Pin Trading

[IanBond]

Hi all,
Has anyone ever tried this re pin trading,In Dec we started never done it before had none to swap so obviously we had to buy there,all 4 of us were doing it and I shudder to think what we spent!!!
However all the ones we have now we want to keep cant part with any!! we plan on going back next Dec and want to trade pins sure we dont mind buying special ones etc,but has anyone ever bought any of Ebay just to trade? Thers US sellers who sell lots of 100 which work out at approx £100 inc postage,over there youd pay 600-800 dollars
Has anyone ever done this? Is it ethical! any drawbacks the only one I can see is we may want to keep some of them before we go!
Any advice would be mucho appreciated,anyone who hasnt traded pins before it is so much fun,I look at our collections now and again and the memories flood back....

I don't think there will be any problems doing that. I brought some up at UK Disney Store before we went last year - people loved getting a UK one Also a friend in California sent me some from there and I used them for trading too.

I can't answer the e-bay side of things, but I bulk buy at my local Disney store in the sale - last time I got 20 for £36 (not quite as good as your e-bay deal, but not bad). This means DD has some to keep and duplicates to trade.
