Ebay & Pins?

[Indiana Rose Lee]

Mousepins still sells Pro Pins, they are fine to trade with CM's but other traders will not usually accept them. They are not "nasty" but they are not as nice as "official Disney pins" either. Of course neither are scrappers.......
Please check Snowdog's status on the Collector's Board to see if they are a green seller before buying from them. As I said previously we try hard to keep that thread updated with our own personal experiences.

Nasty is in the eye of the beholder, and my kids were harassed 3 times by cm's for trading propins that they had traded for. I had to intervene each time with the rules.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with CMs while trading ProPins.

I've never once been "harassed" by CMs while trading ProPins. I will say the last time we did trade them was probably about a year ago, but I never had any problems trading them. In fact many times the CMs told us how cool the ProPins looked and how they wanted to keep them for their own collections. We traded ProPins on almost every one of our 14 trips from July 07-July 08.

We ordered pins off ebay before our trip in 2008 and I even ordered more when we got home to give for Christmas. I think the sellers name had 'kangaroo' in it. I know very little about much that has been discussed like I don't know what a propin is or a scrapper, but my kids had a blast trading. Trading got to a point where we couldn't move around the park at a reasonable speed because my 8 year old had to stop every CM he saw. We would pre-empt and attempt to move across a park by warning him, 'not now', but he loved it. It was such a social activity and they really got a chance to meet alot of CMs. Even my 3 year old did it and came home with a selection of princesses. We put them on bulletin boards too for the kids to look at all year and they don't have to have all of them on their lanyards.

I would definitely recommend it.
