What's the most you've spent on a pin?
i paid 40 euroes for a framed pin at DLRP which is about 54 dollers that is the most i have spent so far on a single pin but i have spent more for sets 🙂
 
For a single pin = $165... and it wasn't even a real pin, it was a counterfeit that I didn't know it was until it was too late 🙁 It was of my Holy Grail, the Disney Auction Tinker Bell Masterpiece.

For a Framed Set = $195.00. It was Pin 70098: DLR - Haunted Mansion O'Pin House: Framed Pin Set

HAHAHA! Tell that to somebody like me who just sold most of her collection but am doing WHAT, attending the PIN EVENT?? I have been good though about not spending money thus far on anything but just quitting the entore hobby is SO HARD!! I dream of the day I can at least fill 2 boards again...lol Pathetic I tell ya!!
 
Seems that plenty of collectors have been modest about their responses. Tiki, you are soooo right! I'd love to share in this topic, but the only response I can give would be: you REALLY don't want to know! As the song says, "Love hurts."
 
About $25. Simply because it was a PTN one I really wanted. However normally I never spend over the shelf price for pins because for me the thrill is trading for them rather than just buying exactly what I want.
 
My top six most expensive pins cost $242, $163, $150, $102, $80, $78. Looking at it now it seems ridiculous, but I am sure I would do it again for a rare pin.
 
Phew...I'm glad to know that I'm in the norm here with spending on pins. I haven't spent outrageous amounts, but I've definitely gone up to around $50 or so. I'm sure the day will come when I see a pin I must have and go crazy for it. 🙂
 
Single most expensive pin for me was back in 2002 I believe for $650. I would pay it again in a heart beat if anyone has any of my holy grail pins (DCL Cast Costume pins (Palo, Remy, Concierge).
 
I traded that perticular one away when I started noticing a few more popping up. Ended up getting my money out of it and re bought it later at a fraction of the price that I still have in my collection.
 
Jumping on the crazy bandwagon! $170! but it was my ULTIMATE holy grail, so I wont be spending anything more then that for ONE pin (sets excluded 😀 )
