Opinion on Pin Trading?
Okay, I was just wondering on what people's opinions were on collecting and trading Disney pins...
 Please, no fights...

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I think the pins are so cute and fun. I only have a few because it seems a shame to have a lot but not really have anything to do with them.
I don't know how into trading I would be.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I love pin trading! It's great to trade some old pin you don't want for some great pin that you spot on the lanyard of a CM. The beauty of it is, you get rid of the ones you don't want, and if you play it smart, you can come home with all your pins replaced by great pins you want, even limited edition and CM lanyard pins.
Pin trading kicks butt!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I'm kinda neutral on this. I have a bunch of cute pins that I can't see getting rid of!
And I don't have anywhere to put them. I think I am going to save them for when Nathaniel gets older.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I voted neutral. Only because I love collecting pretty Tinkerbell pins & other special pins, but think the whole process of pin trading can be kinda weird.. and I hate lanyards. So yes.. and no. haha.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I LOVE IT!
I hate wearing a lanyard, but I always keep a few pins in my purse or my pocket (purse is preferable - I've had bad experiences with keeping them that close to sensitive flesh! ) just in case. I'm a really picky collector...I concentrate almost entirely on Chip n Dale and other Disney Afternoon characters. But occasionally something else will strike my fancy, and it's just so much fun to hunt for new and unusual pins!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
My girls love it! Emalie ( the youngest) stares at cast member's lanyards until she finds one that she likes!
My DH only collects limited edition pins! I think you can say it is a family thing!

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I love collecting the pins, last trip I went a bit tinkerbell mad because there were hardly any Pooh pins for me to collect, I try n have a theme every trip but always end up picking the odd out of theme pins or little sets (Like the castle windows or the strange ride pins) Im not that intor trading because I always buy pins to keep but I have picked up some Uk Disney Store pins that went down a storm in DLP with trading.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
I think pin trading is great. I don't do it, but my DD does. I love how excited she gets finding a certain pin she was looking for.

Re: Opinion on Pin Trading?
My 8 year old loves pin trading. He doesn't care about he value of the pins he just looks for something that he likes.
