New pins all worth $100 + no matter what
You've just said what many of us have been thinking for a while. It can't last, but as MommaIvy points out, none of us can say for certain *when* the bubble will burst and sanity will reign again. It will ... as the "old-timers" in this hobby can and will tell you, it's a game of patience.
I had one person message me that they put X amount of dollars on the pin, so they need X amount of dollars out of the trade. Don't do that. Just. Don't. If you're investing big money in your traders, why don't you just buy keepers instead?
I can do you 1 better. I DON'T buy pins to be Traders. Haven't for years - unless for a specific trade.That's the part I can't wrap my head around. I have been guilty of spending $$ on a grail or on the new hotness, but I've never paid more than retail for a trader.
But really. There used to be a collector here, and I know she is still is out in the pin world, because I have seen her post a couple times on FB, who collected Disney Auctions Stitch pins. And if you weren't around when Lilo & Stitch got released, and the insanity that gripped the pin world it's hard to describe and harder for newbies to comprehend because as popular as some things are now, it was NOTHING compared to what happened with Stitch. There is a reason there are over 600 Stitch DA pins, about half (300) being DA100. By comparison, searching Ariel gives you just over 100 total and 60ish DA100, Belle is similar numbers, Tinker Bell is about 300 total, and 120 DA 100 and where is she in terms of popularity now? So to try and collect all the Stitches, it really is the impossible task. Yet, this collector's want list shows just a handful of DA Stitches left to collect.
My ears are burning!
