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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
