Tangled Marquee for $400... Round 2.
Grown Ups Please, ACT GROWN
You broke down and bought the CInderella for $60? thats not bad at all my friend. I feel your pain on how hard these marquee's are getting. Thank goodness i already have all of the Hard Ones except UP and Enchanted...its hard being a marquee completist
I broke down and bought the Cinderell marquee for $60 which I thought was a fair BIN price. With another possibly coming next month the older one may become more desirable. I have been doing my best to keep away from the high price marquees lately, even though I really want a lot of them. Cars 1 right now for $122 is killing me. I already have Meet the Robinsons, paid $16 for it maybe 4 months ago. I feel bad for the people that are just starting their marquee collection or that just want a marquee because it happens to fit their other collection. Well, I feel less bad for Up and Tangled collectors, there are just way too many people trying to get that stuff. I am almost positive I will never get Walle, Tangled, Up, or Enchanted now unless I get some crazy rare pin in the future. I wonder what will be the next big park release item once the PODM pins are all done?
I'd like to think after the first 2 or 3 of a specific pin sell that the prices will come back down to reality once these rich buyers get what they want for their collection. As for the resellers, I heard someone bought the My-D pins Enchanted for $200 just to resell it. BOOOO to them! If they list it for $300 I hope they get stuck with it and then someone finds like 20 Enchanted pins and drops the value to $50. Like Storage Wars when someone gets a unit dumped on them. Alas, the pin market seems to go off recent sold prices so these won't come down for a while. But like I said, perhaps once this crazy buyers group gets what they want then we will finally get some sane prices. I've already seen drops in prices on Avengers, Little Mermaid w/ blue background, Ursula, Toy Story 3, etc.
If people keep listing them they will only continue to drop I think. Tangled seems to have gone the other way though, it was $150-$175 just a few months ago, now it's $300-$400?? I think their are people selling Brave DSF sets and Tangled PODM pins for profit and parlaying that money into these marquee's. Or they wealthy to begin with or they have a new credit card balance. That's just too much money. But it's not my money, so maybe I shouldn't speculate.
