Pin Trading on the Ship

[wovenwonder]

I remember a website that was listed -- a place to buy some pins inexpensively to start trading. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

1st, there is a pin trading forum right here on these boards. I think you can find just about anything you want there!

2nd, if you're looking for inexpensive pins to use for trading, it's hard to beat Ebay. I have purchased pins in 10, 20, 30 pin lots averaging sometimes less than 3 bucks each. It feels great trading cheap pins you don't want for 8 or 9 dollar pins you DO want!

What I do is, go to ebay.com, look under the Disney pins section, and do a search on the word "lot"... you'll always come up with a few groups of pins that sometimes sell pretty cheap. If you can get 20 pins for around 60 or even 80 bucks, you're doing great. 20 pins off the racks at WDW or DCL would be over $ 160.00 !! It's a good way to get started. Just don't bid on pins you like too much or you won't want to trade them! Buy pins you're not interested in so you'll be anxious to trade 'em.

Hope this helps ya!

I found www.cheappins.com and purchases a set of 9 pins --- snow white and the 7 dwarves and the'king' I think? They were cheap -- $17 something for the set of 9. I hope that these will be trade worthy on the ship! It will give my son something to start with anyway. (I did order two sets -- one to keep)
