To start pin trading, buy a lanyard at almost any store in WDW. Then get at least one pin. Put the pin on the lanyard and run around the WDW theme park of your choice like a chicken that just got it's head chopped off. (O.k. I'll admit, the last step was optional.) Find anyone wearing a lanyard with pins on it. Ask to see the pins and ask to trade. Cast members pretty much have to say yes but don't get in a pedestrian's grill, it ain't cool man! Don't Touch The Pins have them come to you! People need their space. You can't trade birthstone or name pins, there just too cool!YOU MUST REMEMBER ONE THING, don't try to steal-I mean, "trade" with little kids. If you make a "trade" that they don't like and take off with the pin that you "traded" them for they'll either cry and make their momma beat you for it or they'll fling a giant lollypop at your head and when you stop running to take it out they beat you into submission. This happened to my friend's cousins, stepmom's, uncle's, sister's ,momma's ,great great aunt about 4 times removed's imaginary boyfriend bobtimmy the earl of mayo. Now that you got the basic fundamentals of the ever amazing, ever changing world of Disney Pin Trading, let's get into pricing. Many a person has lost all of their possesions to that one special pin you just gotta have or you'll die. You can go broke. It's addictive. The average pin is $7-$12 but then you have jumbo pins, which are about $20-$30. So if you want to act a fool and go broke, join are ever growing population of pin addicts. I dare ya!
(I'm kidding it's pretty fun....as long as you can controll your imaginary friends.)
