Any eBay pin seller recommendations?

[mla973]

I want to buy 20-25 pins for an upcoming trip (for trading). I'm not so interested in the value of them, just that they official Disney pins and in good shape for the next trader.

Any recommendations on an eBay seller? There are a lot on there selling lots, but without seeing exactly what I'm bidding on, I'm not sure which one to choose.

Thank you!

Personally, if I buy lots for trading, I make sure that the pins pictured are exactly what I'm getting. I stay away from the "mystery" lots & the "you'll get pins similar to the ones pictured" auctions. Not that the sellers selling these types of lots are selling scrappers or cheapies, it's just that I like to know exactly what I'm getting and also like to remove as many chances of problems as possible. You'll want to check the seller's feedback & make sure it's a high percentage {99%+} and also make sure they have alot of feedback so the rating is a true sign of their rating. {A seller with 4 feedbacks & a 100% rating doesn't mean nearly as much to me as a seller with a 99.7% rating and 500 feedbacks}. Generally, your cost per pin should be around $3.00 each when it's all said & done. Finally, feel free to post specific auctions in the other thread I started awhile back regarding helping people avoid cheap pins. There are many folks on the DIS more than willing to help out & make sure people are getting legit, quality pins for their trip. Good luck!

I buy lots from mubunny on ebay. Sometimes he has loads of "lots" and sometimes he has nothing listed. Keep an eye out though because when he lists some, he usually lists 10-15 "lots of 4, 5, 6 or 7". They have all been true Disney pins and in great condition. He'll combine shipping too. You can send him an email to see if he is going to list any "lots" soon if he doesn't have any up now. Most of what I've bought from him are from WDW in Florida.
