Actually, now that I think more about it, I have more to say about this post...

Sorry buddy, but I think most people on this forum can do their own ebay watching for free. If I pay you 15% to find me a pin, I expect to see you in every park, every day, looking for my pin rather than sitting in front of your computer in the comfort of your home. This kind of silliness is just helping raise the price of already expensive pins to outrageous prices!! There are plenty of independent people with their own stores and websites selling pins at fixed prices, and factor in all the pins being offered on ebay... I don't think it's difficult for me to start up Google and type in "xxxxname-of-pinxxxx LE xxx blah blah blah" and find it myself for free.

My suggestion to DPF members is to never be so desperate for a pin that you'd pay anyone to find it for you. It's a pin, not real estate!! If you don't find it today, look again next week, and the week after, and then the week after that... eventually you'll find it AND you'll find it at a price that you're actually comfortable paying rather than paying some exorbitant price and feeling ripped off afterwards.

Never be so desperate to find a pin that you'll pay whatever outrageous price the seller is asking... patience has it's benefits. If everyone eases back on buying expensive pins the price will eventually go down or at least remain constant, rather than skyrocketing the price like I've seen happen in the last 12-18 months. Just remember this, you don't HAVE to buy the first pin you see... there's always going to be another pin out there that will be sold eventually. And it's value can only be matched to the value of the last sale.

I haven't been too active on DPF but I have been collecting for a while and even making ebay purchases when necessary; if someone needs tips on finding something, let me know. My charge is 0% of the cost of your pin.

I never knew until now that this, THIS was all I wanted in my life.

... I am seriously in tears right now, this is the best/funniest thing that's happened to me all week. HILARIOUS. You're amazing, Hollie.

EDIT: Still giggling. I hope you don't mind, I'm saving this to my desktop for a bad day...

This is mighty kind of you, pin finder. To think that I'd only have to pay you 15% of the sale price of an ebay item when there are computer programs that do it for free. :facepalm:
