I can't vote, because there is no category for me. As long as I've been collecting, and as many pins as I have, I've never spent more than $35 for a single pin. Even the jumbos were either given to me, or bought at cast sales, bringing their price down below $35. I keep playing, "what if the market drops out scenarios" in my head and all the pins available below that price point keep me busy. I've determined there are some pins that I would pay $50 for. If I could find them (since I was willing to pay $35 for a few in 2001...inflation) but haven't actually found them available at that price point yet.
 

There is a category for you! Its called the "No vote cuz im smart!" category haha. Well done on having so much patience!
 
I spent a little over $100 on the Belle and the Cinderella DIsney Auction Carousel Artist Proof Pin(s) in silver when they were released by Disney Auctions. I kick myself for not buying every artist proof they had on auction or at least the whole set but I was a college student back then. I still need the Ariel...
 
I am brand new to pin buying. I've only bought a few. The most I have spent is $21. I'm trying to pace myself and not go overboard all at once. I fear I am going to loose though....LOL!

Good job so far Bryana...I sincerely wish you the best of luck in not falling overboard! But it is VERY VERY hard..especially when you've been looking for a pin for soooo long and it finally turns up!!
 
I spent $180 on the Caterpillar sugar bowl pin from the AiW mystery tea set. (Pin #78221). It's LE 50 and beautiful and I regret nothing.

I was wondering who else joined the $300+ club! Thanks for sharing! Can we know what pin?
 
so it looks like Go Small or GO Big in our results so far eh? I wish i could add more options especially since i disabled the feature that shows who voted what . But this poll is still really interesing! Thanks so much for the participation!

It's gorgeous in person. The whole set is, in fact. Thanks to a DPF member who sold me several and an auction where I got two others, there's only one pin I don't have out of the set, and it's an LE 25 and others have been after it a lot longer than I have!
