Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I love collecting but never want to trade. I started out with a free AMEX lanyard that I wore simply to have my room key and hopper passes around my neck. It's more convienient than searching the backpack or worrying about losing them in a purse/wallet. Then my DD got started when she was given a CM lanyard pin while shopping at DT Disney. The CM said if your Mommy will buy you a lanyard, I'll give you this pin. She was given 3 lanyard pins that trip (no trading involved)! Then DH and I wanted pins too. So, now I collect the resorts and special event pins. DH collects parks and rides, and DD collects whatever she wants. DH and DD are into trading but I can't part with mine. DH even buys some just for trading. I'm tinking of framing our pin collections in 3 separate frames - one for each of us. We have a Media room with a modest Disney theme. But, I want to do it so that I can remove them when we want to wear them. Or, maybe just pick some to retire.

Absolutely love it. Me, DH & DS are major addicts. We just got our friends into it last week at WOD NY. The 3 of us have approximately 700 pins right now and always looking to get more. We are even looking to start a trading club (info in a seperate post). We've met a lot of peaople and had sooo much fun trading. We like the challenge of searching out and trading for sets. Some of our sets are unfinished and some took months or years to finish.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I voted neutral on this since I haven't actually started trading yet. I've been collecting pins for DD and I by buying on ebay. When we go in April we will start trading and then I'll be able to see what I think about it!! DD has already informed me that she will not trade any of HER pins!!!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

Absoluley!!! LOVE collecting, and LOVE trading. I have more pins in my time than most have collected, lol. Not all Disney and not all in the same vein or for the same things, lol. Trading is a great way to meet new people and make friends that may last for a long time. Don't be afraid to try it out, it can be a blast!!! For those who can't bring themselves to trade away anything that they have gotten, pick up some extras when you find great deals, or limited editions that are low enough and nice enough to be wanted desperately by someone, lol. Can be a way to get that elusive pin you always wanted. lol

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I love it, and so do my kids... you will find a set you really like... just something about it appeals to you, and then you enjoy collecting the last pieces! It's great!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

Here I am, not voting on something again because there's not a box that describes what I think!

I'm not neutral, because when I considering pin trading myself I think "ick", but I'm not all judgemental "waste of money and time", either. When I buy something, it's because I really, really like it... why would I want to trade it away?

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?

I absolutely love pin trading. I managed to resist during my 2001 vacation only to come home and see the sign outside the Disney Store for the 100 years of Dreams pins and that was it. I got hooked. I now have over 800 and adding new ones to my wants list everyday.
