Pin trading questions

[Bridge203618]

I have some pins that I bought off ebay before i decided to research it. I think some aren't too good but I haven't totally investigated yet.

I have a DD who is 3 and a DSD who is 14 and has done some trading. I want them both to try this out however I hate to buy pins they love and don't want to trade! How do you decide what to get?? Are there some places that are "real" and cheaper than others, or does anyone do lots anymore (real ones)???

Should I buy a lanyard before hand? I don't want to spend a fortune on pins especially for my 3 year old that would much rather have other souvenirs.

WE have a few from a past trip as well.

What is a good number to start with? We aren't hard core collectible people at all just want something to trade

Check out Just for Fun/Disney Collectors Board - Good/Bad Internet and Ebay sellers. How long will you be there?

Feel free to email me as I can help you get set up with some 'known good' sellers.

There are several quality sites where you can buy 'real' pins from. I am unsure as to the rules about posting info about other DIS communities - so email me if you like - phantomvirus @ l i v e d o t c o m
