I have bought individual pins and recently trades from this seller before. I don't think that she is selling scrapper, fakes, unauthorized etc. She might be a CM who is able to buy them at a discount? I received several packages of pins very similar to the ones that are posted. If they are...
Does anyone know who the main contact at Disney is concerning trademark or copyright infringement? Here's an idea - maybe if enough of us care we can put together some type of complaint signed by a bunch of people. Then they might go after one of the sources of the problem. Like it or not an...
The reason CMs do not refuse to trade is because Disney doesn't want their CMs disappointing a bunch of kids in the park.

Signs of Scrappers
A lot of people post questions about how to identify scrappers, so here is a list of some common signs that you have a scrapper. Please post any additional thoughts you have. Also, please refer to the Good/Bad Internet and eBay Pin Sellers Thread to avoid buying scrappers to...
I know I had heard or seen that too. The way that quality has gone down I guess there is no absolutely sure way to tell. What I mentioned are indicators just like bad color, weight etc. But I have definitely seen scrappers with all the things I have mentioned. Before I knew better I ordered...
I would see if I could find it on PinPics and see if its listed sometimes they will give a description of the fake pin. And at least if you find a good picture of the "good" pin you can carefully compare them. Is there mickey heads stamped on the back? If so they should not show a border...
Hi pix,
We used to message quite a bit when the ebay sellers list was first being built. Glad to see you are still around. Going back to WDW 14 May after missing 2011. Say, have you seen any pictures around showing scrapper 2011 or 2012 hidden kicks? Hope you are doing well!
Hello, I notice that you collect hidden mickeys. Have you happen to see any pics of the scrapper 2011 and/or 2012? I have been out the game for a while now and any help would be appreciated.
When I am shopping I search saved sellers first but then I do "go shopping" esp if I cant find it and if I find a seller that has what I want and I dont know about them I check their store, then their feedback carefully....then decide based on what I find.:dance3:
That said, while he isnt...
The pins we just bought from will appear good. We bought several in the summer on original pin card backs and the sku numbers matched perfectly on over 20 pins. He currently as feedback as buyer hasnt bought any from known scrappers in the last year that I saw.....
hes one of the few I did keep...
To me he was obvious b just what he had in the store as debranator described..I wrote him off before he made it to my feedback check stage
- but remember I was burned by retiredreading specialist - sweet as she is - this summer, badly to the tune of I dont know $250 dollars because she was/is...
They are hit and miss on the pages of pins last few days. Dearch doesnt work. Pin releases were showing on upcoming pins and new pins. HM's are supposed to be revelealed at midnight New Years Eve, so Ive heard.
:confused3
Check the feedback as buyer on ebay and many people will surprise you on where they are getting their pins. Several sellers I thought were good and are on this green list to buy from are buying huge scrapping lots. So apparently their mode is to buy huge lots of scrappers then steal good hidden...
