Re: Why are the Joan Rivers' Bee Pins so expensive?

 love her pins, but they are over priced now. That 39.00 was the magic number as far as I'm concerned. Better yet, why can't they make them half to 3/4 the size. They'd bemore wearable in my wardrobe. I have a mini bee in pearl from years ago, and i love it. i know I'd love these pins if they were bigger than the mini by a smidge.

I checked them out on Ebay to see if the prices had gone down, they have not ! In fact seems like some have increased ! I am glad I got 2 when they were reasonable !

Lots of Joan's pieces were pricey on ebay after she passed away- but the prices came down. Except for the bee pins!

 

I even thought the bee pins were pricey when she was alive-  that's why I only bought 2 (her interchangeable  styles).

I have a beautiful vintage flower style one listed you-know-where for an awesome price, and honestly, I'm SHOCKED that no one has jumped on it.  It's done in a tortoise and ivory colorway and is like new.  I thought it would go right away.  Oh well, I'll keep it if it doesn't go soon!

I just looked at the QVC Bee Pins and I do not the price is that high. Well, maybe a little higher but all of the Q's prices have gone up. I have two of her pins a pink and black plaid and the pine cone one.

The plaid bee pin I own is a pink and black houndstooth and just lovely.

Looked for it on other sites and it is not available. Glad I got it when I did.

The metal is gun metal color.

Thanks for the follow up! I have been surfing the net and that houndstooth bee pin is no where to be found. I think it was a LTS. Not sure.
