The people that are happy it is ending are the people who continually get taken to the cleaners because they don't like anywhere near the park or because they don't want to have to fight lines just to get their two pins for their collections.
I think you are treading on thin ice here. I don't think anybody has ever said that there is anything wrong with someone charging "a little extra". Do you call 10 times cost "a little extra"?
It isn't that simple and I don't think that is the way it works. There are more than enough pins to go around.
Also, you may want to back off the "shark" talk and hopefully you know why. In contrast to the DSF releases, I have a bit more understanding for charging excessive mark ups on these pins because certain cels are extremely rare or one of a kind, which is why I have been willing to pay excessive prices for some of the ones I have. And I understand there is grey area here, but one should be careful not to speak out of both sides of their mouth.
Yes I sold one really hard to find scene I had on eBay which you bought, I don't consider myself a shark because I bought 4 scenes kept one, sold one and traded one.
i spent two nights at hotel and drove ten hours to get my pins, then stood in line twice on thursday and twice on friday to get pins and signatures. my family and I collect and trade, and occasionally sell a couple. We live 5 hours round trip, had to pay for a babysitter for 2 days, two hotel nights so I could get my scenes signed. So yes, you paid a high pice for a very rare scene, that I sold only because hubby was upset with me for spending so much money. I put an amount or best offer, and you bought it out right. I do not take 10 people with me to get pins, I didn't use the word "shark" I should have worded that differently, I was addressing the people who complain about sharks, and making an observation that by limiting those that buy more than two pins it's not necessarily going to solve the problem, since people will simply take more people with them to buy more if they really wanted to.
If people don't sell some cells, how are those not close to the parks going to get them. I bet there were maybe 100 of that scene you bought from me nationwide, and signed much less. Are you upset that you bought it?
I spent hundreds of dollars buying DSF pins, even here on DPF there are sale posts of DSF pins that cost $10 marked up considerably. I see the SBW PODM that are listed for sale, and most are $40 each. I don't have any up for sale, but I think $40 is not that bad for those scenes. On the other hand, some scenes are really hard and very rare to find, which is why I think some people are ok with buying those ones.
I didn't mean to upset anyone, just tired of so much complaining.
People seem selfish, that they rather have a pin not be released any more for anyone to collect, than simply say they choose not to collect it. I can't collect UP or much of tangled because pins are outrageously expensive to get and I just don't have that kind of money.
Everyone values their pins differently, I think every individual has a right to decide how much something is worth to them. If it's not worth the money don't buy it.
I hope you are not insinuating that I'm a shark because I sold one very rare really hard to find scene on eBay, one that had an, "or best offer" and had not been listed very long.
sad to say.. money talks for sum ppl
