Three way trades work great I do them all the time I want what a pin trader has but they want what somebody else has and the somebody else wants something I have, we all do the wheel trade thing and its done.
But a three way trade can turn evil and here is how one did.
So heres what happened there were three pin traders lets call them pin trader 1, pin trader 2, and shark-bite 3.
Pin trader 1 and 2 are friends and go see shark-bite 3 who has pins galore, so pin trader 1, and 2 go looking through shark-bites book, while shark-bite is looking through their pin bags.
Now lets try this and hope we dont loose anybody. Pin trader 1, finds a much needed pin in shark-bites book, this pin he has been searching for over 6 months, and he immediately breaks the pin etiquette rule book and does a pre acquisition happy pin dance he then announces to the world that he is a happy man again and life is good as we all know it. Oh and his Christmas is save and blah blah blah on and on digging his own pin grave.
His friend pin trader 2, is very happy for him and proceeds to take her top off as a gesture of good faith and pure joy reigns from the pin floor (one moment please) Okay correction her top did not come off, it was wishful thinking on my part .
Okay put your visual aids away it aint happening. Fine lets be dull She was happy for him (sigh Boring ZZZZZZZ)
Shark-bite 3 being an all around good guy cant wait to give pin trader 1 the pin because he knows how happy this will make him.
the term ROTFLMAO comes to mind.
Meanwhile back in the real world Shark-bite 3, just quietly smiles says hmmmm nice, and proceeds to take a closer look and the pin books knowing that he will get lots more pins from this trade.
Then the evil begins you see pin trader 2 still with her top on, just got back from the cruise and had lots of those wonderful LE500 and LE750 pins some signed by the artist and all still sealed in plastic with salt mist spray still on them, and if you held them to your ear you could still hear faintly the ship horn playing when you wish upon a star in the background.
Shark-bite 3, now plays the win win game, knowing that pin trader 1, must have that pin in order to save his marriage, and for him to become a complete man again, makes pin trader 2 the bad person, by asking for several pins that are not even close to being a fair trade, when pin trader 2 refuses in a very polite fashion mind you, shark-bite 3 then looks to pin trader 1, and announces that if pin trader 2 didnt trade, then he could not trade you see mysteriously shark-bite needed those pins from pin trader 2, complete a set that would allow him to trade the pin to pin trader 1. Since pin trader 2 would not trade, shark bite would not trade to pin trader 1, and proceeded to convince pin trader 1 to convince pin trader 2 for the sake of their friendship to trade those pins and save his marriage, shark-bite 3 now get to sit back and watch friends go at for the sake of a pin.
So you see a win win for shark-bite
Lesson to be learned pin trader 2 was correct in telling me the minute she heard shark-bite say this she closed her bag and left.
Some simple rules to follow that may help you in a three way trade.
Never do the happy pin dance until the pin is traded in safely stashed in you underwear, plus this gives you extra energy to dance lateron cold metal on the boys will make you hop thats for sure, thats what they tell me anyway cause I would'nt know.
Never involve a friend if this happens dont look at your friend like its their fault, look at the trader that suggested it and say thanks, but you dont play those games.
Never let a trader look at multiple bags only the bag of the person you are trading with should be out in the open.
If you are desperate enough to try to do this offer your friend a look at your bag and see if you can first trade her for the pins that shark-bite wants and be prepared to bleed a lot cause if you were willing to let your friend give up those pin be prepared to pay for them dont even think on copping an attitude and call your friend a shark.
Lastly if you believe the I need those pins in order to complete a set, so I can trade you your pin story Then I have land in Okeechobee for sale for you very close to the water.
Finally remember no pin is worth a friendship and I have seen several go bye bye since I started this thing called pin trading, so think once, think twice, think dont drive on the pavement. (Ill explain later or you can ask Donna)
Oh and the final result of the three way, after a little brain storming, my friend got his pin, and my other friend keep hers and her top on as well. Shark-bite got bitten the marriage was saved, and a good day was had by all.

I miss the boat, Michelle rules the Cosmos wink wink nudge nudge say no more know what I mean governor. I love Monty Python and the flying circus, why heck I grew up on it. No Im not holier than now, just hate to see people unhappy, and no I dont keep pins in my underwear, but if I did they would all be holy grails
