So I bought a Tinkerbell figurine for one of my goddaughters and it wouldn't stop. I ended up in DEEP trouble cause I bought her one and didn't buy the neice or other goddaughters or girlfriend one. So now I got stuck with buyin' enough Tinkerbell stuff. BUT what I didn't know was the stuff I bought at the last minute was RARE so now every freakin' day I get a half dozen emails from around the world begging me for this stuff. It's risen at least 8 times the value in just a few months! I have 3 Tinkerbell pieces that are like 2-3 feet tall! I ended up buying the last ones on Earth and didn't know it.

One thing I learned is that people love Tinkerbell. I had no idea. The Japanese especially. So companies that produce Tinkerbell stuff spend that extra quality which is why the stuff sells out so fast. I have 5 Tink pieces I bought for a total of $500 that are now worth $4,800 EASY. I ain't sellin' em' though. They'll go great with my terrarium.
She still makes me smile.

Lucky enough, I have two little girls so I can indulge my pixie preference and no one knows I'm actually buying them Tink stuff because I love her, haha!
