Are regular Shag collectors just finding out about these? Some of his signed limited edition prints go for those prices, but not pins. Anyone have any info?

Anyone know what's going on with the Shag jumbo pins? The past few weeks two of the pins have been selling for $200 to $500. I was looking to put together
a second set to frame, but not at that price!

I really have no idea why those are going for so much, to me they are blah...no offence to anyone who has/wants those. But really, for $200-$500 it should be
an amazing looking, really limited pin, which these ones are not. Well, perhaps its just like the Masterpiece pins craze from a month ago. They weren't on
the market for a long time, and there was a small handful of collectors who really wanted them so hence a huge bidding war, and now I see ones that recently
sold, go for well under those crazy prices. It pays to wait because you know when a pin sells for a ton, there is always going to be someone else right behind
them who will try to cash in and will be disappointed when they don't get anywhere near what the first person got or no bids at all if the starting price
is anywhere close to what the first one ended for. Thats the nature of bidding wars. The person who did not win the bidding war is probably actually really
relieved that they didn't win

Sad thing is a few trips ago, they couldn't give them away. I saw a couple of several sitting on the shelf!
I have my set...love them...they're so artsy-fartsy...LOL I've been wanting to use them for a different project (a handbag), but don't have the heart to. I love Shag's work! ~* Noreen*~

It seems that ever since ebay started masking bidders' identities, the prices on a lot of pins have literally tripled or quadrupled or more. It's made
me completely shy away from ebay purchasing (well, that and the very expensive scrapper I bought there - sigh.) It's insane how much the prices have
jumped. And yeah, I suspect shill bidding in a lot of cases.
I'm seeing more and more pins that for the past almost two years had previously regularly
sold for $30-$50 suddenly jump to $150-$200. It's absolutely insane. But it will pass, if we're patient enough.

^ Exactly. That was one of the examples I was thinking of. It's a $40-$50 pin, no problem - $200? Absolutely not.

I've noticed a lot of bidders with no feedback start to bid... and often on the pins that go for the big money.
Smells fishy to me... Jes "Simply Mad"
