I love the comment about how when you first start collecting, you go quantity over quality.. then realize you don’t care for those pins, so you end up trading them in for ones you really want. I think that’s the cycle every collector goes through, probably why you see less popular pins go for cheap.
Also loved the story about the ass with the ms pac-man that tried scamming you out of a service fee, then blaming you of breaking it when you tried reversing it.
