So i'm at my first "hard" pin decision...

[Spire]

Recently came back from a trip to Disneyland and the pin bug has bit again. Currently watching a handful of pins on ebay that i discovered via Pinpics, all of which i think are neat. The "problem" is the Haunted Mansion lapel pin i really want popped up, its $35, which is pretty much my limit for any one pin ATM. If i buy this ill most likely miss out on the other cheaper pins im watching...

I guess what im asking for is advice. Bite the bullet and enjoy this pin? Or...wait and hope more show up... i havent been in the game long enough to know how frequently things pop up. Thanks!

(i even hesitate posting this in fear another member will go buy the pin, lol)

If it is in your limit, it is one you truely want more than any of the other less expensive ones. buy it.
One pin for your permanant collection is worth more than several pins you will end up useing for trade.

one way you can try and see if the same pin has sold recently is to search for it on ebay and then click on Completed Listings, which will show you if this pin sold previously (or didn't), and for how much it was listed/how much it sold for. what pin is it (PinPics #)?

Pin 86012. And thanks for those ebay tips, didnt know you could do that.

Looks like a couple more had sold for half the price a couple months ago. I think ill just wait a bit and keep my fingers crossed.
