Hi everyone 
We've been to disney twice and are going again this december. We've bought a few pins on those trips that i'm going to try and display in our spare room. I've started wondering whether to give pin trading a try just for the fun of it - we wouldnt be bothered about the value of pins etc... just if we like them so that we can display them back home.
Could someone give me a quick guide as to how it works? Do we just display the ones we are willing to swap on a lanyard and then walk up to people who have lanyards too? Or is it mainly CM's that we should be swapping with?
Does anyone know of a legitimate seller on ebay who I could get a bunch of nice pins from to start trading with?

I have keepers & traders on my lanyard, I have the keepers attached with locking backs and altho I get a lot of interest I don't trade them. You can trade with CM's or individuals but when trading with individuals be sure you're educated and avoid those who try to take advantage of newbies when possible. Most of all trust your gut, if a trade feels "wrong" don't do it.
