[Pooh67_68]

Nancy, when I went back and looked at your pins, I did notice the PO pin also.


Janet, cool collection. I started out collecting Cast Member pins and it escalated from there. :rolleyes1



Amanda, :thumbsup2 on the pins you just got. I see a lot that I have.



And how bad am I?? :3dglasses I went and looked up every pin I own on pinpics to make sure they were real Disney pins and not knock offs, as most came from eBay.

[Meriweather]

Great batch of pins, Amanda ::yes::

You guys have got me more addicted :p
Usually I just buy when we go to the parks. Or when Disney Visa was having their quarterly ones.
In the last 2 weeks I have bought from Disney Shopping, ebay and 2 online stores :rolleyes:

I have a few traders.

I bought 3 villians in cauldons yesterday. I want more of those. ::yes::

I am headed off to visit DD for the weekend. I will have computer access and hope to see most of the remaining exchanges arrive soon.
Gaspodes 2 should be the last ones and that should be early next week.
I will check with some other people....theirs should have arrived.

[DJT]

Love seeing those pins! How do you guys post your pictures? Even if I knew how, I don't know if I could do it since I just have dial up and it would probably be so slow.

Donna

[Meriweather]

I have dial up too....so no excuses ;)

You have to upload your pictures to a website....photobucket, imagestation or something like that.

Do we have any news today??
I am getting a bit worried about one person.....hopefully will hear something from her soon.
I am out of town now.....when I get back on Monday, I will deal with it more persistantly ;)

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Janet & Heidi inspired me to pop in and have a look.:) I haven't ever done an exchange but I am horribly addicted to pins. Thanks for sharing pics of your collections!

[Meriweather]

Hopefully we wil hear of some arrivals today ::yes::
We have 3 that should have arrived by now.

[Gaspode]

Was truly hoping the two I sent out would have arrived by now....

Gaspodé

[jensenba]

Sorry for my tardiness!!:rolleyes1 I have just been so busy planning my upcommng WDW trip on these boards, :cool1: I have neglected the pin exchange. Sorry :rolleyes:

I did receive my first exchange earlier this week.

Thanks Donna. :banana:

I receieved:
Pin 13027: 12 Months of Magic - Ye Olden Days (Mickey)

and

Pin 37010: DLRP - Cast Lanyard Series - Mickey Snow Surfing

as well as some Kim Possible Stickers and some blue and orange mickey hair clips (go Boise State :cheer2: )

[tinknme]

Hi Elizabeth! So are you thinking about joining in on the next exchange?


Janet & Heidi inspired me to pop in and have a look.:) I haven't ever done an exchange but I am horribly addicted to pins. Thanks for sharing pics of your collections!

[tinknme]

No package for Garrett today, maybe it will arrive Monday!

Hopefully we wil hear of some arrivals today ::yes::
We have 3 that should have arrived by now.

[ukdisneydreamer]

Has anyone done business with pinseller.com
their prices look pretty good to me....but I don't know much except how much they cost at the parks :eek:

have used them with success - when my pins didnt arrive across the pond i was sent a replacement with no quibbles - the pins may be a bit pricier but well worth it for the service you get.:thumbsup2


On another note very glad my traders liked their pins - I didnt have many to trade and the UK Disney stores dont really sell as many as the US.

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hi Elizabeth! So are you thinking about joining in on the next exchange?

Maybe. We'll see how my summer is going when the next exchange rolls around.;)

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear from Allison ::yes::
Do you have DC for yours? It has been over a week and your US has yet to arrive.

Gaspode yours should arrive soon. Some are taking 7 days or so.

[Meriweather]

Okay...we are down to 4 still waiting.

jensenba (mailed 6-18)
Garret (mailed 6-18)
ukdisneydreamer (mailed 6-15)
ksloane (mailed 6-22??)

Hopefully they will all arrive within the next couple of days.

[Pooh67_68]

Come on mail. If we want Nancy to host another, would be nice if this one ended on a good note.

[Fire14]

On another note very glad my traders liked their pins - I didnt have many to trade and the UK Disney stores dont really sell as many as the US.

I don't know about your area of UK but there has been many a pin from UK I'd love to own. I really love the eeyore ones and as eeyore is from Great Brtian he tends to have cuter pins over there.
Juli

[Meriweather]

Hope we have several arrivals today.
I am about ready to leave to go home....so will check in later this afternoon.....hopefully to hear some good news.

[mickeydreams]

I have received mine! Thanks! I had fun, this was my first time and it was exciting!:yay:

[Pooh67_68]

Safe travels Nancy.


mickeydreams, what pins did you receive?

[tinknme]

No pins here today, maybe tomorrow.

[Gaspode]

Bah! Was hoping the ones I sent would have arrived by now. I do hope my exchangees think them worth the wait :)

[mickeydreams]

I received a pin of the seven dworfs and the other was a mickey head that spun around. They were neat! I like Mickey so I have decided to keep him!

[Meriweather]

Anyone else receive today.
We have 3 that are UK related and one US....they should all be arriving by tomorrow....hopefully ::yes::

Mickeydreams were from DJT....maybe she can tell us what she sent ;)

[jensenba]

[TheDisneyBunch]

Awesome Nancy!! Those are really cool pins!

Somebody needs to stop me. I just keep bidding and bidding and bidding..lol

Crazy I tell you!

I have had over 60 bids but only won 2 so far. The one from the other day and then I won a lot of 4 tonight. Nothing cool about the 4 really but hey I got them for $5.50 shipped so great traders..haha

I have my eye on a large lot right now that I would love to buy but not sure if I will be brave enough to try and get it or not.

I swear I am determined to at least have 10 pins a day to trade on our trip! Can you tell what I love to do in Disney?? :rotfl: Well I love to eat and take pics too..;)

[Meriweather]

Good luck, Amanda.
Hopefully my ebay purchases will start arriving soon too ::yes::

[DJT]

Anyone else receive today.

Meriweather, I sent mine to snowwhitesmom and to Jensenba and they both received theirs already.

Donna

[ukdisneydreamer]

got my two wonderful pins from jensemba this morning, one is a mickey mouse mgm pin and the other is a FABULOUS figment pin with create on it like the epcot car park signs. I absolutely adore them, thank you thank you thank you:love:

[ksloane]

Yea!! I got my pints yesterday and I LOVE THEM!!! They were so worth they wait...VERY CUTE!! :goodvibes

One is of Mickey and Minnie all snuggled up. :love: It's #45835.

The other is my favorite and most certainly a keeper!!!! No trading it! It's called silly symphony. It's a pin of a movie poster. Very unique (to me anyways!!) It's #35998

Thanks so much jensenba!

[Meriweather]

:woohoo: That only leaves Garrett and that should be arriving today, hopefully!!
::yes::

[tinknme]

Garrett's pins arrived! He received a Stitch pin, a DLR Sports League pin, & a DLR sports pin with Mickey, Goofy, & Donald on it! He also received Stitch & JS stickers along with a nice postcard from Gaspode.

Thank you very much, Garrett is very happy with his pins & says they are all keepers! He is putting them in the keeper book now :thumbsup2

[Meriweather]

party: We are done!! And in good time too with NO elves needed!! :woohoo: :woohoo:
Hope to see you all back in August!! :hyper:

[tinknme]

I can't wait!



Hope to see you all back in August!! :hyper:

[DJT]

And I can't wait!!! :banana:

[Gaspode]

I'm so glad mine arrived and were enjoyed!

Nancy, thanks for all your work on this one, it was fabulous and I'll be waiting eagerly for August!

Gaspodé

[jensenba]

I am so GLAD all my pins arrived!! I had a little bit of drama trying to get them mailed. :rolleyes: And I am happy that all of them are now in loving homes. :cool1:

[Meriweather]

I've already been trying to build up my "extras" for the next exchange :)
Since I know what a lot of people like, I can lean in that direction.

[DJT]

I'm building my extras, too, in preparation for the next one. I can hardly wait! :cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I admit to ebaying and keep a stock of tradeables on hand. :thumbsup2

[tinknme]

I'm trying, but so far everything I have bought I want to keep :rotfl:

[Meriweather]

I'm trying, but so far everything I have bought I want to keep :rotfl:


:rotfl: Me too....so I bought 2 of some ;)

[tinknme]

Good idea :thumbsup2


:rotfl: Me too....so I bought 2 of some ;)

[TheDisneyBunch]

There are so many I want to buy!! Did I mention how addicting this is?? :rotfl:

I should have several built up for the next exchange. I am looking forward to it. :banana:

I have come to the conclusion after browsing ebay for over about 2 weeks now that I just love BIG pins! :rotfl: So now my least faves are cast lanyard/hidden mickey and my most fave are cool rack pins!

I can't wait for my trip to see what all I get luck and find. :banana:

[DJT]

We usually buy a grab bag of pins from someone on dizpins to use for traders. Plus, it's fun not knowing which pins we're getting. The problem is, when they arrive there seem to be more that we want to keep than trade. Oh well, just means ordering more. :rolleyes1

[Meriweather]

For you ebayers.....strange thing. One of the buyers I won a pin from and said she can't find that pin :eek: And what do I want instead. That is very odd....not sure what to say. Any ideas??

[AlexWyattMommy]

I guess look at what she has out of auction that has no bids on it?

If she is close to WDW or DL than tell you her want a ride/attraction pin.

[Meriweather]

Thanks...I asked her to send me some more info rather just a "what else do you want". She seems an odd one ;)

Hmmm...looks like she doesn't have anything else listed.

[Pooh67_68]

Well that's a bit strange. :confused3
Nancy I hope everything works out with said auction.

[Pooh67_68]

How does that work?

Here is the few pin on my lanyard. I also forgot about the framed pin set that I have.

I go to www.dizpins.com and then go to where they have pins for sale. On that for sale board, people list individual pins they want to sell and they also have trader pins they sell. That's where I go when I'm shopping for traders. I've also bought specific pins I wanted from people there. I have always received nice pins when I've bought from people there.

I have that same framed pin set that you have. It's so neat, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing more, Heidi :)

I received one of my pins from ebay.
The one lady still can't find the one I won :rolleyes: I told her to send my check back.

[Pooh67_68]

That sounds like the best bet Nancy.



DJT, thanks for the info. I now have trader pins ordered.

[Meriweather]

Ohhh...now I need to go look there too :rotfl:

This is the framed pins we have. They are actually DH's, but they are hanging in my computer room since it is done in sorcerer apprentice theme.

Pooh 67_68, I'm glad I could help. It's hard to resist, isn't it?! :woohoo:

Nancy, I really like your framed pin set. That frame is beautiful.


Donna

[Pooh67_68]

::yes:: $2.30 per pin and free shipping. :cheer2:


Pooh 67_68, I'm glad I could help. It's hard to resist, isn't it?! :woohoo:

[DJT]

The fun and surprise of not knowing exactly which pins you will be receiving: priceless! It's sort of like our pin exchange. FUN! :cool1:
