Devoted PEZ collectors (aka PEZheads) can find both modern PEZ dispensers and vintage PEZ dispensers on eBay. Most PEZ dispensers made after 1987 have feet, a small plastic lip on the bottom of the stem, which were added to help the dispensers stand unassisted. Popular collector's choices from both eras include:

  • Regular PEZ dispensers: Original PEZ dispensers created in Austria in the 1920's were simple mint candy dispensers. The plain tops functioned to dispense mints and did not have any characters adorning the top. In recent years, regular PEZ dispensers were reissued, making them one of the few types of modern PEZ dispensers without feet.

  • Holiday PEZ dispensers: PEZ dispensers can help you celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. Christmas PEZ dispensers may feature specific characters (for example, Santa PEZ dispensers and Rudolph PEZ dispensers) or winter and Christmas-themed figures. For example, you can find angel PEZ dispensers, elf PEZ dispensers, polar bear PEZ dispensers, and snowman PEZ dispensers. Easter PEZ dispensers focus on themes associated with Easter and spring including bunnies, chicks, ducks, eggs, lambs, and roosters. Halloween PEZ dispensers can cause a fright and feature witches, ghosts, skulls, and jack-o-lanterns. Some even glow in the dark.

  • Disney PEZ dispensers: Mickey Mouse PEZ dispensers top many PEZ and Disneyana collectors' lists. You can also find Disney PEZ dispensers featuring characters from Bambi, The Jungle Book, The Lion King, Snow White, Pinocchio, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, and more.

  • Sports PEZ dispensers: You can find sports PEZ dispensers with tops in the shapes of baseballs, basketballs, footballs, football helmets, hockey pucks, NASCAR race cars, and soccer balls. Consider collecting them all or adding them to your collection of sports memorabilia and souvenirs.

  • PEZ-Pals and people: PEZ-Pals put a human face on PEZ dispensers, including those of boys, girls, doctors, brides and grooms, sailors, nurses, pirates, and more. Other people PEZ dispensers include astronauts, cowboys, and pilots.

  • Giant and mini PEZ dispensers: Giant PEZ dispensers are more than a 12" high, can hold at least 12 packs of PEZ candy, and often feature popular Star Wars, Peanuts, and Garfield characters. Mini PEZ dispensers distributed in Japanese vending machines, can have the heads of animals or characters from Ultraman, Dragon Ball Z, and Pokémon. General Mills mini PEZ dispensers, issued in US General Mills cereal boxes, have the heads the Trix rabbit, Buzz the Honey Nut Cheerios bee, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, and Lucky the Leprechaun. PEZ key chains also come in a smaller, pocket-friendly size.

To determine how much you should expect to pay, search Completed Listings to find out what similar items sold for on eBay in the past 14 days. PEZ collecting books can also help you price and catalogue PEZ dispensers.
