Pin trading

[vern]

as my boyfriend was cleaning the house he found a bunch of pins that i must have ordered alooong time ago (the shipping lable said 2005). Anyway they say sedesma on them.. i don't know about pin trading so can my girls trade them or like i was thinking we got jipped because they are fake.

They're fake?! You can't trade fake pins because then you're jipping someone else which is fraud and that will lead you into deeper trouble than it's worth.

As far as I know, Sedesma pins are not fakes. They are Disney-authorized pins manufactured in Europe, usually just enamel on (thinner) metal and not the heavier cloisonne-quality. Some guests/traders do not like to trade for them. As long as pins are authorized and have "Copyright Disney" or "[copyright symbol] Disney" on the back, guests are supposed to be able to trade them with WDW-CMs.

agnes!

Over he years we have ended up with a few when I have bought lots on Ebay. I have been able to trade them. Technically hey are fake. I think we have only had 2.

If they have the Disney copywrite symbol, they're tradeable with other Disney CMs.

I'd also like to add that there ARE people who like some of these other pins. My mom and I have traded for several sedesma pins because we liked the character or the way they looked.

IMHO, some people take this pin trading thing way too seriously...

Thank you for all the responses.. I just thought they were not tradeable. My dd10 found them last night and loved the designs.
