I hate P.I.N.S.!

I am really getting ticked. This idea of buy it now P.I.N.S. with them appearing Mondays and Thursdays in the middle of the day is frustrating. Two Maleficent pins appeared/disappeared while I was in WDW without getting a chance to bid. Yesterday the Maleficent Carosel horse pin went right by me. I didn't check e-bay and I forgot it was Monday. All 1,000 are gone! Oh well. Just needed a place to vent.

It can be frustrating.........I missed out on Tink yesterday...she flew by.

It wasn't a nice pose anyway. Guess I really don't need it.

Dave......sent you an email.

Daber:

I understand your pain.


BTW.....do you think there will ever be another pin meet a the Franklin Mills Mall?

Goodness, I think that's just another thing that makes this hobby so much FUN! If everything were easy it wouldn't be exciting!

To Hundred Acre Woods......I hope so, Chip and Dale was working on something but then we really couldn't do it during the Christmas season. Hopefully soon.

To PTFlea, I understand where you are coming from, but imagine a low LE pin being sold at the park, you're standing in line and the last two are sold to the person in front of you. Fun? Exciting? More like maddening and frustrating. But you are right, because then you have the joy of the hunt. But why give up something valuable in your pin bag when you could have had it for $8.50?

What is more frustrating is spending a fortune on DA P.I.N.S., and having people think that they should trade just like any rack pin or any LE pin. I started buying these pins with the idea that finally I (and others who don't have consistent access to the parks or cruise line) would be able to have some "valuable" or more "powerful" traders to offer for those "hard-to-get" pins on our "wants" list. Well, what a surprise. 99% of my trade requests for my 250 and 500 LE DA P.I.N.S. are for pins ranging from LE1000 to LE 5000 and rack pins. I really don't know what the reasoning behind this trend is, but it has really turned me off to trading right now.

That being said Dave, I don't know what Maleficent you need, but I do have Maleficenw/Raven #2 for trade, and maybe the other one released that week; I don't have the carousel one but I think maybe EeyoresPal does.
