DW 15 yr anniversary complete set.
If the pins are real-I personally would say that isn't a bad price. Is there 50 pins total? The price per a pin would be what $2.5? However if it comes with the frame your saving money there as well. I think it really comes down to if the pins are real or not. If they are real I would say that's a nice price for that amount of pins PLUS it's in a display. Does the display come with the $125? Does that including shipping?
Maybe also look to see how much each individual pin usually sells for. That should also give you an idea if your saving money or not by buying it in a set format. Hope that somewhat helps!

I'm not sure how I would tell if they are scrapers or not. Any suggestions?

I'm not familiar with the set-and even in the picture you can't see the pins super clearly. I guess a good question to ask yourself is-do you care whether or not they are scrappers? If not then maybe don't even worry about it.
I mean you probably won't be able to tell for sure unless the person takes pictures of all the backs. Which they may or may not be willing to do....especially since it's in a frame.
Sometimes I think with pins you just have to decide if you think it's worth the risk or not. I mean $125 would be a lot for scrappers. But if they are real-that isn't super expensive for that amount of pins/frame.
You could ask the seller for some closer up photos?
I sent him a message and asked. I have found some of the pins on Pinterest by themselves. I think it should say the name of the character and made in Taiwan. I am not sure if I would keep the set together or use them as traders. Would it be a jerk move to break up the set? There are some I would keep but some I don't care about.

Ohhh see I thought you wanted the whole set. Hmmmm you might be better off just buying a few individual ones you like from someone on here, Facebook or a website where the person can send pics of the front/back of pin. If this person proves it's real-then maybe you would then have some traders too. No I don't think it's a jerk move to break up the set. If someone's selling it you aren't obligated to keep it together. You are paying them for the set. So what you do with it is your business. I know pins can be sentimental to some- but people can't control what people do with them after they sell them. If the person was a close friend and they were trusting you to keep their treasured pins in your collection-well maybe you would feel slightly obligated to keep the pins. But you don't know the person-so know it's normal to not always keep every pin you buy or even trade for! I know I've sold a nice amount of pins I've bought. But I've also kept ones that meant a lot to me. If you can get some nice traders at a great price, then why not? I'm not familiar with this set so not sure if they are good or not good traders. But the value of a pin really varies from person to person to some extent.
You could also do a ISO (in search of) post on here or FB pin pages of the specific ones you want. Never know.
I am taking a trip to the parks in nov. at $2 a pin I thought the ones I am not interested in would be good to trade with cast members. As I look at it more it might just be the bear country ones I am not super into. The rest are pretty cool. Who knows. It is kind of cool to have a whole set from that long ago as well. Dang pin trading is stressful hahaha ....ok but fun stressful.
