Cheap pins?! Are these ok?

[SnoWhiteRabbit]

I'm trying to get a few cheap pins for my daughters to trade in the parks. I'm finding ggod deals on ebay, but I';m afraid the pins are going to be junk -- and worse non-tradeable. Anybody want to take a peek at these auctions and tell me what you think?

I looked at these pins. I am pretty sure you can trade them. I have traded with cm's and got pins like those but if you want to be safe do a search on ebay for this seller: rystinsales. They are from cheappins.com (which don't sell disney pins at their website anymore). They are very reputable and you will be happy with their pins. I know that if the pin say disney on the back, the cm has to trade. you can email the seller and ask if it does. Good luck.

I am not sure about the first set you listed but the 2nd set is made in Spain and does not have the Disney copyright on the back. they are made of some type of black metal, very distinct looking, and supposed to be not tradeable. some do pass them through to unknowing CM's but the CM's who know will not take them from you.
I wouldn't take a chance if I were you.
I have sent you a PM about ways to find trading pins. Hope this helps. Peggie

The first set says they have the Disney stamp on the back. As long as they are the cloissone (sp?) type of closure on the back, they should be fine.

I don't know about the second set. Email the seller and ask if they have the Disney stamp on the back.
