The PRICE at DisneyStore.com!!! Are you KIDDING ME!!! I just can't afford this hobby!

These are three of the ones I want & cant figure out why such different pricing on them, its not like the Dumbo one is a jumbo one, so why $19.99? The Miss Bunny & Thumper one is bigger, yet $5 less? It just doesnt make sense & I will be patiently waiting for them to either go on sale or looking to trade for them as well which is disappointing after no pins for so long & then we finally get some good ones but they are way overpriced.
 
If you read the descripton of the pins it says that they are gold-plated, unlike other pins that indicate they are gold-finished. This is the only thing I can see that could make them more valuable. Anyone have any other ideas?
 
The more expensive ones have a special feature for example the dwarfs spin around Snow White on that pin and Dumbo's ears move up and down. They're very nice pins but the prices are higher than they should be. I also wonder if the ones that don't come on the special blue card thing are even part of the series. Those pins have different information on the back.
 
Im not bothered about the price if Im being honest as when you look at th costs from parks etc then they are around the same price as normally the pins from DS.com used to $15 minimum so $15-$20 shouldnt be too bad in retrospect ..

And if no one is prepared to buy them at that price...how will people be able to trade for them if no is buying them...and then the ones that do pay the price shows disney someone is buying them so wont drop the price as there are people prepared to buy them.

Me personally if its a pin I really want then I will fork out the $$ for the pin as its something I need as you cant be certain you'll be able to trade for it.
 

Amen to that quality comment. If you just look at the Alice event pins - they were well made, great designs, good quality (couldn't quite say excellent) and reasonably priced. If you at what DS has to offer, the quality is less, the prices higher, shipping is so unreasonable, and the designs look like left overs that they didn't know what to do with. Same thing with the designs at the Florida Project. Cheap and ugly.

That said, someone must have a ton of money, because that pin is sold out on DS. I checked the bay and it is selling for $45. Maybe $20 wasn't so high.
