Or not...

$42 Disney Dollars

Why on earth are these people paying this much?

 

[fsufandis]

Do I detect a "hint" of sarcasim in your heading!

 

[kutchyone]

I really, really, really, really, really don't get it. Why would anyone bid on these?

 

[3Mousketeers]

At the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, I'll ask you guys a question. NO, I did not bid on this auction, really! But, I was thinking of getting my DS's disney dollars for our trip next week as a way to control their spending. We've never bought them before. Where do you buy them at the parks? Can you buy them at your resort? I read on the board somewhere that you can buy them at your local Disney store but if I bring my younger DS (who is home with me during the day) to the Disney store we will wind up buying much more then Disney Dollars. If there is some other way of buying them online, I obviously don't want to pay shipping (or more than their face value, LOL!).
Thanks and don't laugh at my question!

I'm not laughing, I promise. You have actually asked a very good question. And I don't think that I can answer it very well. I DON'T know if DDs are available at the parks or resorts. You are right, you CAN buy them at your local TDS. If going there is a problem for you, do you think that you could ask a NON Disney fan to stop in and buy them FOR you?
I am almost 99% positive that there is no way to buy them on-line. Sorry.

Good Luck!

 

[my3kids]

You can buy them at the Disney Store or from any place at Disney. Dollar for Dollar....why in the world would someone buy them for more than face value.....

 

[PrincessDadx2]

Some people collect them, but these look like the standard ones you can buy today. No need to pay extra for that.

 

[foxfire]

I am amazed at some of these ebay auctions. My sister recently sold some small odds & ends items in a lot...the final bid was $1.99. The postage & insurance options the buyer chose was over $12.00...

 

[poohj80]

Where do you buy them at the parks?

You can ask at any register at WDW if they have any Disney Dollars and they will either exchange dollar for dollar or you can get your change when you buy something in Disney Dollars. Granted, not all cash registers will have the same supply, but if you make a habit to ask each time you buy something I'm sure you'll get a nice collection.

 

[dizcrazy]

I always wonder about this . . . I want to email the bidders and tell them the truth!

 

[mickey4ver]

My guess by looking at things the bidder has bought in the past, is that they are a collector of Disney Dollars. Perhaps this is something they want or need for their collection with the design that is on these particular ones. I think this bidder knew exactly what they were bidding...not uninformed at all...Whatever floats your boat...............

Yeah - but paying more than 50% over the value of an item - and KNOWING it??? I sure hope that I never want my boat to float THAT way!!!

Thanks for the answers.
About ebay - I think people see something there & assume either it must be a bargain or it must be something you can't get anywhere else. I've seen toys up for auction that you could much cheaper just walking into Target. Just have to remember "buyer beware."

I want to email the bidders and tell them the truth!

What truth. Unless I am missing something the auction listing was completely honest.

 

[disneysteve]

What truth. Unless I am missing something the auction listing was completely honest.

Truth isn't really the right word. The correct term would be "reality." In other words, explain to the bidder that he/she is bidding on something worth $42 and not a penny more and is still readily available for purchase for that exact price. Heck, if I knew I could get that kind of response, I'd go out and pick up a sack of Disney Dollars tomorrow to auction.

 

[ericamanda01]

Isn't that the same as me giving you a $20 and you give me $100!?

 

[CheapMom]

Mickey4ever must be right- if you have old Disney dollars you may want to sell them.
