A good deal is whatever you want it to be. I buy pins cheap off ebay and then trade for whatever I want. There are special pins called "Cast Lanyard" pins. These cannot be bought, but only traded for with CM's. It's fun to go for those.

But ultimately, I just trade for pins I like--and I might trade that same pin away 10 minutes later for something I like even more.
