Hi everyone! I am really wanting to get some of my grail pins. I do not know much about the secondary market pricing and what is actually fair prices to pay for some harder to find pins. I know the prices won't be what they were originally priced but I know there are also some outrageous prices out there too!

I would really like to have beloved tales Mulan, and designer princess Mulan these are my top 2 grails, I would also like For my collection a Rapunzel and little mermaid podm. I know I will definitely want a Mulan podm but not sure how to go about trying to preorder? I do not live anywhere near the parks. I get to go several times a year but not anytime soon and haven't been there when there was podm releases.

Can I please just get some advice on what fair prices are for these pins and what I should be prepared to pay for these to put into my collection?
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Amy
 
Hi Amy,
I think for a Tangled and Little Mermaid PODM you pay from $45 to ...... Depending on which scene you like :)
The Mulan Princess Designer pin, I think something like $90 but not sure about that one

For the Mulan PODM pin, maybe you can start a wanted thread to ask if there are people who can pick you one up? You can ask as a pre-trade or at cost (with shipping and a little extra for picking up) Also for your grails you can open up a thread and look if there is someone on here who is selling the pin(s)

Good luck!

Rachel :)
Hope I've helped you a bit with your questions.
 
Also check ebay for pre-sales for the PODM (as long as you're not too picky on the scenes).

The Beloved tales Mulan - wow, that price has skyrocketed! I sold it to a DPF person (who was completing his BT collection) earlier this year for $30-35 (new on card) and someone just sold it for $80 (without card). The price should hopefully steady soon and be mid-range.

Designer princess Mulan - anywhere from $80-120 (depends on if you're in a co-op or not and the co-op person tries to divide all 10 pins equally [IMHO, they shouldn't be, but that's just me]). At that rate, you're better off buying the whole 10 pin set on ebay and then selling off the pieces.

You should also look for the Golden Brocade pin - you can find it on ebay in the $60s or $70s (just don't type in "golden" because the common sellers for some odd reason don't have that in their title).

For the PODMs which have already been released (Tangled and TLM), who in particular are you looking for? Price varies on scene.

Most people prefer to pre-trade for upcoming PODMs, rather than sell it at cost + fee + shipping (this is what I have found). Your best best, if you do a pre-trade/pre-buy is to find someone in Florida (because they get 1500 pins vs DLR's 500 pins).
 
Like Li said, the golden brocade series is soooo pretty! I have the pocahontas one. I'm going to the mulan release at around 4 pm ish, if there are any left and you don't end up getting a pre-sale one, i will def. let you know!:)
