I have these two Mike & Sulley ice cream cone pins side by side, and I’m trying to figure out if either one is authentic.
The left pin has brighter colors, silver metal, and a larger eye. The right pin has gold metal, lighter colors, and a slightly different eye and facial details.
If either of these is real, which one is it? Or are they both fake? Any help from experienced Disney pin collectors would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hey guys, just a reminder to always check seller reviews thoroughly before purchasing on Mercari — especially cancellation history.
I recently purchased an item after receiving an offer directly from the seller’s account. The original listing price was $48, and I purchased it for the offer I was sent, which was $43.20 before shipping. Right after the order went through Monday night, the seller messaged me claiming they didn’t actually send the offer and that Mercari had automatically done it by mistake. They then said they didn’t want to honor the sale over just a $4 difference.
After receiving that message, I decided to check their page more thoroughly, and honestly what I found felt concerning. The seller had OVER 30+ cancellations since January alone, multiple recent cancellation reviews visible on the account, and before my order was even officially canceled, the items had already been reposted for $95. The seller’s bio also heavily warns about “dishonest buyers” and “false claims,” which made the overall experience feel even more uncomfortable afterward.
What also frustrated me was that even though they messaged me immediately Monday night about not wanting to honor the order, they still didn’t officially cancel it until Sunday night. That honestly made me feel like they were hoping I would eventually cancel it myself so the cancellation wouldn’t reflect on their seller account.
As someone who also sells on Mercari with 500+ five-star reviews, I completely understand mistakes happen sometimes. But situations like this are exactly why it’s important to review seller patterns before purchasing. A high review count alone doesn’t always tell the full story.
Just wanted to give a friendly heads up to newer buyers using the app! Attaching screenshots for context.
