Pin Trading: General pin chat

Thanks for that....I do feel better I must not buy more pins, i must not buy more pins, I must not buy more pins

Aloha,

Do not fret about spending money on pins Bensmum. The PIN will always looks after it's followers. And as I have said before, when you start spending the amount that we do a month, around £300 on Uk pins and then add the 2 to 3 hundred Euros bi-monthly on DLRP pins, then you should start to worry.
We have been trading a lot in the past week. Got some absolutely awesome pins in trades from the USA.
As soon as Simon shows me how to post photos then I'm afraid the temptation will only grow and grow

Simon has been e-baying again so we have a few pins coming from there aswell.

Have a good day everyone

Aloha

Are you talking about the sale from USA site? I am happy to report that while trying to purchase too many sale Pins I forgot my username and the reminder only arrived this morning thus stopping me from spending even more cash??
I do need to get a grip!

LMAO..
That was lucky. I sent a list to my friend in the states and she sent me an e-mail earlier telling me how much my load will come to if I go ahead. Nearly $270 And that doesn't include shipping and taxes. EEEk!!!
I told her to hold fire for now. I have just spent £80 in two days on UK pins so I need to rein myself in.

uh-oh i've been ebaying it! first time i've bought individual pins off ebay! :O only three, and theyre so so so nice, i'll post photos when they come! One of them i wanted to get when i went to Paris in 2 weeks but bought it off ebay so it was cheaper Oh and a bag its a craft bag but is basically a pin bag with clear zip pockets etc, I already have one, and wanted another for when i fill this one
here is the one i have,




its exactly the same as the one ive jsut bought off ebay, cost me £13.50 incl P&p and the one i bought originally cost me £5! from tk maxx. Not shown all pages in it, but i can fit in 100 pins So think I have bought a few bargains on ebay

[simonandwendy626]

[fly_with_me_dumbo]

Go on ebay and search multi pocket organiser in the craft section its £11.50 with £1.50 postage soemthing like that, or theres some on for about £14,

[Belle's World]

As soon as we get paid I am definitely getting one of them. Have just spent 140 Euros on the August pin releases in DLP. And that doesn't include the 9.95 P+P..... my bank card is smoking and not in a good way

[fly_with_me_dumbo]

I have to say i definatly found a bargain my second one came the other day, and now i cant decide on how to organise my pins

[Martin B]

Just a quick question.

When trading with a cast member, can I swap any one of my pins for any of theirs. Can I swap a core range for a limited edition etc?

Are there any restrictions on what I can and can't trade with cast members?

Thanks,

Martin

[jasonp1991]

Hello guys and glas - new here, but I just wanted to say those bags full of trading pins make me nuts!

Martin- In my experience, the cast members are always more than willing to trade - although some locations are more "friendly" than others.

[Stitch2814]

welcome to the forum Martin, the pins that can be traded have to have the pin trading logo on the back of the pin and only 2 at a time..(thought Id mention that just in case)

and other than that you can trade any pin you have (with above rule) to cast member lanyards. and whatever is on the lanyard can be traded for anything you have.. for example I traded a core pin for the Belle locket LE pin.

Although it can depend on the cast member sometimes because I have been refused a trade because the pin I was trading was LE and the one I was giving was a core pin, that's both in DLP and in the Disney Store. Just thought I would say that so that you're (Martin) not surprised if it does happen, but generally they do just trade. I found the majority of DLRP cast members great for trading with.

Thankyou to you all for your quick response. I have about 100 pins, but now have a few unwanted ones as I am more careful choosing themes or characters to collect. I have been collecting pins for a while, but have never traded with a fellow disney fan or cast member.

I am visiting Chester next week so will pop my head in there, are they friendly traders? My local stores are actually Birmingham and Solihull though!

Can't wait to trade... Also going to DLRP on December 27th, plenty of time to buy some traders for using over there.

Very excited now, and once again thanks for your help!!

Martin

[Belle's World]

Hi Martin - pin trdaing is addictive andonce you start you won't want to stop. Most Disney stores have at least 2 lanyards although some actually have 3. It really depends when you go as to the selection sometimes it is mainly uk core pins other times there is a selection of DLRP and American pins. Happy trading.

[Martin B]

Went to the Chester store, excitedly anticipating my first trade to realise that no CMs were wearing lanyards!

Boo Hoo!

Never mind.. found some lovely other items on my trip, so can't complain.

Thanks again for the welcome and advice!

Martin

hi martin.
for future reference if you cant see a lanyard,ask as they usually have them behind the counter
