recently completed pin & mirror ebay auctions

Can we get back to talking about the pin? I am very interested in what people think about it as well as people's opinions on its worth. Tank you.

Dave: Your "Pin" is worth exactly what you paid, as the market dictated the value when you won it. A very nice pick-up of a rarely-seen piece.

As for the Redland Field Mirror... it also went for market value in the original auction (given the condition). In nice condition, it's an $1,100 - $1,300 piece.

I never raise the price of an item when it doesn't sell at auction and I put it in my store, but I did once just because I was mad. It was a circa 1970 Key to the City of Miami with a notecard signed by the mayor of the city...I looked up and saw that similar keys would bring $50 to $100 so I started my auction at $9.99 and it went the whole 7 days without a bid...it had 14 <----That's FOURTEEN!!! watchers on it and not one of them bid so I threw it in my store at $39.99 and someone bought it in less than 24 hours.

edited to add: I did it purely because I knew all 14 of those watchers would get an email stating that the item had been relisted.
