Purchasing Pins Prior To Trip

[AdventureGuru]

Hi Everyone!
BF and I went to WDW in 2004 and he got into pin trading (I personnally thought that he wouldnt be interested but apparently the little boy in him thought this was great!) Well, we are looking at GOING BACK in 2007 (and I couldnt be happier!) However, I want to make sure that I have enough time to get lots of pins so that we can trade and not worry about the pins that we have purchased or traded while on the trip.(does that make sense?) Last time we found ourselves trading with CM's but we didnt have any pins so we would run to the store on the ship-purchase a pin and run back to the CM...it was actually kind of funny...
So, where can I get pins so that I can build up our collection prior to leaving...I've got lots of time...and am thinking about filling up his stocking this Christmas with (you guessed it) PINS!!!

I bought two starter sets (10 pins) on EBay.....just be careful of what you are buying... my opinion is to check feedback and check what you are getting. I did not buy from a dealer with generic pins, but from someone who wanted to sell thier collection. In those sets, I had mostly retired pins, and a couple Limited editions.
Also, you can check the boards at Dizpins.. there are people selling pins there too!
