September 11 DVC pins on ebay

[nuthut]

Someone has 30 of our DVC September 11 pins on ebay!!!

Ebay #1021288707

Wonder how one person could get thirty of them.......

[PamOKW]

The AOL board had a report of someone selling a basketful of them at a tag sale in Orlando for $1 apiece. Folks there couldn't figure out where they came from either.

[brittsmum1998]

They probably have mine!! Haven't received mine yet in Massachusetts :(

[WebmasterDoc]

I saw one listed on E-bay today (with photos of both sides shown) - the bid price was at $100!!

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1020572299"> It went for $112.50</a>

[BuzzandWoody]

Still wouldn't sell ours.
I buy & sell on ebay and am always looking for ways to make money, but this isn't one of them.

[goofyforwdw]

Buzzand woody cound not agree more If we get them here in Ma. No way I would part with them.

[JudithM]

We have yet to see our Mickey Americana pins from DVC. As much as we collect & trade Disney pins, I would not sell or trade it. I've been a red/white/blue Americana person since my early years - no way am I parting with these new pins!

[JackDiznee]

Another one sold for $85. The Buy It Now option was used before the auction was completed, The pins are very nice, but I think these buyers are getting carried away. More pins will be put on the market and the prices will drop.

[jennybobenny]

Holy Wow! One pin sold for $112.50??? And we're getting them for free? Cool. :) :)

[dianeschlicht]

Just got ours over the weekend, and they are WAY COOL!

No way I would part with them!

[lsutiggeratwk]

No way am I selling my DVC pins. Not after we looked all over "The World" two weeks ago for the pins. I love it too much!

[rbuzzotta]

Just got mine and I will treasure it!

I love the avatar depicting the pins.......how did you all get that???

[Mic]

I think the e-bay seller stole mine as well! I really want them, but I don't know how I will divide 2 pins between my family of 6! Maybe I can hold a private auction among my kids...whoever can come up with next month's DVC payment gets a pin!;)

LOL!!! :D

[wdwoldtimer]

Yep...the guy on eBay stole all your pins!! I guess you'll have to buy them back from him at $112 apiece.

:bounce:

[tinkandme]

Do we all from MA get everything extra late here?
I really look forward to getting the pin, is every DVC member getting one?

[wdwoldtimer]

Every DVC owner will get a pair....except those poor members who had theirs stolen. They're going to have to deliver these things in armored trucks next time.

There were only two pins released to members, correct? The WIlderness Lodge ones and these flag ones....

I think they should release more DVC only pins. AP holders in DL get a few/year which they can buy exclusively.

Tinkandme,

Don't feel left out ... we haven't received ours in Maryland yet either ... also haven't received our new DVC book yet. Think I better call about that as they started sending them out in September.

Can't wait to get the pin ... I would NEVER sell mine either. We were at OKW last week and one of the CMs in the general store was offered $100 for her Mickey flag pin from Epcot. She couldn't believe it. That's nuts for a pin that is being produced all the time. I have the square Mickey America pin and can't tell you how many people stopped me to ask where I got it and if I would trade. Think some folks need to get a life.

:jester: :crazy:

[Rock'n Robin]

Don't despair, it must be a staggered mailing--I received mine today, and I know some people in Michigan and Indiana (around my state of OHio) already have theirs.

[mouseclick1]

I'm from MI and still don't have mine yet! I think I'll head over to ebay just to see what it looks like! Hopefully there is a picture!

[nickglover]

No pins in Tampa yet.

It is always possible that someone at the company that manufactures the pins may have wound up with a bundle.

[Regina]

No pins in NY either. The last time I had to call them and ask for my WL pin. It came in less than a week.

I hope I don't have to call them every single time.:(

[antnee]

maybe Iwould sell 1 for a 100$ but keep the other

Don't despair. We only live 40 minutes south of you and we got ours on Friday.

[cgcw]

WOW!! Glad I only have 2 kids or I'd be out there on e-bay paying that $112 price to prevent a BIG family feud!!

[dvc_bwv]

I can't believe anybody is willing to spend that kind of money on a pin! They are really nice and I wouldn't trade or sell them for anything, but really.....

[Olaf]

Paying more than a few dollars for this pin is just plain dumb! Two are being sent out to every DVC member, that's over 100,000 pins. Hardly rare. I predict in month, they'll be everywhere for four dollars.:rolleyes:

[wdwoldtimer]

Actually $112 is certainly not as high as some pins go for on eBay. True, it's kind of nuts to pay that much for a pin...it's just a piece of cheap metal with some enamel paint. But imagine those people who pay several hundred for a baseball card?? It's a piece of cardboard!!

cj2...you haven't received your new DVC book yet?? Now that's really overdue! I think I saw some selling on eBay for $50! LOL

You're right Olaf....even the limited edition pins with flag themes that skyrocketed after Sept 11th are drastically dropping in price. There are obviously people out there who go nuts when they see a pin for the first time and pay ridiculous amounts of $$$.

Sorry, we got ours last weekend here. :D I don't know what the system is for mailings......hope you get yours soon!

[nuthut]

Looks like the 30 pins went for $25 each. Looks like each member (who does not have thier pin stolen) just got $50 worth for free....

[JudithM]

Don't despair! We got our two pins in the mail yesterday. No way would I sell them!

[Dizzy4Dizney]

Wow, $112 bucks. That means every DVCr got a $224 bonus!
Well....sort of.

I'm going this weekend and I'm going to wear my pin every day
while I'm there. Wearing it now as a matter of fact. It's really
a nice pin! Thanks DVC! (It's much better then the non-DVC
flag Mickey pins!)

Membership has it's privileges.

I meant its privileges. I hate when people get the punctuation wrong!

[Richnj]

No way are we selling these pins. We just got them this weekend and we are hanging on to them.

[Cap]

See this thread re no more pins:

[nickglover]

We finally got ours in Tampa. The guy who sold one on ebay for $112.50 sold another for $78, so the price is already dropping.

I wonder if the posts concerning large numbers of pins on ebay were mistakes, as there are many earlier-released pins that look the same on the front but are not engraved with 9/11 on the back.

I am thinking of buying lots of the extra soap and shampoo packages for $3 and then selling them on ebay for $8.50. I might be able to retire by Christmas! (just kidding)

[TampaDisneyFreaks]

We got ours several days ago in Tampa. My DW wanted us to wear them to work, but they were so nice I had her put them in the albums with our other pins as soon as we got them. Did notice they were nicer than the other Disney Americana pins, but we didn't notice that they were engraved. Going to have to check now. No way we are parting with ours.

[JerzeeDizLvr]

I received my pins last Saturday. A friend of mine in work just got hers today. I had promised her one of mine if she didn't get her own. No way would I sell them on Ebay (and I am a veteran Ebayer), but I would share one with a friend!
