My problem with new pins isn't that I can't dredge up the cash to get one, but rather they cost so much today that I can't justify the expenditure regardless. Even used pins seem to fetch double what they cost back when I sold my collection off, so it's difficult for me to imagine getting back into it again unfortunately.
I guess if pins were the only thing I wanted then I could easily rationalize spending money on them, but several other things have overtaken their place on the priority list.

... Well I'm just a wriggling ball o' fun tonight ain't I?
