!!! Check out all of our other listings! I have recently started a sister account to this eBay user name that offers items specifically to benefit the charity "Give Kids The World". This charity permits families with children that have life threatening or terminal illnesses to travel to Orlando and stay at the Give Kids The World resort and enjoy the local attractions. 100% of the proceeds from these auctions will go to that charity with my taking NO profit whatsoever. While the items may not be highly sought after I would ask that in the spirit of giving and compassion for the families and children dealing with these crises that you consider making a purchase. All auctions will start at the minimum donation that eBay specifies of $5.00. These auctions can be seen here; Hidden Walt Charitable Giving ***** On January 18th, 2011, my fiance and loving partner of 6 years, Kelli (pictured with me below on our last Disney cruise), departed this world for a better place. I loved and cared for her deeply and she immediately grew to share my love of Disney and encouraged me to come out of my eBay retirement to once again sell pins. I had been a major seller from 2000 to 2003, then had retired from 2003-2006, when I once again rebuilt my inventory and offered pins for sale again on eBay. She was the kindest, most loving person I have ever met and she will be missed far beyond what I could describe in mere words. We were able to travel quite a bit and my memories are full of the places, people, and events I was able to introduce her to. I will always love you Kelli and never forget those special times. Thank you for taking a look at my auctions. Whether you are new to Disney pin trading or one of my regular customers you may rest assured that I will always be offering many top quality pins. In 2009 I had the opportunity to attend the annual NFFC National Convention show and sale in Anaheim. Compared to prior major events the lack of quality pins was quite evident. Simply put, the most sought after and rarer pins are becoming harder and harder to find. Many end up in permanent collections, few are damaged, some lost, and the rest are out there for trade with other private collectors. With edition sizes ranging from as low as 25 to 500 for many of the sought after pins, supply is becoming ever more limited. In additional, over the last few years, I have noticed a significant cyclical flucuation in pin values. With you, the buyer, having the summer weather, your children out of school, and many other activities available to you, less is obviously spent on pins and prices become depressed, to normally rise again in the fall as Christmas approaches. As many of my offerings were hard to find, I will protect my investment in these pins to an even greater extent until over time and several seasons they have established a valid lower plateau for their pricing. Also, there seems to be a trend towards active bidding only on the more popular pins and characters with a greater lack of interest in the rarer and older Cast Member and event pins. These are the greatest rarities and I am not likely to start these at low values as I continue to acquire those that I find. Given these developments, I have decided to continue to offer more common pins with starting bids at or below cost, and rarer, hard to find pins at fixed prices with a "best offer" feature. Please bear in mind that my "Best Offer" prices, since they will not dramatically exceed my cost, plus fees and expenses, will not result in the acceptance of low offers from potential buyers. If I offer a pin at $75, please don't offer me $25, It would be counter-productive for me to accept it. Unlike many other sellers I have seen of late I will keep the prices within reason, not the 3, 4, or up to 10x market value I see others offering their rare pins for, but I also must grant that some come up so rarely that "market value" is extremely subjective. However, please keep this in mind and purchase, or offer on these pins ... read more
