How often does a CM already have a pin?

[BedKnobbery2]

In my pin-buying frenzy, I bought a LOT of duplicate pins, particularly those that were $4 during the BOGO sale. We ended up with 48 of the United States Star/Mickey pin, and as we were pin-sorting, I got to wondering......I'm sure other people did the same as I did, so its likely there will be a lot of the same pins others have brought to trade.....how likely/often does it happen that all of your trading pins are duplicates the CM already have? I just have visions of us having 48 of these pins remaining when we come home. LOL TIA,

It all depends on the CM you end up with. Some accept duplicates and some won't. But like anything else, the rules are interpreted different by everyone but that is a debate for a different time. Make the offer and see what the response is. It sounds as if you have enough pins to have something he is not wearing.

That's one reason I bought almost nothing but NE pins.
Sure someone else may have them, but my guess is I am fairly safe.
Plus I will have other traders I will be taking down, just in case.
I have found it's hard not to have too many traders.
