Who woulda thunk it? But just today I learned on one of my favorite Disney fan interweb message boards that Pal Mickey, now discontinued by Disney Parks but still fully functional, is routinely fetching over $100 on eBay, as opposed to the $60 (or so) that he used to cost in the parks. I didn’t believe it, actually, so I followed the advice of one poster to check the “completed listings”, and yes indeed there they were.
It also sounds like there are still a few Pal Mickeys out there in the shops at Disney World, perhaps especially out at the resorts.
What an odd thing that there’s apparently still such demand for the little guy! And no, mine won’t be showing up on eBay anytime soon….perish the thought!

This blog post has tormented me and drove me to near insanity. I no longer see love in Pal Mickey but a $100 staring back at me.
