Anyone use Pincastle? (Displaying my ignorance (but I am good at it!))

[ConstableMickey]

I am looking for some pins for me and DW to trade w/ CM’s when we head down for Mouse Fest in Dec. We are not hardcore traders / collectors. We usually trade for pins because we think they look neat, we think the kids might like them or are from an attraction which has a special memory for us.
We have lucked out in the past and were able to get a bunch of DLR pins at 2.50/pin from the Character Premier Outlet store but those are just about all gone. I just want to get a hand full and the deal they have for 11 pins for $35 with no S&H seems pretty good to me (I’m sure I could get a better deal doing the E Bay thing, but I don’t want to mess around with a bunch of people I don’t know – I’m more a grab and go kinda guy). So, my question is: has anyone used pincastle? What was the quality of their pins? Would you use them again?

Thanks,
CJ

Pincastle used to have 10-pin lots on eBay all the time, but it just occurred to me that I haven't seen one in quite awhile. I did get one lot from them and it was fine. The pins had "generic" backs on them instead of the Mickey backs, but that's not really a big deal.

I got 25 pins at $2.30 each with free shipping. I just received my first order yesterday and will be using them again.

I heartily endorse Darlene and Nena at waltsbasement.com! Ordered from them before and they are now back in business after running out of pins during the Sept. WDW pin event. The pins I got from them were about $2.37 apiece and were first rate!
