HELP! Need CM Pic!!

[disneyscootergal]

The only thing is I like all the pins that I am buying. I don't want to trade them, so what do you do? Do you buy ones that you don't really like then trade those? Any info you can give me on this new adventure will greatly appreciated. I really didn't think we would ever do this.

Oh, I did a little poking around, and that gal that I've bought from before IS still around. Here's an url:

Okay, it won't let me do that, let's try her email:

Nikkistixinc@aol.com

Success! I absolutely recommend her, I loved the pins she sent.

disneyscootergal-
I was searching for pins on ebay for my sons to trade on our next trip and came across this item, which is the one I was describing to you earlier.

I've seen this bag on ebay before, and this is a VERY good sale! Thanks for telling me about it, JM!

After much thought, I've decided to go with an idea that I got from a poster on the Disney Collector's Board: I bought a CD case that has a loop on the top and 10 CD holders inside. I put pins on every other page (with a page between to keep the pin backs from scratching any other pins). I have 32 pins in there! It's a little bulgy, but zips closed with no problem. Best of all, it only cost $1.98 at Walmart!!

Now I just have to figure out the best way to attach it to my belt loop. I bought a carabiner clip, but when I tried it, the bag tended to want to hang sideways, making it stick out at an angle from my body; I'd like it to hang down completely flat against my side.

I'm thinking to maybe attach a grommet to the strap to put the carabiner through...?

dsg-I'm glad you found something that works for such a great price!
Good luck with figuring out how to make it lie flat...I'm terrible with that stuff.
You could always use my husband's solution for fixing things..duct tape or zip ties

Also, did you buy most of your pins at DL? I've been looking on ebay at "lots" of pins for my boys to trade this trip. I just know not to buy Sedesma pins or Europins.
Any advice for a newbie pin trader?
I know that CM's will pretty much trade any pin if a child approaches them(as long as it's not junk).
Do you have any favorite sellers on ebay?

Thanks!
