What's your limit?

I need the Shag Tomorrowland and Fantasyland pins also and don't understand why these are more than the other three pins!!! But I've decided that $40-50 is my max for those two (hahaha!); maybe someday I'll get lucky... or I'll just end up trading/selling the three pins I have.

I will scream if you get them for $40-$50! :lol: The Fantasyland was a multi pin trade & I got that with 2 or 3 other LE pins for traders that cost me about $80, so I was very happy with that trade and that was about a year ago. The Tomorrowland one has come up maybe 5 times since then and always over $120, I checked everyday for that pin, and it came up about a month ago with a BIN of $99 and my boyfriend said "hit BIN I'm getting it for you for our anniversary" so have it now & it is gorgeous! Be patient, I've been trying to get it for 3 years and finally completed the set and they are big and bright and really pretty pins.

Probably, because of what they did originally. Some of them ended up at the Character Warehouses at discount, but not all of them. I have Adventureland, so that was one of them. My Dad has Frontierland so that's another, and I'm pretty sure they had Main Street too. If they had had Fantasyland, I definitely would have bought it because of the Teacup. So I bet those two sold out at the parks, so more are in permanent collections.
 
I spent 40.00 on one pin: my Fantasmic jumbo. And if it counts I purchased POM's 6 at a time once. So that added up too. And my boyfriend is buying me spots in a game for my ultimate grail that's totaling up to 70 bucks or so. He lost it in evilBay a week ago. Losing by a dollar - 115.00 :( so he is willing to spend that much on one pin for me. Lol
 
I lost a bidding war which went for around $520 just a few months ago :( I don't spending the cash for pins I love and just can't find. Iv spent over $300 on some pins countless times. My limit... What ever my bank account has at the time a grail is listed on eBay.
 
Being a LM collector isn't cheap :facepalm: oh if I could trade my Grails my wallet and bank account would be soo happy as would I!! I feel for Rapunzel collectors too!! Lol

That makes sense, first one I got was Adventureland and loved how big it was and the colors are great on it, so was patient and got Frontierland and Main St at good prices, but the other two were a lot harder to get. There's almost always a listing for the Adventureland, Frontierland, and Main St pins on Ebay, but never for the other two.
 
The most I've spent was 80$..I stumbled accidentally across the pin and bought it right away. So it was a grail beofre I even knew it was a grail xD

I love the SHAG Haunted Mansion pins...luckily they're not as expensive.
 
Very VERY stupidly, in a rush I spent $175 on a pin last summer, which came back and bit me because I really needed the money for real life things after I got it, but I couldn't get a refund :(

However, when things aren't going crazy it's a different story... :lol: If I had the money for it, I would have gone very high for certain pins that I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted... BUT, I never do have the money to do that, nor do I ever have the money to just randomly buy a pin :lol: Soooo... my limit is pretty low ^_^''

GIRLLL YOU ARE SPEAKING THE TRUTH HAHA i do the exact same thing
 
$70.00 and I got an AMAZING deal on the pin so I felt like I had no choice. But still that was a little steep for me :/ I would much rather trade multiple pins for a good one. I also live on a student budget so... yeah .

like for me if it was a pin that I reallyyyyyy would want i prob would only do up to $150
 
haha Actually, the pin I spent the most for I just spent yesterday coming in at a little under $60. However, now I'm considering buying another pin from that same set, I was just offered $90 for it...yes...it's a DisneyShopping.com stained glass pin...no, it's not LM or BatB (process of elimination haha xD)
 
The most I've spend was about $35. Typically though, I like to stay in the $15-$20 range. Some of my grails run super high, and I may never get them. I just can't see myself ever paying more than $100 for a pin, but that may change over time. Having more money would probably help.
 
I don't think I've paid more than $30 for a single pin, and ideally I'd rather not pay more than $20. I just can't justify anything more than that for something as meagre as a pin.
 
Yeah, I just started, and I'm about to spend $20 for a pin for the first time. It seems high, but when I showed my wife she squealed, "It's so cute!" so I know it's OK.
 
If its a grail I will go as high as 200 depending on the grail for sets I have gone much higher for valentines day I found a person who sold me the Designer Princess Set and Th Designer Villain Set for 1800.00 I couldn't not buy them as both sets are my wife and girls grails I don't believe I have even seen the princess set on ebay so god knows what it would go for. That's why I had a pin sale this past month and Ty to all who helped. And no we are not trading or selling them lol we are not even putting them on our pinpics

$1800 is a pretty darn good price ^_^ The DP set doesn't go up on Ebay much but when it does, it ranges from $1200-$1500, but it hasn't been up in a while so who knows how much it would go for nowadays. The DV set tends to go for around $450-$500 so depending on the range, you pretty much got both sets at the average price they go for nowadays!!! The only thing is, because neither set has been up in a while, I bet those prices increased!!! CONGRATS ON GETTING THE SET MAD HATTER! SO HAPPY YOU GOT THEM!!! I still want to know the reactions of your wife and daughter the second they saw them...
