Best place for pins not inside the parks?

[Klayfish]

I'm not really sure what subforum to stick this in, so moderator please feel free to move it wherever it belongs. My kids wanted me to ask everyone if they know of a good place to get pins not inside of Disney? There is a gift shop we use that's on Rt 535 every time we come down. It's one of those places that sell t-shirts, etc...and have discontinued or clearance Disney pins. They sell them for $5-$7 or sometimes you can get a pack of 7 for $25. We've picked that store clean, and all my kids are wondering if anyone knows of other really good places to get discounted pins?

Sometimes the Disney outlets have old pins at a discount. Very hit or miss though. Sometimes they have nothing, sometimes they have some with only a small discount, and sometimes they have stuff incredibly cheap. The outlets can work well if you are looking for cheap authentic pins to trade. Then it doesn't matter what it is, since you can trade it for something you like. The outlets on Vineland and the ones at the end of I-Drive each have one of the Disney outlets.

Yep, that's what a lot of the goal is. They do find some pins they like and want to keep, but about half are used for trading. We've tried the Disney outlets and like you said it's hit or miss. The gift shop we go to has authentic pins, they're just older ones.

Due to camera mishap one trip, I made a trip to a Kissimmee pawn shop and was surprised to find a wide assortment of pins there. Maybe not that surprised after all, having since found out how many predators are at the parks looking for unattended strollers and bags to snatch.
