I think this is the best place to post this, but there is a seller that is on eBay that has some great Maleficent pins I want (mostly Disney Auctions). The only thing is...the seller has 30-40 of some of the pins. Now, most of them are LE 1000, so it wouldn't be crazy, but it seems a bit...well...crazy to me. I've asked about the pins being on the original DA card, but I haven't gotten a definitive answer on that. I really want these pins, but I'm definitely weary about them. PM me if you have ever purchased from this seller or are wondering who this seller is and might have information...just don't buy all the pins I want from them
 
30-40 of the same pins?? Id stay away if thats the case as it would seem like a scrapper. maybe check pinpics to look for scrapper alerts on the pins you want
 
It is 30-40 of the same pin, which is what gives me such pause. I checked out PinPics because I had that same idea, but there are no scrapper alerts...I know very few of the Disney Auctions pins have those alerts. I know a few people have PM'd me with help or questions, so thank you for that. If anyone has a definitive answer, let me know. I'm tempted to buy one pin from there for relatively cheap and see what happens.
 
I would appreciate if you could pm me the seller. I would go wth "When it is too good to be true, then it is very risky" most of the time. Ebay is not a safe place :rofl:
 
We have a member here that used to work for DA. I would try to ask him for a little help. I think the user name is "helpfull" or sumthing to do with help. he is a nice guy and im sure he will help u in any way he can.


Helpful247.... hope he can help u out sum.

If he hasn't gotten back to you, it's probably a sign of the worst. He's probably hoping for a person that wants it so bad they buy it. Any previous feedback?
 
Depending on which pins you are talking about, it might not be SO fishy. There were some Maleficent LE 1000s that were marked down to $3 or $4 a piece and cleared out. As there were no restrictions on how many you could buy, it is POSSIBLE that the buyer bought a bunch at clearance prices and is selling them off.
I'm not saying that that IS what happened, only that it MIGHT be the case.
 
pm a link tothe link fr thsae autctiioin and I'll aski from there,if you didiit he has the rigth to blovkk yoiu fro furthserty bids and 'm not inoto mal at all
 
I think I have PM'd everyone back that has asked. Thank you for those of you that replied with your thoughts and opinions on the seller. I am going to stay away and would recommend others do too based on what I've learned. If you need the seller's name still, please let me know.

Thanks all!
 
I'd appreciate knowing who this seller is also. Please PM me when you have the chance. Thanks! I'd definitely like to steer clear of this seller since I've been collecting all the Sleeping Beauty/Maleficent pins I can for quite a few years now.
