Hello everyone,

Sadly I have made the decision to no longer collect pins. Due to various factors, it no longer fits into my lifestyle/budget. Before I go off an sell all my pins though, I was realized that I have no idea what the worth of some of my pins would be. I have a couple that I thought I would consult the community for because I have found people here to be honest and fair when it comes to these things. The following are the sets I need help gauging what they might be worth.

1. Classic "D" collection from 2011. Entire 12 pins set with original backings.
2. Attraction poster set from 2012. Entire 12 pins set with original backings.
3. WDI Main Street Electrical Parade 8 pin set. Pretty sure I still have the original backings.
4. Various PODMs as follows
1. Beauty and the Beast ballroom scene
2. Mulan half make-up reflection scene
3. 2 Steamboat Willie mickey whistling while he drives scene
4. Little Mermaid part of your world scene
5. Lion King rafiki holding up baby simba
6/7. I also have a lonesome ghosts and mickey's christmas tree PODM but can't remember the scene right now.

I know the PODM's really depend on the scene so i'll post pictures later tonight. I have many more pins but these are the ones I believe I will have trouble finding a price for. I'll will post pictures for all of the above and maybe others that I see when I get home. I'll try to post the pins here before I go to ebay, because I'd rather know the pins are going to a true collector, as almost everyone here is.

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
I would suggest you visit ebay SOLD listings for many of these to get current market value pricing idea's. However, if you need to get rid of them quickly please contact me privately via PM and I may be able to help you get rid of the whole collection.

I am sorry you need to get out of the hobby.
 
Sad to hear you are leaving. I too have given up trading to a certain extent. It's much easier to buy what you want than trade.
 
I'm at work right now, so I can't help at the moment, but I would absolutely love to have the Mulan scene. Please pm me if you can so we can talk! It's my Grail scene!

The Lion King Scene

I have a lot more but this was all I had time to upload at the moment. Any help is appreciated.
 
I'll try to update the thread with more pictures of the rest of my pins but i'm having a hard time finding an accurate pricing guideline. Starry_solo was so kind as to research some ebay listings, which helped me for the PODMs mainly, but for example the full sets, like the Classic D set, they do not have listings for those. I saw one set for half those pins sold for $115 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Clas...508?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2582f71f94 but this was the later 6 pins. When looking at individual pins from the beginning of the series, they went for about $30-45 depending on the pin. I'd rather sell the sets together, but if I have to break them up I guess I will. What does everyone else think?
