New to Pin Trading

[Seewhatimesdone]

I'm new to collecting pins (a dangerous habit) and I love it! But I have a few questions. I have just a plain black lanyard which i'm keeping all my Nightmare Before Christmas and Halloween pins on but there's nothing hanging off of the bottom, just the silver loop. Everytime I see people with their lanyard in the parks they have something hanging off the end; do I buy something special to hang off the end?

And how does the pin trading work exactly? Any help or tips would be great! I saw people with huge books with thousands of pins at DTD and it was amazing!!!

Yes, you can buy those metal things at the bottom of the lanyard. You might look for a Jack Skellington head or something to fit your theme.

If you are talking about trading with a CM, it is one of your pins, you decide, to one of theirs, again your choice.

If you are trading with a guest, then it has to be a mutually decided trade. In other words, you have something I want, in exchange for something you want, and we both have to decide if the trade is "fair". As some pins can get very $$$$, this can lead to 2 or more pins of yours for 1 of mine, etc.
