pins on ebay

A rookie pin trader here:
I've checked out the huge amounts of pins available on ebay. If they are official Disney pins should they be listed on the disney.go website???

This is one of the best sites to find out pin and button information:

Mike,

Thanks for the info on the pinpics website. You are right, it is very detailed and has helped in the bidding process to get our collection started.

Thanks!!!!

I always buy a handful of pins off ebay prior to each trip. I try to get them for under $4 each w/ shipping. They are for DS to trade at the parks. It is a great way to not have to trade the one's w/ sentimental value.

My goal is to get them under $5 with shipping. Aren't they $6 - $8 at the park??? Where is a good place to find lanyards - Downtown Disney? I also heard there was a Disney outlet at the Belz shops. What are your recommendations? Looks like we'll be there at the same time. We leave in 17 days!!!

If you are looking for traders, another site I use is www.cheappins.com. They usually have a number of pins that are around $3 each and shipping is like $2-$3. Back when the DS was clearing out all their pins you could get 13 pins from cheappins for $23, but they have since ran out. Also, if you keep checking back, they sometimes have some pins that are near the $2 range.

You might do a search for seller "dealsatdisney" on ebay. This is the Disney auctions. I bought a set of 4 pins for 7.99. They had more than 1 set so I got 3 sets and since I got more than 1 set the shipping was combined and reduced. This brought the per pin price to about $2.58.

We have purchsed out "Traders" on Cheappins when they had a case of 100 dopey pins for $100...it was 1.00 per pin

Then Christmas 2002 TDS had a clearance of pins at .64 cents with your Disney card discount...I purchased about 250 pins...we were planning on using them all as traders for our 15 day trip this past Christmas....well the good news is that we haven't used them all so unless I find another killer deal I'm holding off purchasing...
