![]() Rules for trading dictate it's only ONE pin per ONE pin trade. I had my eye on a WDI Exclusive LE pin these people had, but they were trying to get me to buy TWO pins in exchange, and that is definitely a red flag. I 'traded' two bought pins for what turned out to be CM Lanyard pins i had been looking for ( although genuine ) for two freshly purchased Limited Editions. This happened to me.but i realized these people i was dealing with were con-artists in disguise a little too late. Instead, they try to talk you into buying a pin or pins from the Disney kiosk behind them to trade with.and of course they usually want the most expensive or whatever the current Limited Edition series is. They usually have several binders packed full with seemingly amazing pins but when you ask about a trade and find something you like, they usually don't want anything you have to trade. Some of these people are locals who are eBay resellers who are preying on uneducated pin traders. I would also like to add that anyone wishing to deal with the visiting Pin Traders who set up shop on the assortment of outdoor tables at Epcot in front of Pin Central or elsewhere be cautious -Ī few years ago i found out the hard way these are not always trustworthy sources for aquiring pins via 'trading'. I have some scrappers that I have in my pin books just because I havent parted with them yet.but I wont be trading with them. Wether you want to trash some pins depends on how you value your collection. Most guests go home from a trip, put the pins in books or on display boards and they are fine with the pins they have, proper ones or not. Your right that you can look for discoloring, poor quality, and signs that a pin just doesnt look right. In EP you can deal with traders by the pin station that can look closely at what you have to determine their value. Ive gotten to just buy my pins from the Disney kiosks or stores where I know they are genuine. ![]() You cant find many genuine Disney pins on lanyards. Disney doesnt go over the traded pins and throw them out, they keep trading them with guests. They then go to the parks and trade their lots, so that the majority of the pins youll find on CM's lanyards are those scrappers. They want to get a deal on pins and think a pin is a pin is a pin, so I wont spend good money on pins I'm going to trade. For years guests have been buying huge discounted lots of pins on ebay and other sites.
