Help me price this pin. Wall E Marquee.

Not open for further replies.
It really depends on the demand right now. In May it sold for $380 on evil bay. I have not seen them around so I would assume it has went up in price!

I will be sitting here having a good chuckle when these pin prices level off. A piece of metal for $800 ( Enchanted Marquee) is just crazy... but hey sell it for what the people will pay! Then you will be the one laughing while you count their money! And they have a small piece of painted metal!
 
the ???? is what do you think its worth??? Not everyone will think the same pin is worth the same amount. Its only worth top dollar to someone that loves and wants that pin. To me. I would pay maybe 2 times what it was new. That's not to say other ppl will not come along and post how its worth so much more. But the truth is the pin is worth a few cents of metal. But the Disney part and the feelings sum one may have for it could b worth more. A $100 bill is worth the same amount as a 5 or a 10. Same paper and same ink. But because we believe in it. that's why it works. kind of silly but that's how things go.

instead of just trying to make top dollar for your pin. Start with what you paid and what you would b happy to get. Not how much can I over price my pin and get away with it.... lol...

yup... true colors are shining... lol that's whats wrong with this hobby. if all you care about is top dollar. Collect sum thing that's not Disney. I can sell you a $600 box of cards that u may b able to resell for 2k or more. so there is other places to do this top dollar kind of hobby.... lol

WWWD ???
 
I just want to be fair, that's why I ask what it's worth. If people say 5 then I'll ask for 5 if people say 6 than I'll ask for 6. Now if you guys just state your opinion, that does nothing to help me. Thanks anyways.
 

Not my true colors, the truth. Would I pay that? Heck no, but thy the way the free market works. Walt was a wonderful visionary but not the rainbows and flowers person his legend came to be.
 
wow.. not to get in to a fight over the man he was. But I would b careful about talking of him. Many people lie and twist stuff. If you ask the old guys ( of witch not many are left) he was a great man and one of a kind vision maker. He has gave us a lot and shown us how we could treat each other.. its up to us on rather to follow his lead or not. and not everything comes down to money.

While Walt was a businessman, that was not what he was first and foremost. First and foremost, Walt was a storyteller. He truly grasped how to tell a story. Then he was a creator.

Remember, Walt was the one that lost Oswald the Lucky Rabbit originally. It wasn't until Roy joined him that the business balanced out the creativity.

Not trying to start an argument, but money was not the important thing to Walt. The integrity of the story was.
 
I don't disagree with you. I freakin love Disney lol. I am a DVC owner, I am on this site for goodness sake. What I am saying is no one is a saint...including Mr. Disney.
 
This is my last Wall-e pin and one of our holy grails, but I personally would pay 300 because that's what I think it's worth. The designer Rapunzel sold ONCE for 1,000 dollars. Is it an 1,000 dollar pin? HELL NO! If a pin sells consistently for 300-400 dollars then it is a 300-400 pin. Even if you co op the set of 4 marquees that it was sold with on eBay you wouldn't get more than 350, respectively. But this is just my opinion as a Wall-e collector. I've talked to fellow Wall-e completist Angel aka Pin a colada and he agreed that anything above 350 isn't it's real value. I'm not trying to low ball but I'm just giving my opinion as I have been watching Wall-e pins for a while now good luck selling kmargo and who knows, you may get more!

I think the best sale strategy that anyone had was setting the price way too high, then on each daily bump, drop the price by 10 dollars. It inspires panic, whips the forum into a frenzy of frenemies, and gives us all something to talk about. Everybody wins. Especially the seller. But especially the lucky buyer. Consensus in the chat room is to start it at 40 grand and drop it by $10 each day til it sells.

Someone did that here?
 
no shannon, no-one has done THAT exactly... however sometimes folks put up a thread like this just to see how many and what the highest PM offer will be. NOT that i think this is what this thread is about. So, with that said.... lets get back to the OP question of value???

The going average rate would be about right obviously. the last ebay sale WAS a bit until 400. it is a very hard to find, hard to get pin.
 
Someone absolutely did that exactly. It was awesome and I appreciated it. I won't name them but they are notorious for doing innovative and awesome stuff.
 
It's so hard to figure out what to sell for. I looked at the bay when I wanted to sell my Tangled Opening Day pins. They were listed at crazy high opening bids, so I started mine at way less (but a figure I'd be happy with). Ended up they shot up past $200. You just never know.
 

Spoken like someone in the market to buy. haha.

Seriously though, I see the top Marquee order as 1. Up, 2/3 Tied. Enchanted, 2/3 Tied. Tangled, 4. Cars, 5. Wall-E. I'm guessing $1k for Up, $800 for Tangled/Enchanted, $600 for Cars, $500 for Wall-E, roughly. Maybe on a bad day for sellers and good day for buyers Wall-E can be had for $400, but I don't ever see it going for less anymore, even with Marquee prices dropping. Tangled is a much easier pin to find than Enchanted, but more people are willing to plop down $800 for it to be Tangled Completists or Elitists than they are Enchanted. Enchanted is really only for the Marquee collectors as there are few Enchanted pins and fewer collecting them willing to put up 8 bones for one.

I think what happened is marquees got priced out of most peoples ranges, so they went to BT's or PTD's as the next best CONTINUING DSF genre. People love to collect on-going genre's because it remains current and gives them a goal for collecting. Why Paris PTN's are so popular in my opinion. Marquee's may still be listed super high, but not many are actually selling. But my guess is Wall-E being one of the top 5 will always retain it's price simply because of how few are even offered for sale.

So Marquee prices are taking a slight hit lately as people focus on PTD's. Money is diverted to those, so less for marquee's. But it hasn't stopped many sellers from still putting up crazy high BIN prices for marquees that never touched the prices they're asking, ever. $100+ for The Greatest Game? I bought that for $9 on eBay less than 18 months ago. At least Wall-E was always over $200, even back 3 years ago (It is 5 years old after all.)

Take all this with a grain of salt, because I refuse to pay more than $200 for a pin ever so I won't ever own those top 5 I posted and I won't ever be a marquee completist unless I get some amazing gold plated trader down the line.
