I totally agree. At some point even this seller will come down or they won't sell their pins. As buyers you have the power to determine the price, if you don't give in to overpriced items than they'll come down eventually. It just takes a little patience and unless you're on your deathbed you have the time.
Someone has a bunch of individual ones on eBay right now, and i have been watching just to see if they would list them all, but since then, they have raised the prices by a lot more than they originally had them. They had Rapunzel for $255 but I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much, and someone bought it shortly after it was listed. I think this just shows that people are really in a frenzy to get these and sellers know that :anxious: So when they're one of the few sources, they're gonna price them how they wish. So I think if we all wait it out, they will start to be the desperate ones to try and get these sold. They're not kidding when they say patience is a virtue though... :facepalm: Why is it so hard?? Ugh!
Yep. Totally agree with this comment. People who are desperate usually ruin it for everyone else. Unfortunately, thats the way this hobby works. $255 for designer rapunzel!?! Thats waaaayyy to much! about $75 over what people should pay maximum!
In the long run though it hurts the buyer more than anything, because if they pay $255 for the pin..deep down they'll want to trade it for $255 dollars worth of pins u know? I try to find the best deals for rare pins! Oh well!

I know, it's so sad
I'm still looking for a set to do a co-op with but they won't bring their prices down, $1250 is waaaaaay to much in my opinion, and the seller says this is the lowest he/she can get for this set.... WOW!

I agree that $255 for one pin is waaay too high, but here is a bit of perspective in terms of numbers:
- LE 1000 with 9 people trading and 230 people wanting - sold on Ebay for $199 auction style on July 28th
is LE 250, 2 people trading and 170 people wanting.
Latest I have seen this pin was on DPF offered for $240 although I do not know the actual sale price.
is LE 150 - that is 900 pins less than the opening day pin and 100 pins less than the compact pin.
8 people trading and 248 people wanting. Plus it is a part of a set released during an event.
I can not afford paying that much for any of these pins, but if the first one merits $199 and the compact merits $240, then the pricing for the designer pin is not that outrageous IMO.
Disclaimer: I do not have any of these pins for sale or trade, just wanted to present you the numbers. Best of luck to those who are searching for these pins

I don't think the first or second ones merit those prices either. I think it's the same desperation there that Catburger was talking about.

Geez $1,250 is so high! I want to buy that Snow White for $115 but...I'm trying hard not to cave.
Also, I'm not starting a co-op or anything but I was curious and divided the prices to see why it cost so much and my assumption is this:
Otherwise dividing $1,250 by 10 pins = 125 ea which is just as ridiculous! Really hope they go down eventually.

Nekov, for the full set, not co-op, but the full set ... you have to take the value of the box and certificate into account. I believe earlier co-ops here from last summer used to also sell the box for $20-$25 something like that.
For anyone who wants the full set in a proper way, it is not complete w/o the box and cert.

Wasn't talking about the "full set". I was talking about the prices if the pins were split for a co-op, but ok, if you want to get technical take w/e the price is per box and cert out of the prices from Rapunzel. There ya go! Still expensive.

that is not very nice Rob! sold several of my pins for dad's cancer surgery if you must know why I dont have very many pins anymore!
I have been selling pins and have been able to buy back some of the pins I want. Would rather have all my designers and some Rapunzels back.

It was a simple question, that meant no disrespect
. Just curious because if my memory serves me right..we were asking to work out a trade with you in regards to some of these desinger princesses. Oh well! Hope you get ALLL of your pins back!The current Rapunzel on the bay, the lowest they'll go is $275...I could have done $250 but even then that's ridiculous. So if anyone absolutely has to have her now, you'll know the accepted offer is for $275. *sigh* So expensive ;_;
