New Trader Info

[wildangel]

I will be doing a cruise and going to the park this year. I would like to get into a little pin trading. Just a few for fun with the kids. This is what I have grasped so far. You have a pin in your possesion and you can trade with any pin trader who works for Disney for a one on one basis. I also get the idea that you can trade with other people. Im not really in it for the value, just the fun but along the way if I run into a valuable pin it would be cool. I was thinking that E-bay would be a good place to get pins very inexpensively to trade. Please let me know if all this info is correct and any NEW TRADER hints would be helpful. THANKS

Ebay is sometimes a good place to find "inexpensive" traders..but you have to watch what you are doing..some people get so carried away with the "auction atmosphere" that they end up paying much more than a pin is actually worth..also you must take into account the shipping charges..some of the sellers charge outrageous fees for a pin that will fit into a LBE with less than $.60 postage..(they ask $3 or more!)..so have fun collecting..but go into it with your eyes wide open..HAVE FUN!
