Trading vs. Buying

[mickeysaver]

I need a little help. I am trying to decide if it's really worth it to purchase some pins from CheapPins or if we should just go to WDW with the intent of buying the stuff we want instead of working to find what we want from CM's and other traders. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Mickey

well here's my two cents. if you have kids i would by a grab bag from cheap pins and let them trade them all away for what they really want. the trading is most of the fun with pins, especially for kids. and i think it will be a lot cheaper in the long run, as the cheappins are really cheap, and you should be able to trade for much of what you want, which you would have to pay a minimum of 6.50 for, anyway! every year for christmas I give my kids a stocking full of trader pins, and they have a great time with them every time they're at disney!

Well, we don't have kids, but we are both large toddlers!

I have been trying to snag some pin lots on eBay and have gotten only a couple of little ones so far. We are both still really new to trading. I honestly don't know how much time we will even devote to trading in December, but I know that our Stitch pin addiction shows no sign of fading away.

Thanks for the input. Mickey

DO both (as I do)! Buy some from CheapPins...a very good company...they let you know which are "fantasy" and which are not...which can be traded at WDW and DL..which only at WDW...
You can trade for some pins that you cannot buy or find...plus you can buy some that are not on the lanyards.
