Curious do you remember your starting number?

yer i jumped from 60 to 220 strangely. so my starting number was 220 lol.

 

[gshawen]

I have to say with 1 hour left, it looks like the numbers are going to be much closer to what gas estimated. (low 200)

Did you ever have reason to doubt me? The Gas man rules!

Just heard from at friend that was at 210 and didn't make it in. The line was definitely slower this week than usual.

Thanks for the pin, Fin!

Yes, Thank you Fin You have such patience

Sorry but I probably was one of the reasons the line went slower. I had a hard time asking for the pin I wanted, again. Those flashing RED letters I need a cheat sheet for the pin names

Once, when Fin had it in the Mark Twain room, I was first in line! That hasn't happened to me since. But recently, a few trade events ago, when Cyre was first in the room, I was second. I either have tremendous luck or I will have the "lag spurt" Pirate described.

yeah i remember this...lol haven't done that again yet! Was nice being first!

Sorry I missed the trading today, but I was in WDW!! woot!!

No clue about the reality, but I will swear the line moved slower this week for some reason or another.

Crash course, Speedy Pin Trading 101

Pin Dances:
DLR Grand Californian: DLR Grand, Grand Kali
WDW Grand Floridian: WDW Grand, East Coast Grand (Thanks, Fin, for teaching me that 1!)
Miracosta: Mirror Cost A, Me Cost A
Polynesian: Pool Knee Sun, Pool Knee Shone

Character Used
I will almost never go into Pin trading events on Jegrezo. Why? She has too many pins and I have to spend too long tabbing through the pages, waiting for them to load, etc... searching for my pin.

Actual Trade
I go in with a peep that has no more than 10 pins so I can accept trade request, ask for pin, drop pin, say thx, click accept and be gone.

That said, I HIGHLY doubt you were the issue. The line was slow this week. I am hearing numbers from ppl who did not get in that I KNOW have gotten me pins in the past. Who knows why. File it under "The Mysteries of VMK"

 

[aengus]

heh heres a couple more tips

What else do you need to know?

Oh and I do trade with my character, but I do take the time before the event to look and see about where the pin I want to trade is located so I can move a little quicker

ETA: I think the reason the lines are moving slower is because more people are paying attention to posts like this one. I think we have less people jumping out of line between 1 - 300 is all. Who knows. Its a theory

Hey Aengus since you are such good friends with the all the Hosts, why don't you make a suggestion to them to place pictures on their room walls with each pin they have for trade with a saying included on the picture so everyone will know what to ask for. It would speed things up abit.
