pins ) I would want what I invested in them if possible.

Maybe ask them if you can do payments? I really wanted a pin that's $100, so although they wouldn't budge on the price (because they originally paid more for it), I asked them if they would do payments over a couple of weeks, so that's what I'm doing now they took the listing off eBay for me and were super nice. Just as long as you're prepared to wait for the pin until you've completely paid, it's worth asking. just my opinion.

yeah i agree,
i have some hard pins that i paid alot for and those are the ones people want but say it is out of their price range and dont have any of my wants. i want them to have the pin for their collection since it is doing me no good but i dont want to lose on the deal. i do think there are greedy people who know pin traders really want some pins and take that to their advantage. sad but true,

Happy trades

I lost a grail on the bay. The LE 100 cat pin with every cat on it. I was winning at $127 with 8 seconds left when snipers got it for over $230. Arrrrgggghhhh!

 

[echoharmony]

I can't buy pins but I've tried to trade for plenty of pins and the person wants way more than what I feel it's worth. Unfortunately it happens, people want as much as they can get for things, especially hard to find pins.

I'm curious since I'm still relatively new... how much *do* people consider paying for a single pin, if it's a grail? I know that's really subjective and depends on a lot of factors, but... would you ever spend $200-$300 on *any* single pin if you had the money to spare?

 

[5titch]

Anything over $50 turns me down on a pin since I am just starting, lol
But really I hate spending money so any turn me down, but being Disney collectables that can have a resale value are what keep me buying x)

Im a little afraid as to what my grail pin might cost me, I have yet to see it on the bay

I almost did a few weeks ago. ;___; A pin I have never seen on ebay before had a BIN price of $349.99, I sent in a best offer and the seller responded with $315. Which I was prepared to do. But then someone went and bought it straight out before I made my decision. Oh well, saved me loads of money I guess.

for those curious, it was this pin:

I'm in agreement, only every grail I've ever seen has been way too much.

I've spent a bunch on one pin, but its beautiful and i love it, so it was worth it.
