Disney collection on eBay

Park Hopper · 03-07-2006

There's an interesting story in the Orlando paper about a guy trying to sell his 12,000-piece Disney collection on eBay. Asking price: $399,000. I searched both current and completed auctions on eBay but couldn't find it.

From what the article says he withdrew the auction which is why you probably didn't see it. Sounds like he is talking privately with a couple of people....1500 square feet...whew! That's alot of Mickey!!

I would just like to SEE it...too bad he doesn't have a website or something.

I bet he's got some cool stuff.

The article isn't clear about whether he cancelled the auction or the auction ran its course and didn't meet the reserve price -- in which case it would have shown up as a completed auction. At any rate, if he were to sell the collection at the $399,000 asking price it would cost him approximately $6,000 in eBay auction fees.

All I can think of is $$$$$$$$! But I would love to check out his ebay site! Wow! And I always wondered if there is a 100% complete collection of pins somewhere... maybe at the official Disney pin office, or something!

My brother-in-law sent me the link to that listing a few days ago. I'll check & see if I still have it. The picture was unreal! I've never seen so much Disney stuff in my life! I told him I'd have to get rid of a kid or two to make room for that collection at my house!

O.K., I found it. Eat your hearts out!!!

I would love to see ALL of them in one place--that would be cool!

Yeah, I checked that out a few days ago. Even I don't want that much Mickey stuff! It's too bad he doesn't want to mess with it anymore- he'd probably make a lot more money selling it piece by piece.
