I think there maybe people with this thread getting confused regarding the tomorrowland retro pins and magic carpet pin. Tomorrowland retro pins (limited edition) will be realeased every weekend throughout the month of August. These Tomorrowland retro pins have increased in value since there initial release:
Tomorrowland Submarine Voyage Retro Pin (5/5) = 250 Each
Tomorrowland People Mover Retro Pin (2/5) = 500 Each
Tomorrowland Skyway Retro Pin (3/5) = 1000 Each
NOTE: Based on previous purchase prices I believe the next pin will be between $1500 or $2000 depending on how they increment. Then last pin will be between $2000 and $4000. This makes sense if they either perform $500/$1000 increments or double the price like they have the past few weeks.
The magic carpet pin everybody has been discussing is similar to your other magic pins (Fireworks, Inferno, Invisibility, Buried Treasure, Cursed Storm, Teleport, Pirate). This magic pin maybe available for purchase and would cost a substantial amount of money. The magic carpet pin is the one under discussion for 30,000 credits a pop. This would definitely take some people a good amount of time to obtain those credits, but I have always felt the magic pins definitely should be a little harder to obtain. Receiving cereal codes (global codes) is really just too easy for such a fun pin, and I have always felt you should earn so many credits or obtain a certain level within a game for magic pins. But Hey! I am not the maker of the game only a player...

Ok, I was curious so I decided I wanted to sell "Tomorrowland Skyway Retro Pin" that cost 1000 credits each. The sell back price was only 30 credits (Go Figure)...Can I setup a VMK Store and sell people these pins and if they want to give back only give 30 credits...What a business!!!!!
FYI, I never sold the pin I was just curious to how much they would give...
