Cool. Maybe later or tomorrow I'll try to get good photos of a couple I'm not sure about. Thanks.

i just won 2 lots from sleepys emporium....
not like we need more traders, but they had a donald lot up (dh's fave) and a villains lot up (all of a sudden i want villains)
i'm curious as to what i'll get! but i've heard good things about them, and i'm not too worried about getting scrapers, and if we do, not a prob since dh likes donald.....

Is anyone familiar with the ebay seller elizabethturner? They have many pins and pin lots for sale, but I didn't see them listed on any of the lists. I am looking to purchase some for November.

Thanks,

Always be cautious with lots. I also see that she sells WDI ID Badges, which are scrapped a lot. Can't make a definite call though.

Wanted to get some pins before the trip, went with a seller with lots of great feedback, 100 pins, seller says that all the pins were purchased from Disney or traded for in Disney, about 30 are guaranteed scrappers, and pretty obvious. Most of the rest are on the suspect list, and you would have to assume that they are too. 1 or 2 pins that are real and 4 or 5 that if they are fake, are really good fakes.

I can not find any auctions by them listed?

Also, before you do sellandship as a good seller, they too had a lot of the WDI ID Badges, loose and off card, 4-5 of each pin, and they still have even more now, which seems odd for a LE 300 pin run. I got a couple when I got my wedding cake topper from them a couple of months ago, and when I asked about scrappers, since one had it's pin loose, they took offense to the question when I asked was it meant to be loose like that and could I exchange it

What is a WDI ID badge?

Thanks for the info Bronco, I'll put them on orange

Ooh! I should have figured that out. I actually have one of those. My friend got it for me when she was out in California and at the Imagineering store.

 

[daisy 'n donald]

just got my pins from sleepy's emporium today
i had got the 12 pin lot of donald and a 12 pin lot of villains
as far as i can tell, all 24 are legit non scrapper pins....
there are some pretty cool rack pins in the lot too!
i'm tempted to get more, but, i think i'm going to wait until we go and come back, just so i can see what i trade for....

so, so far this green list of people have worked out great for me!
i am very happy with my pins from pinderlla's castle and sleepy's emporium!

thanks!

Just to report, I have a few of the WDI ID badges, they are all scrappers. That's OK with me, I wanted them for ME and not for trade or resale and I paid almost nothing for it.

Which ones. I have some that I got loose and some that are still mint on the backer cards?

 

[AmyPond]

Okay, so I'm 99.9% sure at least one of the pins I got off ebay is a fake. I can't remember who I got it from because it was over a year ago.

It's a WDI Space Mountain pin. The reason I'm pretty sure it's fake is becaue the stuff on the back is just typed in black. It's flat. Not stamped into it. I feel bad because it's a pin I bought online for my husband. He said he doesn't care though since he doesn't plan on trading it ever.

I thought I'd share pictures of it.

Here's the front -

And here's the back -

It looks silver without the flash. So here's one with the flash. You can't read the words as well here though.

(Sorry if this shouldn't have been posted in this thread. I'm not familiar with this section of the board. Let me know if I should take this elsewhere. I have a couple pins I'm not sure about but I don't know if I should post photos and ask here or somewhere else)

That is PinPics #39165. There isn't any information regarding the possibility of it being a fake/scrapper pin on PinPics. Maybe someone else will see this post own that pin and can verify if the back is stamped ON or INTO the finish. Good luck!

I have a Maleficent one and a Mickey one and I got a couple for the girls but can't remember which ones. I have a lot of really cool Maleficent pins (I love her) and I just wanted to add the WDI pin, I bought it assuming it was fake and yup, it's got those horrible directional scratches and no shiny finish on it.

there are some pins that are legit that have no back stamp but rather a print. I've seen some and I might still have some, I'd have to check. Another good thing to note is the dangle part has the waffle print that goes off the edge, I think you might have a good pin there.

 

[AmyPond]

Really?? Crazy. I was for sure the regular print meant it was a fake. (I'm still really new to this pin stuff.)

Can I post a few more pins to get opinions? Or should I make a new thread for that?

You can also check pin pics.

[AmyPond]

Hmm, looks the same to my eyes. I wish they had a photo of the back.

Please start a new thread with pics of other pins, that helps to keep this one focused on eBay sellers.

Pinpics doesn't do photos of the backs, what they do is put a scrapper warning on the page, if you go here http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=52619&sid=4123.1280020835.v2 and scroll down you will see what I mean by the scrapper warning.

 

[pixiewings71]

I also wanted to pop in with more feedback on Domimgood, I am watching 1 pin he has up for auction and also some silly bandz. I did notice that he has some LE fairy pins up with photos of the front and back, the photo of the back you can clearly see what we are referring to when we say there's a border around the edge, that's not supposed to be there, those Mickey heads are supposed to go all the way off the edges of the back. I don't want to post a link but if you do a search for his eBay name and scroll and few pages back you'll see what I'm referring to. So he definitely needs to be at least on the yellow list. Like I said, I am watching a pin but if I do end up with it it will be added to my collection and not traded.
