Pin trading forum?

[bocabryan]

There are a few pins that I really don't like and would like to trade for specific pins (namely the pluto pirate VMK one, then I would have the whole set!). So, I am wondering if there is a pin trading forum somewhere where you can trade pins for pins with people, then mailing them to each other. Anybody know of any sites like this?

Pinpics.com does that, or you can try here to see if you have any takers. I don't have any of the VMK pins or I'd get in touch.

Hmm, is there any way to tell if they are a reputable seller on that site?

Also, I bought a box of VMK pins as a disney store, and one pin looks a tad bit darker than other doubles that I have of that pin. What does this mean? Should I not trade it? Remember, this pin was in a boxed set.

No one sells on pinpics, just trading there.

Well, I mean reputable trader, to make sure that they will send me the pic I want, and they will get theirs. Is there any way to do this on pinpics?

I don't know, I've never done it personally. But I did see on the boards here that they are going to stop the trades so I guess you'll need to find someplace else anyway.

With Pinpics, you register and can put in a trade request with people. When someone answers you, go to dizpins.com and check that person out through the reference center. All you need to know is their email address. Dizpins will show how many references they have. When you complete a trade, you are supposed to leave a reference for that person. Usually if someone has a number of trade references, you can feel fairly confident with them. Also, when considering a pending trade, you can ask any questions from that person before trading.
