My love for snowmen? They're a limited edition that will sell out in the next 48 hours. From then on they'll be ostensibly rare, and worth more than I paid. Capitalism!

strangely enough.....i'm willing to bet some eBay slappies will pay you a pretty penny for those.

I bought 40 of their limited edition silver coins for $10 each. My average sale price was... (drumroll please)... $70!!!! Weeee!

Any chance you can link to one of the auctions showing this?

Are you calling bullsh!t? Because I get a prize if you are.

No, I am just curious...

Have you started to sell these pins yet?

Link for the Joshman.

No, too early to sell. Honestly they might not do well, but I'll still make $ on them. The coins were sweet.

Damn..that is crazy...

What did you have as the starting price? How do you usually ship these eBAY things to only have them as $4 shipping?

whatare you gonna do charge 15 for shipping ?

if you check ebay prices on their pins for sale, they're barely selling.
The only reason why the Coins sold so well was that it's made of real silver 12Grams worth and I'm sure there are a lot more coin collectors out there.

Patience, grasshopper. The coins were worthless, they cost about $3 to make. They sold for $15 right after they came out, too.

The snow globes may be more apt to sell than the pins... The silver coins definitely turned out well....

I don't think Ebay employees can sell stuff on ebay without providing a link saying that they are Ebay employees in their listings... damned if many people paid $80 for an ebay silver coin!

That site ebayroma charges tiered shipping rates (against ebay's own policy) AND doesn't accept paypal which tells you something.
You got nailed on shipping so I think you should recover it back in your auctions.

There is no concern for spending $1,500 on these though? After all one main difference between these and the coins are that they are geared towards the holidays, more specifically the 2003 holiday season...

My cost is $1800. It's $1800 from the coins, really, so it's just a perpetual gamble. I doubt I'll lose money on them. Yes, they're holiday pins, but they appeal to pin collectors as well as the new "ebay-ana" collectors. We'll see!

Probably a chemical imbalance that causes me to hoard otherwise useless objects to gratify my unfulfilled emotional needs.

Oh, and to profit, too.

this thread for no apparent reason reminds me of the movie Trading PLACES where the two old brothers tried to corner the orange juice market.
You sir have cornered the Ebay 2003 Snowman Pin market. More power to you if it works out.

EDIT for the guy below me.

Isn't trading spaces some cheesy life network show about redecorating your neighbour's ugly house?
