Asking was $3800 and they updated the post to mark it as sold, so even if the accepted 20% less it’s still 3k. *Shrug*

That's nuts!
40 people are watching this one on the bay.
That makes much more sense.
I mean it SAYS sold, but if it was actually sold at that price or if someone is just inflating prices is the hard part with people valuing pins based on what it says online. I noticed on ebay it will say the price listed and sold but if you look at the details it will say the seller took the best offer and it won't say how much that was.
It is really hard to tell whether it’s legit or not. I had an experience on eBay when I sold a beanie boo (another addiction 😂) and I was super excited because it unexpectedly started going higher than I was expecting. But I soon realized I was an unwilling party in shill bidding. The item ended looking like it sold for $1250 when in reality the buyer stiffed me and I ended up eventually taking much much less for it down the road ($75)
So if that was someone upping the price just to make it look like it was going for it, it was a disappointment for me but also a reminder that the sold price doesn’t always tell the whole story.
I saw this the other day. I love the D pins, but I'm not going to pay that much for a pin. That's crazy
Yeah, see knowing that kind of thing can happen has made me so wary when people immediately jump to say a pin is valued at whatever the bay last says it was sold for.
It used to happen a lot with pins. I'm not sure how much it is still happening. I agree that you have to be cautious using it as a source.

People are asking for and have been trading thousands for that pin and hundreds for the other old ones.
It's the only one of the D's I'm missing - other than the Gus which I just haven't managed to trade for yet - so that's kind of sad I'll never get it, but on the other hand the rest of my D's have gone up in value, too, so...
But I'm still annoyed I traded an extra Alice D for like a $15 pin I didn't even need just because it was in my trade book and someone said they wanted it - right after it had exploded to like 20 times that value and I thought it was still just a fairly common hidden mickey. 🙁
Ah well, it all balances out in the end.
