New to Pin Trading - Ebay

[chucky1910]

HI All,
Me and my wife visited WDW Feb 09, and we were totally new to PIn Trading, we purchased several pins and lanyards, traded etc,
We spent a hefty penny on Pins, bought in the Disney stores,
We are going to WDW Sep 2010, and would like to know if we can purchase some PIns on Ebay in the UK (as long as they are real ones!!!), bring them to WDW and trade with the CM's.
I am all for putting money into WDW but if i can save a penny buy buying in advance from home that would be nice!! As my wife seems to like the higher ended €€€€€€€€ pins!!!
Could you also give us some advice on the pintrading scene?
Does, Dont's etc,
Many thanks as always

Hi, please see the other thread (about 10 pages by now probably) on good sellers and sellers to avoid. Scrappers are very prevalent (scrappers are not authorized by Disney but look like good pins, have the backstamp and everything but they did pass AC) on eBay.

I've heard great things about http://www.geocities.com/thepinstation/ and http://www.mousepinsonline.com/tp40/Default.asp?ID=18157

Yes you can trade pins from e-bay at WDW, even if there DL Paris pins cast members will take any authentic Disney pins. Just be careful what pins you buy, if it sounds to good to be true it most likely is. Happy pin hunting
