My DD started by accident. We got a free lanyard and pins with our package in 2004. She got right into it. She bought a few traders (lower priced pins that she had no interest in keeping) and started trading with every CM she saw. I only let her trade with CM's. I really don't know the values of the pins and such and would prefer her to stick with people who work there over strangers. It's fun and addicting. She loves it. She now has a black pin book for her limited ones and favorites. It's something she can do every trip and it honestly saves me money. She doesn't have the need or want for any of that other stuff that costs to much and has no purpose once we are home.
