Shocked and Surprised
I would not mind trading for those pins, but not an old LE100 for and new LE300. That's a false value on these new pins. I know I have an impossible to find wants list and it's basically been unchanged for years. But I don't give up. I've collected the Beloved Tales since the first ones came out and it's just disappointing that no one is willing to help a fellow pin trader acquire pins they can get. This is just MY opinion, but it's really having a negative effect on me. I'm completing up some nice 12 X 12 frames with pins from my collection and then everything else goes on the sale block. I'm giving up for now, but I'm sure I'll be back.
If it isn't selling then people will drop the price or hold on to it. But it is selling so obviously a fair market value has been established. The guy asking $300 for his will never get that unless he has it listed for 3 years. Seems the going rate is north of $125 and south of $175.
The Up Beloved Tales pin will be a holy grail for many. Just because it just came out doesn't mean those that got it should just offer it up for $20 to someone else. I want to keep the one I got and trade it for a marquee grail of mine. The problem are the veterans that want to over value their older pin because it is rare and old but want to devalue the newer pins that are instant grails. A LE300 limit 1 Up BT pin should be comparable to a Tangled Marquee. Both were LE300, both DSF, both cost around $13 originally. Tangled marquee has been out for about 2 years, Up BT about 2 days. But in my mind they should be in the same ball field. Tangled was $150-$165 just a few months ago, I know they've spiked higher recently, but should come back down. And they were Limit 2 per person and were on the racks longer so traders could acquire more. A limit 1 pin, with the popularity of an Up BT, should appreciate to the level of a Walle Marquee or a Tangled marquee.
As Hopemax says, this is nothing new. And people try to sell pins (or any other collectible) for $$$$$$$$$$ all the time, always have. Nature of the beast...This unfortunately happens in every collectible hobby. There isn't really much you can do about it.
