TANGLED on eBay for $1525

Not open for further replies.
The market could totally drop. I used to collect beanie babies (I still have my bears), and right before the bottom fell out, I sold several for over $150 each. It paid for a trip I took, and paid for all the ones I kept in my collection, so you never know. I paid $5 for the Princess Bear by waiting, and my Aunt paid $300 for the exact same one because she had to have it the month it was released!

No one knows what the next "hot" pin will be. Right now, Tangled is it. Back when I started in 2010, it was Stitch and Jessica pins! Kinda like the stock market, ya know???

And a pin is only "worth" what someone will pay. I can't pay what some of my grails are 'worth'. Does that mean I shouldn't try? Or save up? Nah. It's my money... let me spend it on shiny things if they make me happy!
 
looking through the sold auctions you notice prices are dropping little by little but dropping. maybe frozen can knock down tangled for a bit or someone in the past can make one strong come back pushing her down..... thank i strike and buy all the pins i need mahahahah :wat: but till than i can wait and watch people bid crazy prices pushing this right up into the air, what goes up must come down. I mean how many wealthy pin traders can there be?

Ahhh yes Beanie Babies.... I collected those as well and yes that's exactly what happened. Many of them shot up to $300 to $500 back in the day. And where are most of them now?? At Goodwill and Salvation Army stores were they are $.50 a piece, including the Princess Diana Bear :facepalm: I didn't sell off mine bc I was young at the time and now I'm stuck w/ close to 1000 of them :lol: Oh well they could prove useful one day hehe

I shall relish the day when I can find Disney/Rapunzel pins in the $1 bin at Goodwill/Salvation Army... LOL XD Cx
 
Did anyone else notice that the same seller has a BiN one for $1500 AND another listing for the same pin as an auction? How many of these pins does this person have?! :O

I bet its shill bidding, I don't even care what anyone says. There is something fishy going on.

This is what I'm thinking. I mean, I can understand the pin selling for a lot, but I really don't see why all of sudden THAT specific pin would jump SOOOO high O_O I mean, it isn't like Rapunzel JUST got big so everyone is clamoring for her pin and I'll guarantee you that this compact pin isn't even 3/4 as rare as the R/C Rapunzel, so why would it sell for 3/4 the price?

I'm not saying it is guaranteed as it is very likely this seller has 2, it just seems odd that one pin sells for a price and now that people see it sells for that high, the same seller just happens to re-list a BIN for the price it sold for. I can see that as a trick, now we just wait and see if anyone actually buys the pin at $1500 BIN.
 
This is happening with so many pins lately. Tangled, Up, heck even TLM pins. Look at the The Little Mermaid Beloved Tales pin... a mere four, maybe five months ago, it went for 200.00 on eBay and now the last one sold for 495.00 ...

That pin has officially SOARED well beyond my financial reach sadly... What can one do when certain pins follow this market trend? :( I really hope this is a case of shill bidding and no one actually bought this Tangled pin for that high of a price. Nothing against anyone who actually did buy it for that price, people are free to spend their money how they please, I just don't see it being worth THAT much personally O_o;

I am glad i go for the Alice's pins...

Alice pins - let's talk about her for a bit. Some of her pins are so rare that no one has traded one in five years and none have appeared on eBay. Talk about valuable. My grails are nearly the same list I've had since 2009 and in that time I've managed to acquire (2) grails. Alice is one of the most valuable pins there are and they have held their value year after year. Rapunzel is a relatively new princess and while people have jumped on her band wagon, let's see where she is in 55 years (Alice came out in the 1950's). Even when my holiest of grails was offered for sale on eBay the price was so much for one pin I could not in my mind justify that much money for a pin. I stick with my comment that whoever would pay $1500 for a pin has more money than brains.
 
When I decided to collect pins in earnest, Tangled was my #1 choice because it is my fav Disney movie. ... That being said, this kind of price craziness is why I switched to Star Wars! LOL

My husband would KILL me if I tried to spend that kind of money on one pin! O_O
 
I have an almost complete Tangled set (missing Reveal/Conceal and the latest Beloved Tales only) - including the compact pin that I actually ordered two weeks after it was released :-) Every so often I see these high prices and think "WOW - I could sell these and probably fund all of my other collections for years...." then I can't let them go and think "I'll be sorry, surely these are going to drop in price" - they sure haven't yet.
 
I'm not sure if it's the same pin, but I saw one the other day on ebay Australia...i think for $2500 which equals to £1500 :| an people were bidding! I showed my dad cause he doesnt believe that pins can be worth that much and he was shocked haha!

Fortunately, even though I collected Beanie Babies (and the teenie beanie babies from McDonald's), I have "only" amassed about 100 of them (including the TBBs) and about 1 dozen bears (which I got for $5 each). Valentino and Valentina - so cute!
