So SAD....
As much as I agree that the pin loses value being broken and then fixed again and Im sorry you didn't get your pin, I think rushing to the idea that this person is just greedy and going to try to not tell the next person is kind of judgemental. I get that you're upset you didn't get your trade but reducing your offer by half might not seem fair to them. Sometimes values have some to do with a matter of opinion and for me I don't know if cutting the value in half when the front half of the pin that you see still looks good with the potential to fix it. The value is lower for me yes but not half the value but like I said some values are opinion because some people wouldn't mind the broken back as some have noted on here already ( just like some people value one character more than others cause of personal likes) and its okay if yours is different, thats totally fine but I wouldn't talk down someones character and accuse them of not telling the next person before that even happens.

I didn't mean to talk down on her. It was how she treated me. I did not post the whole conversation. When she came back and told me it was broken. She told me herself that she wanted to tell me because it would change the deal. She was understanding about what happened. Even saying that she don't know if it can be fixed and saying she does not have the tools to fix it. That it was up to me and that is when I first posted on here about it. Once I told her that I can give her one pin for it and the only reason I would was because it was a grail to me or I would have just walked away. She then flipped and changed her mind and got rude. The thing is once I told her it was my grail things flipped and didn't seem right and she wanted more for the pin. Now if she would tell the person or not who knows. I am just saying with the way I was treated she very well may not. I hope that she is kind enough to be honest and not take advantage of people. But lately in the pin community people have been takeing advantage of other people. I am not being judgmental, I am just being honest. Everyone knows this.

And she owed it to you to tell you what had happened of course. But all Im saying is she probably didn't want to do it because the values were different in her opinion. I didn't see the whole conversation obviously and I dont know how she was rude. Im just going by what you said that and in saying that it made you sick how greedy she was, I just don't think not accepting your lesser offer is that ridiculously greedy and it isn't fair to say what someone might do in the future as bad as some people have been lately. Like I said I didn't see the conversation and this is just my opinion. Im sorry you didn't get your pin but maybe then you'll find one thats not broken one day hopefully and you won't have to hesitate.
 
I agree with alot of the other people on here, I wouldn't trade for it personally. If you keep looking hard enough you will find it again, it may take awhile but you will find it. I had a pin on my wants list for over 12 years and tried trading for it (only like 2 people had it on their trades list) with never any luck and looked on Ebay almost every day and never seen it on there. I finally found it on ebay one day and someone from Spain had it listed, I was leary to buy it but I did and it worked out and now I own it. That was a long time to wait for it but I did finally got it.
 
That is great and I am so glad you got your pin. Wow it must have been really hard to find to take that long.
I have seen the pin I want 5 times or more on ebay. When it comes on I never have the money at that time. Lol I am sure I will get it one of these days. I am not going to give up.

I want to thank everyone for their post and their help. It did help a lot. I have never been in that situation before and I hope never to be again. I don't wish this upon anyone. I hope that we can all find our grails, no matter what they are. :) Good luck and happy trading to all.
