Agree... The attachments definitely impact the value. At least with regard to the less-expensive and mid-priced Pins. I've seen countless instances where the ribbons/charms version sells much faster (and sells for lots more money, despite Muchinsky's claim).
When you've seen enough over the years, you know which charms are original to which Pin. Most people simply prefer the more aesthetically pleasing version.
