Okay, so we are just beginning our pin trading adventures.

We have been buying a few small pin lots on ebay to help us get a base collection started.
During our first week of "newbie ebaying" my dh accidentally placed a bit on a lot from someone in France.
I told him it was probably a deal that was too good to be true,9 Disney Lion King pins for 15.00.

Anyway, we won the auction, paid the seller and have been patiently waiting for the pins to arrive.

They came today, and my gut feeling was right.
The pins are definitely NOT the same quality as the other official Disney pins we have purchased.They are light weight,and have very poor coloring and quality--compared to all the others we have--.The backs of them have gold aluminum(??) pin backs and are stampedDisney Sedesmasa

My question is:
Are these worth anything? I mean can we let our kids have them for their lanyards?And are they even tradeable at WDW?

Thanks so much for your help!
Chris

Currently, they are tradable with WDW CMs. So enjoy. :wave2:

Great!!

Thanks so much Luv2Roam. I am certainly glad to hear that.
We've given them to our sons who are very proudly displaying them on their new lanyards.
They are really looking forward to pin trading in Sept!
