Title: Searching for pins on ebay
Post by: Stitch on May 27, 2008, 12:43:27 PM
Is anyone else having problems searching for pins on the new style ebay?

Can anyone give me a few tips for finding the bargains?

Yes it is, my Mum bought it for me when we were there in Jan. I can't remember how many of them there are though.

The very last one, the Stitch one covered in butterflies was a present from her last night. It's limited to 250 and now my most prized pin, my two favourite things, Stitch and LOTS of butterflies! I also really love my Stitch head with the butterfly on his nose :) I think that's also a limited one.

No just found a bargain on ebay.co.uk just put item no. 250256030681. I like Nightmare before Christmas Pins and I found these. £30 worth of pins for £11

All you have to do is check the pin on pinpics.com it gives you the original price.

I say I got a bargain but there is not really a bargain on pins. You buy or trade for pins you like not for the value of. Nobody makes money on disney pins except Disney or the big dealers who buy in bulk say 5000+ at time.

It's a mystery to me how some of the sellers on ebay get hold of 50+ of limited editions... not exactly fair play is it?

You can make it as expensive as you want. Me and my girlfriend just started and we both started just a theme. My girlfriend is collecting all cats and I am collecting ride pins.

I also collecting Limited edition. I have the season pins that, if you complete them, you get 2008 at the bottom and I am collecting the Walt Disney serie, its a serie of 12 pins. The first 3 are out already.

When we go to DLRP in septembber I going to buy on ebay first a lot of pins. Then you pay for 50 pins about 50 euro (excl shipping). We get the great ones out and the other we are going to trade in DLRP.

I found a couple of ebay shops that are really good and have a lot of pins. If you like I can get you the shops ebay adres.

WOW! I love your collection of Disney Fairies pins! I love the Disney fairies! I collect the magazines and books!

Tink is always my favourite, but I like Bess too! Mainly cause she's arty and she wears purple!
